The TQT cross-platform, network information management system features a high-performance client-server architecture. The TQT Server Platform combines low cost hardware, robust Windows NT operating system, the unique ACI 4D Application Embeddable Database Server, iSystems Enterframe Intelligent Object Server, and the TQT Total Quality Management Application.

There are two types of TQT Client Platforms with different levels of functionality. The Integral Clients users are involved in sales, administration, accounting, management, reporting, strategic processes, such as pricing, inventory management and order entry. Web Clients users access TQT using a web browser, to follow production schedules, track individual processes, access web based reports, etc.

Integral Clients run on either Macintosh or Windows machines and require 4D Client and a 4D Write licenses. Web Clients require only a web browser application and therefore run on any machine that can run Internet Explorer, Netscape, or any modern web browser (Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, etc.).
