Object Oriented Programming, or OOP as it is commonly known, is a key underpinning of TIW products.

TIW uses the standard tool sets in Microsoft Visual FoxPro to make modifications easy.

IMPORTANT

ALERE Accounting and ALERE Manufacturing have been carefully designed to include a layer in the architecture where all changes made by the developer or user can be placed. This method minimizes the impact of product upgrades and thus preserves the investment made in the changes.

Another layer in the architecture is reserved for TIW patches between releases. These patches can be down loaded from our home page and always contain all current modifications.
