Star-Net is a mission-critical system used by MOL Liner for complete
automation of the business process. The system consists of hundreds of user interface
forms and reports grouped into logical applications addressing specific business
functions. 
Star-Net utilizes Oracle 10g for the core system and Java for
the system menu. It is highly standardized and employs an intricate security framework
to provide users with a flexible yet secure computing environment. The database
and the user interface are hosted on a Unix server and the users access Star-Net
using a MS Windows based CITRIX farm. The business processes handled by Star-Net
