FunnelVision
Us In Your Box

We can provide you the ability to repackage funnelvision into your product scheme, providing users with a custom loaded version stamped with your Identifying marks, and pre-loaded with your corporate data.

 
   
Visual C++

Long considered the Nuts and Bolts language, C++, can help interfacing to an unlimited number of facilities built into the operating system, as well as those hard to manage connections with external hardware, and interface modules, C++ gives the programmer all of the low level access tools required to get into nearly any product back end for customization.

   
     

The 11th Hour staff bares all.
 
     
Visual Basic

Interfaces, Interfaces, Interfaces, VB is a rapid development tool, that gives the user power to design programs interactively and eventually compile it to an EXE file for distribution to users

 
     

 
     
Visual Foxpro

This data centric language is just the ticket for projects that need to connect to and manage multiple data sources, and interface requirements. This language can be used to update older systems written in clipper and other languages where DOS operability and stand alone operation and distribution are required.

   
     
   
     
Custom Data Conversion

So You've got data in some old format, and you thought it was lost for ever. Using state of the art tools, we can convert data and integrate or update legacy systems so that they can seamlessly connect to your current data.

 
     
Roll Your Own

If your thinking of developing an information system from the ground up, there's, probably a better way. You can develop an app from the ground up but you need to be extremely careful, and need quite a bit of time as The decision whether to go in house or External when developing software technology is a critical one.

   
     
   
     
Access

Access is an end user tool designed to allow non-programmers put together database systems with a minimum of start-up time and knowledge

   
     
   
     
Microsoft Word

Word has long been the users choice for document editing. Word's powers can be extended programmatically to interface to other stand alone systems, or, to allow documents to include information not typically available at the document level. This embedding of data, directly into a word document, can be tailored to meet any data management scheme.

   
     
   
     
Microsoft Excel

Most people use excel in a stand alone environment, to manage rows and columns of data. Typically Excel is reserved for tasks that need to be customizable at the user level. The trade off is security and data integrity. When used programmatically as a part of a bigger picture, excel, functionality can be extended to integrate into a more cohesive data management system.

   
     
   
     
Oracle

One of the few industrial strength database systems for the PC environment, as a DBMS, oracle cannot be touched. Its weaknesses actually lye in its in-ability to communicate with the PC hardware as well as it could. Many of the above systems have the ability to seamlessly integrate oracle data, with front ends, written in the above languages.

   
     
Web Enabling

Simply a way of wrapping it all together, and providing web access to data and programs that traditionally the user needed to be at there PC in order to run.

   
     
Java

Java, and all of it's related scripting tools, is used to allow web pages to bring together modules that have been linked together to enable a web site to fully leverage features between modules and the main HTML page itself

   
     
Control Development

Web Sites, and pages for that matter, have limited power, with respect to the users machine. When we desire a web page with more productivity and power we create modules in one of the above programming languages. These module become the pellet of functionality, that access our internal databases, controls hardware, and or dazzles the user with software that runs directly within the web page

   
     
Custom Project Docket

The following is a breakdown of the kinds of projects that can be produced. Each system carefully chooses a development platform (or platforms) and implements logic using the power of the selected language.

   
     
How To Seminar

University How to with Licensed Copies for all attendees. How do you put together a large scale system from the ground up ?. Using the FunnelVision system as a Case study determines how to put together a system that meets any need and balances that need against givens, and limits of technology and machine capabilities.
