3.2.3 GBM Modules

The GBM consists of a number of schemas such as
  • SHS – Stakeholder System
  • OFS – Offering System
  • BTS – Business Transactioning System
  • ATS – Asset Transactioning System
  • FTS – Financial Transactioning System
  • IFS – Interfacing System
 
 
The schemas can easily be maintained and extended through a specialized set of Infomet tools:
  • The Infomet Model Editor maintains the design as a set of graphical models.
  • The Infomet Data Modelling Centre maintains the data definition repository from which we generate the scripts to setup and alter the required database.
 
 
It is of course possible to view the data in the GBM database through the use of specialized front end tools :
  • The GBM Simple Viewer is a simple interrogation tool which allows end-users to build queries related to the entire structure around a deal. Behind the scenes, it does a more full and correct retrieval of all associated data. This is then viewable or printable by the end- users.
  • The GBM GUI Front-end provides an attractive and elegant set of forms used to view the complex data and its relationships.
 
 
To use the database we can either configure it in a transactional model (for commercial transacting) or in a information management manner (for integrated and extensive reporting to the administrators and regulators of the system.
