Components#

Overview#

The ARGUS Enterprise (AE) platform is a powerful suite of integrated solutions for analyzing and reporting on tenant, property, and portfolio information for the purposes of:

  • Fund and investment management
  • Portfolio and asset management
  • Cash flow projections and valuations
  • Budgeting and forecasting

Client & Application Components#

Client#

The ARGUS client app is a Windows Desktop application central to the ARGUS Enterprise platform. Many operations are performed in memory locally to the client, allowing the offloading of operations from the server until specific actions such as persisting edits to the database, querying for updated data, and other actions are requested.

Excel for ADW#

Excel for ADW1 allows the bulk export and import of data through an Excel addin. This allows easier bulk editing operations for users when working across multiple property assets.

Configuration Utility#

Used to perform upgrades to the database, configure connections, manage the service, and other maintenance and configuration activities.

Server Components#

Application Server#

This service brokers the connections between many clients and the database, allowing easier security management and scalability.

Process Server#

This service allows asynchronously processing larger bulk operations in the background, allowing optimized productivity for users as they can proceed with other work with little impact while the processing for requested tasks is offloaded to this service. With available resources, scaling up additional process servers can be a straight forward process.

ARGUS Data Warehouse (ADW) Database#

Using SQL Server as the database component, ADW Database provides robust storage for all the data and reporting in AE.

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)#

Portfolio level reporting using SSRS.

Optional Components

Optional Components#

Data Service#

This is provided for customers requiring flexibility in import and export of data between ARGUS and customer systems. Interaction is performed programmatically via a web service, and optionally the Custom Data Service Client, provided in some custom service engagements.
