Key Benefits

 

Controller perspective

End-User perspective

Technical Staff perspective

  • Proven "look and feel" Development Environment to minimize time and reduce costs

  • Common routines are already available for Menus, Lookup Tables, etc. - you don't pay for their development

  • Accurate estimates

  • On time, within budget - ask my references

  • Looks and works just like other standard Windows programs, particularly Windows Explorer and Microsoft Outlook.

  • Common look and feel for all windows - simplifies training

  • Rapid Application Prototyping lets you see results quickly

  • Each workstation has expert/novice mode ( Add, Change and Delete confirmation is on or off via the registry)

  • We can write our own reports using end-user tools like Crystal Reports!

  • Applications are n-tier Client/Server Architecture via Custom ActiveX Controls (ocx) - shared database - local data is imported to the workstation where required

  • Very modular and uses predefined common routines - simplifies technical handover and in-house maintenance

  • Uses Active Data Objects (ADO) to simplify upsizing to full Visual Basic application, SQL/Server and Web Updates/Reporting if required

  • SQL/Server stored procedures used wherever possible

  • Web Updates/Reporting if required with minimal front-end coding. The custom ocx's do all of the work and are usable in an Active Server Page (ASP) environment

  • Libraries of proven, tested code available for re-use (data access code, imports, exports, etc.)
