Multi-lingual Contact Database

An organisation bringing together people from various countries in Europe, with their own native languages, has a large contact database of people all over the world. This database, in addition to having the usual contact information, also has very detailed information on the interests of the contacts. The database now runs in a DOS environment on a Novel network and is used by a variety of users. The database has screens that appear in the native or chosen language of the user. The client is able to add additional screens in different languages for users speaking new languages as they join the business. Therefore an additional programme was written to enable translators to work through the various screen commands and translate them as appropriate into the new languages. In addition this software was required to communicate with their own preferred word-processor package, it prepares mail-merge files and all associated labelling and record keeping. The software is maintained by remote link over the telephone line without the need for the programmer to visit the client who is based in another European country.

Project Management

To enable the detailed management of projects in a multi-consultant practice, a windows based package using Microsoft Access has been developed which will enable export of information for reports and detailed monitoring of the progress of each project. In addition, the time and billing information retained within this programme allows subsequent analysis of individual projects to inform the proposal and costing process. The windows environment permits very attractive and lively screens with on-screen help to enable the less experienced use the package with maximum benefit.

GMOrgView

This utility for GoldMine permits more access to the Organisational data stored in the program. By enabling the user to view, in a separate window, the assembled activities for the whole organisation, much more insight cam be gained into the work done with an organisation and the role of a particular contact in that. The program is sold on a single site license with full permission to load it on as many machines as have the GoldMine license (network and undocked). It is available in dBase and SQL versions but whichever you buy the license permits use of the other version without additional cost
