Hello All,

I would like to get some input from you.

There is a third party app for managing and viewing Optim archive files and they are looking for ideas on features and functionality that would be helpful.  It works directly against the archive files without ever needing Optim. It can view the data, export data and there is even an ad-hoc query tool. Just drop the app on a computer with access to the archive files, run the app and select the archive file.  The data is instantly available.  It also has the potential to provide a replacement for the retired ODM component if that is a direction they should go. Would an ODM replacement be useful? What other features might be helpful for the Optim users?

Runs on Windows, Linux and Mac. Some screen shots provided below. Let me know what you think.

Hi Tammy,

Is this something different than Optim Archive Viewer that was developed by Estuate? If so, who is the vendor? 

Thanks for the details.
