Previously maintained numerous .xls spreadsheets for data shipped out (transmittals) and data received (receivables).
System was very time consuming as creating suitable reports and having these viewed by other interested parties
was difficult.
Client Solution:
ECS implemented a web based solution connected to a simple Access database. Historical data was smoothly
transferred from the spreadsheets. Now all interested parties can view updated information and reports from
their internal intranet.
Client Problem:
The corporate database contained asset information that was changing on a daily basis. Users need to extract
reports of current quantities and asset states as they move through a defined life cycle. The corporate interface
is slow and requires software to be installed locally to allow access. Creating custom reports involved IT
and third party consultants which was often delayed and expensive.
Client Solution:
A simple interface was provided to allow all users to submit predetermined queries and retrieve results in a
form that was easy to navigate and manage. Quantities could be automatically generated based on these
reports giving users and managers freedom to access up to date information on the business.
- Do you have a need to record activities or data in a logical way?
- Do you resort to putting the information into a form using whatever software you have been provided with?
- Does this lead to problems as requirements change or data content extends beyond what is initially expected?
