8. Target Technology
Discovery: ¡°Application Atomic Model¡°
? Software application particles are elements (e.g.
files, registry, etc), components, features, products and associations between them.
? The same application on different computers is composed of the same particles (almost)
Diagnosis:
? By handling application¡¯s particles and associations according to their properties and
needs, the application can be mapped, reinstalled, mobilized, released, changed, etc.
? An IT solution found for a software application on a particular PC may be automatically
applied to any PC running the same application.
? Relatively small 2-3 TB repository of application particles may hold all possible
(windows) applications as well as dedicated IT solutions to handle those applications.
9. Target Technology

Target has developed a unique technology for automatically discovering particles and
associations of already installed applications or installation packages.
? Application Transformations:
Target has developed a proprietary platform in order to enable the different transformations to
the existing software application map: ( e.g. reinstall, mobilize, change , release) by handling
application program particles and associations according to their properties and needs.
? Application Repository:
Target's platform utilizes 2 central repositories, the Software Components Repository and the IT
Solution Knowledge base. As the usage of the platform increases, both repositories
automatically accumulate new software components and IT solutions, enabling a broad and
constantly growing service offering by Target's platform.
