Looking for NOSQL engines I found about GT.M here:
http://www.slideshare.net/robtweed/gtm-a-tried-and-tested-schemaless-database
At first look good, with SQL ODBC support. But I wonder if exist real experience with this? Somebody have use it?
GT.M is a very flexible engine that allows for NoSQL operations, but also is fast in cacheing disk to memory, as well as extensive enterprise level support.
I suggest you read the discussion by Rob Tweed at http://www.mgateway.com/docs/universalNoSQL.pdf
which would probably help you understand capability without jargon.
Don't have experience with it myself, but there is a list of some users of this database here: http://fisglobal.com/Products/TechnologyPlatforms/GTM/index.htm
From GT.M's Wikipedia page :
GT.M is used as the backend of their FIS Profile banking application, and it powers ING DIRECT banks in the United States, Canada, Spain, France, Italy and the UK. It is also used as an open source backend for the Electronic Health Record system WorldVistA and other open source EHRs such as Medsphere's OpenVista.
and
GT.M is predominantly used in healthcare and financial services industry. The first production use of GT.M was in 1986 at the Elvis Presley Memorial Trauma Center in Memphis, Tennessee.
From History of GT.M :
GT.M is licensed for use at over 1,000 institutions worldwide, ranging from small, community healthcare facilities and large teaching hospitals to some of the largest financial institutions in the world.
Also, from a recent presentation made by K.S. Bhaskar :
System of record for the two largest real time core banking systems in the world as we know of:
Production database sizes of a few TB
Serving around 10,000 concurrent online users + ATMs, voice response unit, web and mobile access
1000s of online banking transactions/seconds with full ACID properties.
Increasingly used in health care for for electronic health records
Operating database for at least one multi-sourced "big-data" project.

I have watched the pricing video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmxXNeqflzM
and have been studying the pricing quote calculator at:
https://licenseandticket.azurewebsites.net/Turnkey/AngularApp#/PriceQuoteWhatIf
How are the following elements defined & quantified?
"Inclusive Add Ons?"
"Better CPU & RAM?"
"Data out from Site?" Does this include large cross-referenced documents stored in a filesystem outside the main database?
"Priority Support?"
"Control Core Deployment?"
"Region Placement?"
"Always On?"
"MDriven Framework Option?"
"History Server Option?"
How does licensing of MDriven designer work if I have the free version (allowing 50 classes) and I want to use more classes? The Turnkey pricing seems to suggest that this is included but how would I unlock the 50 class limit?
Would costs be reduced if I am hosting on my own Azure account?
Finally, how would one calculate the cost for a SaaS where each tenant has their own database?
Many Thanks.
ps: Perhaps it would be a good idea to add this information to the the quote calculator form?
These are all good questions and I will update the wiki page here https://wiki.mdriven.net/index.php/Pricing
I am planning to create a stock based app for iphone. It's going to be a paid app. So I wanted to know what options do I have for getting the data from API.
I have heard of Yahoo finance api, but think it is not free for commecrial use.
What does Apple use for their native app. Could you please provide me with other options.
Thank you.
Getting fast reliable tick data is going to be very expensive, especially if you want every tick. If you want any kind of order book depth, it's even more expensive.
You might want to investigate LMAX who offer a free API. I think they are the same company that do Betfair in the UK. I'm not sure what markets they offer, whether you can use it outside the UK, and whether the prices on show are actual exchange traded prices, or from their own user generated markets, but it might be of interest...
For historical data (historical stock quotes, historical financial statements, historical dividends, etc), you can use the APIs at http://www.mergent.com/servius
(EDIT: The API can deliver historical ratio information such as P/E ratios, but that feature is still undocumented - will be documented soon).
(EDIT: There's also http://www.zacksdata.com/zacks-data-api . By the way, as a disclosure, both APIs are managed by my company).
I am using Scantron Cognition Enterprise at work to capture data from scanned forms. Building these forms is tedious at best, especially when it would be nice to have a library of pre-built objects to use. Unfortunately, documentation and on-line resources are scarce.
Does anyone have any pointers to find some resources for this tool?
Hey Jason, believe it or not, Scantron is STILL the standard, but this is not the Scantron you probably remember. Although OMR (bubble) forms are still used extensively in education, there are a lot more advanced technologies available to be added to them today.
Concerning Cognition, I looked through the available tags and these would fit:
"document-imaging" - Cognition is a document imaging product and can feed images and index values into most commercially available document storage applications
"OCR" - Optical Character Recognition, or reading machine print.
"ICR" - Intelligent Character Recognition - reading hand writing, usually in a constrained print format (one letter per box like a credt card application.
