What PROdb Can Do

Here are some of PROdb's features:

Data Management Features

• Data can be easily imported into separate but related tables, and accessed via web through views that show table data in grid, calendar, or chart format
• Entry forms are designed to "optimize" based on data selection. For example, different forms can be displayed depending on selected data
• Data can be easily searched from views and forms

Security Features

• Security is role-based, so users are granted specific roles and can only view intended content
• Data can be validated during entry, preventing mistakes at input time

Integration and Export Features

• Data views can be exported to Excel, viewed in RSS news readers, or integrated with Word documents
• Automatic backups are performed

Many other features are available as well.

The biggest benefit is that you can be operational in a short period of days to weeks. eSolia handles the complex IT-related work on behalf of customers, from infrastructure management to database and application development.
