Major Corporates

A typical assignment might consist of a company running, say an Asset Package such as Peregrine or a Telco Package for telephone billing or any SQL Server Database from say Oracle or Microsoft.

 

The packaged reporting is usually limited and rudimentary and may or may not be using Crystal Reports.

 

Finance has requested much more detailed and specific reports to be run on a regular basis which involved considerable research, end-user interview time, specifications and finally coding and testing. The work would be split off-site and on-site and for off-site development access to the database would be needed via VPN. (Virtual Private Network). A non-disclosure agreement can be signed for sensitive data if needed.

 

 

sme's

Quite often a company may have installed new software such as an order entry system linked to an accounting package such as Sage and there is no provision for customised commission reports or sales figures. This can be adequately handled by installing a Crystal Reports sub system linked to the existing database.
