DATA VANTAGE

Computers and Electronics > Software

In the late 1970s, George Lang invented a new product for the mainframe: the first-ever application development testing and data management software tool, DataVantage® for IMS. While supporting a group of 40+ programmers who were moving through the complexities of developing a worldwide IMS application, George developed this time-saving tool which facilitated the automatic creation of an IMS catalogue, data editing in IMS databases, sub-setting large databases, as well as the ability to create queries and review “before and after” comparisons of changed data in either batch or online environments — all of which was revolutionary during that period.
