RED PLANET SOFTWARE
Global Leadership and Success
Our story began back in 1989 when an insurance broker in Brisbane, Australia asked us to develop software to handle Premium Financing.
After getting an answer to our first question, “What is Premium Financing” we decided we could enhance our current debtors and creditors modules to provide a solution for this broker. Our first ever Loan Enquiry screen looked like the image displayed here.
It was written in the COBOL programming language and ran on Unix operating systems. Those of us old enough will remember the user of Function keys – mice weren’t around then!
We weren’t immune to the issue confronting most software in the world, the year 2000 bug. Combine this with the need to move to a windows based architecture, we rewrote our package and the resultant Loan Enquiry screen looked like the image provided.
This version ran on Windows servers and we were responding to the invention of the mouse by adding LOTS of buttons.
Ten years later (in 2009) it was time for another re-write, this time to be browser based. Incorporating the learnings from the previous 20 years, we changed from programming in COBOL to Microsoft .Net/C# and moved to a SQL database.
Loan Enquiry version 3 looked like the image you see here.
A few less buttons and lots more tabs!
Following the tradition of the past 30 years, in 2019 we are redeveloping again. This redevelopment uses the Angular programming language (while keeping the SQL server backend).
Our latest Loan Enquiry screen are fresh, innovative and easy to use.
Being believers in the Japanese word “Kaizen” (i.e. continuously making small improvements), we don’t let one business day go by without an enhancement to further improve our software. We are proud of what we are able to offer to the market.
We hope you will join us on our “Odyssey” and look forward to continuing to deliver our technology and learnings for decades to come.
