Information

Line of Site Designs has tremendous experience in getting the data that you need no matter where it resides or on what platform it is maintained. The recent major trends of systems modernization and transition to net-enabled technologies, together with extensive M&A activities in IT organizations, present a growing need for data integration technologies. IT organizations are required to provide greater data mobility for various purposes such as data warehousing, system migrations, data consolidations, inter-company data integration, and implementation of new application systems.

Line of Site Designs can represent your data, services or products on the web in a clear, concise and accurate manner. We have full access to excellent media development expertise, copywriters, database analysts and web programming consultants. The sky is truly the limit!

Developing custom applications/modules to interact with and extend the functionality with proprietary software systems is one of Line of Site Designs specialties that enables you to get the data you need for your clients or users without the expensive proposition of having to purchase additional modules or licenses from your software retailer.

For example you have 300 customers within your Accpac system that need to be billed a common invoice i.e. 2 Widgets @ 10 per unit. Unfortunately with Accpac you must create 300 separate invoices which waste time and resources. This is where we could come in and integrate a custom app within a day and have it so you generate these invoices automatically allowing resources to be freed and used elsewhere! Basically if it is done on a computer we can automate part or all of the process.

    Applications

    Application Conversions
    Line of Site Designs understands that because methods become obsolete it doesn’t have to mean that your applications you use are obsolete as well. The logic is there and its been proven for perhaps many years, but we have often found organizations running software systems that could be greatly enhanced, making it more user-friendly and able to save many hours of manual, usually tedious, effort. Often users and their managers are unaware of how much more efficiently processes can be implemented both on a day-to-day basis and in terms of a collective effort. Let us help your company realize its full potential by providing a no hassle overview of your current systems.

    PDA Development (Palm/Windows CE)
    PDA devices can be programmed to run just about any application (or multiple applications) from the most basic to the very complex. Long, extensive and complex forms can be designed and programmed to allow rapid data entry, with logic and data validations. Even PDA devices with minimum standard memory can store and retrieve thousands of items in lists and store hundreds, if not, thousands of records. Simple graphics and signature captures can be stored for future uploads. Chances are, the process of filling out any paper form in the field could be greatly enhanced, both in speed and reliability, by using PDA devices. PDA devices can create efficiencies in business by allowing the rapid and seamless transfer of captured data from the handheld to the corporate database system. This means the inefficiencies and errors of manual data entry are removed.

    Sharepoint

    Windows SharePoint Services allows teams to create Web sites for information sharing and document collaboration, benefits that help increase individual and team productivity. Windows SharePoint Services is a component of the Windows Server 2003 information worker infrastructure and provides team services and sites to Microsoft Office System and other desktop programs. It also serves as a platform for application development. Including such IT resources as portals, team workspaces, e-mail, presence awareness, and Web-based conferencing, Windows SharePoint Services enables users to locate distributed information quickly and efficiently, as well as connect to and work with others more productively.

    Windows SharePoint Services provides the following advantages to the individuals and teams who use it:

    • Better Discoverability

    Finding and accessing information across a distributed workplace is a major challenge for which Windows SharePoint Services offers an effective solution. By providing users with a single Web-based team environment and built-in search capabilities, Windows SharePoint Services helps users to find information more effectively than with traditional file shares.

    • Better Communication

    With the built-in alert capabilities of Windows SharePoint Services, users can be notified when changes are made to shared information. Microsoft Office Live Communication Server provides users with the means to communicate instantly, whether by video or audio, and Microsoft Office Live meeting enables users to communicate and collaborate with anyone.

    • Better Team Processes

    The process of document creation and review is made simpler and more effective with built-in document versioning plus check-in and check-out capabilities. Additionally, using Windows Rights Management Services, authors can determine how their documents are distributed and used by others.

    • Better User Experience

    By integrating Web-based team collaboration services into everyday tools such as Microsoft Office, users can quickly and effectively adopt new collaboration tools and services. And by providing Web-browser access, Windows SharePoint Services makes it easy for users to access team information through a single site on demand.