"datacollection" - the key purpose of Cognition is data collection.
However, there is not a tag for "OMR" - Optical Mark Recognition, or reading bubble choices, similar to the basic Scantron forms of the past. Also, I could not find one for "Key From Image", another purpose that Cognition is used for.
I am a Cognition user as well as someone who markets it and I know that there are a large number of users in North America. Many corporations that use Cognition use it for sensitive HR functions and so might not have their usage of it posted in a searchable format. Many other organizations use it for safety inspections, insurance data entry, and also for testing and surveys - basically anywhere you have a large number of paper forms and need all of the data quickly entered into a database. Many users are using Cognition for sensitive applications are so are not likely to share, but I can share a few I have, you could also contact your Scantron rep and they might have something they could share as well. I have some decent ICR fields built for name, e-mail, address, etc. The ICR fields are best when you build in your own dictionary or database look-ups. The OMR fields are the hard ones to build, but I have a few of these as well. The easiest way to share these is to send you the form that already has the field built into it. You can build your own lookups from txt, xls or db files.
I hear a lot about these, but from what I can tell they're no more than highly customised CMS's that allow content to be fed in from third parties such as hotels etc., perhaps with an online booking mechanism.
DMS just seems to be a marketing term for something a developer would be more likely to refer to as a CMS. Is this correct?
Well, wikipedia says:
“Destination Management Systems are systems that consolidate and distribute a comprehensive range of tourism products through a variety of channels and platforms, generally catering for a specific region, and supporting the activities of a destination management organisation within that region. DMS attempt to utilise a customer centric approach in order to manage and market the destination as a holistic entity, typically providing strong destination related information, real-time reservations, destination management tools and paying particular attention to supporting small and independent tourism suppliers.” Frew, A.J. and Horan, P (2007) Destination Website Effectiveness – A Delphi Study-based eMetric Approach, Proceedings of the Hospitality Information Technology Association Conference, HITA 07, Orlando, USA
One thing I really don't think it is, is a "glorified" CMS system (assuming CMS stands for Content Management System!).
Having previously worked in the corporate travel management industry, and helping to develop an "online booking system", I'd like to think I know a little about this.
For the consumer perspective, it's a relatively straightforward process when you think about it. Hotels and Airlines will syndicate their inventory, usually via a mechanism called a GDS (Global Distribution System). There are only really a few of these in the world, and the "big players" are the likes of Sabre, Worldspan, & Amadeus, although some smaller airlines and hotel chains have their own systems (usually run in conjunction with one of the "big" GDS systems!)
For the consumer, you can use an online system to book and manage your holiday (vacation). This may consist of no more than a flight (consisting of two parts - outbound and inbound to/from your destination) and a hotel at a specific destination.
For the consumer market, these systems are usually very price-centric rather than destination-centric, although destination choice is a large part of any of these systems.
Within the corporate market, though, these systems are far more destination-centric, than price-centric.
For example: You're a consultant working for MegaGlobalMega Consulting Corp., and you need to travel from London to Miami, Florida on business. A good "destination management system" will allow you to input, control and manage a complete inventory and itinerary for your journey. You'll book your flight (usually online and in real-time) to Miami. Once there, you'll need a hire car. The DMS will know where you are, and should seamlessly allow you a choice of car hire options (again, ideally in a real-time, connected scenario) to car hire companies that are local to the place where you'll be (i.e. Miami, Florida). Of course, prior to your business meeting the very next day, you want your suit dry-cleaned, so again, your fantastic DMS system will allow you to book some laundry into a local dry-cleaners). And so it goes on....
Of course, if your business meeting was in Paris (France), you'd be shown dry-cleaning options in Paris. Of course, this isn't just car hire and dry-cleaning, but will usually encompass everything either the business man (in the corporate environment) or the tourist (in the consumer environment) requires during a visit.
For the corporate market, these "management systems" are usually administered by the individual client companies (and thus the employees of those companies) that use them and will very often allow very fine-grained control and administration of corporate travel policy, which can include things like:
Maximum spend limits based upon employee "rank" and destination location.
(This will vary by destination, since a hotel in Paris, France is much more expensive than the equivalent hotel in Grimsby, UK)
Alternate/forbidden locations.
Forcing usage of specific brands/chains in specific areas (due to the client company having a relationship with a preferred supplier).
In a nutshell, a Destination Management System, from a technical perspective, can be thought of as a central "hub" that reaches out to numerous suppliers and services all over the world (very often in an online, real-time manner using e.g. web services), allowing the end-user to purchase the products and utilize the services of the suppliers, which can be further refined by a corporate policy (eg preferred suppliers) within a specific "window" based upon geographic location.
Hope this helps!
