Monitoring Automation Systems (MAS), the leading supplier of alarm monitoring
software to security companies around the world, uses
WizTom for PowerBuilder
to translate its PowerBuilder applications into several languages. Prior to
adopting WizTom, MAS used self-developed utilities to extract screen prompts from
their source code into spreadsheets, which were then translated and used to
generate a unique version of the source code for each target language.
"WizTom has greatly simplified our translation process", states Mike
Jelderda, Manager of Software Development at MAS. "We can now provide our
customers the tools they need to present our applications to their users in any
languages desired, with very little ongoing effort on our part. The customer
uses a simple application, the WizTom
Translation Pad, to translate the prompts, and they're done. They can
then immediately run our standard application and view it in the target language.
By using WizTom, we've saved countless hours generating and managing multiple
versions of our applications. This has also resulted in greatly reduced testing
and support requirements due to the common code base."
MAS is located in Irvine, California, and has been supplying software to the
security industry since 1980. Its MASterMind product suite includes modules for
alarm monitoring with video verification, billing and accounts receivables,
service personnel management and order processing, sales and lead tracking,
customer service / relationship management, document imaging, automated voice
processing, and telephony integration. For more information about MAS, please
