I'm not one to promote a product normally, I have no vested interest in this system whatsoever.
I can say the EMAT presentation and particularly the in depth Q&A session that followed impressed both myself, and the engineer (ex database programmer) that attended.
I think what was most apparent was the progress of development in line with modern/changing requirements.
I am not aware of any other system that incorporates specific modules or *really good* functionality for CNST/SFBH user training or a library module with functionality to this level.
To see what has progressed, improved and added to their system over the past 2-3 years really does put shame on the systems that were developed 5 years ago. I am a firm believer in continual improvement and modernisation.
Full web access, form/letter/mail merge for reports etc all added to the functionality.
I did discuss with Paul some other suggested areas for development within the main program such as scripting or macro commands, but essentially these are just the big frills on a very nice cake.
I think what inspired additionl confidence in the product was the ability to use access / crystal reports to use the same paperwork systems we already use, or hack additional functionality if needed out of an already existing full package.
Just need that pricing guide now Paul if you are looking to make sure we wont have to remortgage the department to get it :p
