Anderson Financial Systems Inc. Advances to Finalist Round in 1993
Computerworld Object Application Awards Program
PHILADELPHIA, May 19, 1993 -- Anderson Financial Systems Inc. (AFS), a
Philadelphia-based vendor of Wall Street trading applications, has been named
a finalist in the Object Management Group's "1993 Computerworld Object
Application Awards Contest."
The contest, co-sponsored by Computerworld magazine and the Object Management
Group, is designed to salute organizations and developers who have
successfully implemented object technology in their operations.
AFS submitted a case study of its afs:TRADE(tm) Trading Management System, a
NEXTSTEP-based custom application designed for the First National Bank of
Chicago to manage commercial paper trading and underwriting operations. The
system provides on-line, real-time access to information needed by traders and
salespeople throughout the day.
The afs:TRADE application was entered in the category "best application
utilizing reusable components leveraged from or for use in other projects."
"This is a positive statement about the possibilities of 'ObjectWare'," said
Gregory H. Anderson, president of AFS. "Our company has experienced all of the
benefits claimed for object-oriented programming: dramatically fewer lines of
code, high rates of code reuse, rational source code organization, reduced
maintenance, and faster training. After ten years of struggling with
traditional programming methods, we have discovered that there is a better way
to build custom applications."
Grand prize winners in five categories will be announced at a special
ObjectWorld Expo awards banquet on June 16 at the Moscone Center in San
Franscisco. Steve Jobs, CEO and Chairman of NeXT Computer, will be the master
of ceremonies. Mr. Anderson will also participate in a panel discussion about
"Economic Benefits of Object Technology Programming" on June 15, where he will
highlight the benefits of AFS's object-oriented development experience.
