Your employees don't have to wait for hours to retrieve the data and reports, no matter how heavy they are.<br />3rd Party Integration: Facility to integrate external modules developed on VB / VC++ platform, thereby reducing complete dependency on FOCUS in order to accomplish future requirements. Client can take up the task of adding new customized modules of their choice to the FOCUS menu. Necessary training will be imparted to the technical team to enhance their capability to develop the required sub modules as per their business needs. Provision of this tool therefore means transferring of ownership in total.<br />Triggers / Alerts: Facility to design and implant customized triggers and alerts using Focus API’s<br />Locking & Unlocking of Database: Facility provided for the super user of the application to enforce locking of the database, which would restrict users to post data during the locking period.<br />Training & Support: Focus believes in maintaining exceptional levels of service and support for its clients, is the key to success in the Service Oriented age.

System provides built-in reports, with the ability to print the reports on all kinds of available printers, without the user intervention. <br />The solution also provides all kind of messaging and tracking systems.<br />The solution features an-online edit checking and historical data retention.<br />The system also features an Online help throughout with comprehensive user documentation.<br />The solution is flexible with user definable menus by department or user. <br />All the above features are collectively operative using equipment with standard resources as currently offered by vendors and available in the market, like PCs: RAM, Hard Disk drives, etc.<br />Easy to operate <br />User friendly interfaces <br />The proposed solution is a state-of-the-art system, built with cutting edge technologies and designed elegantly to comply with all the IT standards.<br />Hardware Requirements:To run Focus application, clients need to worry less about hardware and its upgrades. There are several references of being successful to implement and go live with existing hardware resources of a client thereby giving a leverage on hardware cost which otherwise would increase the total cost of the project. <br />Back Up: The proposed application shall provide the user to take appropriate backups of the database. The backup may be taken in incremental form or full backup. The scheduling of backup can also be done whereby the system prepares the backup on the recommended backup media. In case of unwanted loss of data or application, the backups can simply restore the system to its previous state.<br />Multi Location Connectivity: The diagram below shows the typical setup of the ERP at various locations. The system will first be implemented at the Head Office. In subsequent phases the client component will be installed at the other locations.<br />Macros in Excel, Word, Presentation: Macros can be written in Excel or any MS Office product to pull data from Focus RT online or update data into Focus RT online. This will help accountants write excel sheets or design presentations that pick data from Focus RT directly. The macros can be used even in HTML pages or Acrobat PDF documents.<br />Internet Based Merging: It is possible in Focus RT to be running on different locations and data be merged on to the server online or offline on an automated basis. This feature is excellent solution for companies that have multiple branches or shops and the data should be collected at the head-office. This feature works even with ordinary dialup internet connection. The data consolidated at the head-office can even be propagated back to the branches selectively or as summary of balances.<br />XML based data exchange: Focus RT has an XML based data exchange format. Focus RT can write to and read data in XML. When an Invoice is saved, Focus RT can optionally email a small XML file to the customer. If the customer is a Focus RT user, he can click on that file and it would raise a purchase for the customer who also uses Focus RT. The same can be used when material is dispatched from warehouse to branches. An XML file can be emailed which would raise the corresponding stock transfer voucher at the branch.<br />Remote Connectivity: RT has option to have a central server with clients connecting to the central server (data base) on the LAN or WAN by using internet or direct line (ISDN, Leased Line, Ordinary Telephone line etc) connectivity. The technology used to enable remote connectivity is the latest SOCKS TECHNOLOGY version 5.<br />SOCKS Technology: SOCKSv5 is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) approved standard (RFC 1928) generic, proxy protocol for TCP/IP-based networking applications. The SOCKS protocol provides a flexible framework for developing secure communications by easily integrating other security technologies.<br />SOCKS includes two components, the SOCKS server and the SOCKS client. The SOCKS server is implemented at the application layer, while the SOCKS client is implemented between the application and transport layers. The basic purpose of the protocol is to enable hosts on one side of a SOCKS server to gain access to hosts on the other side of a SOCKS Server, without requiring direct IP-reach ability<br />To know more about our Time and attendance Software, email us or call us on +91 44 4394 6666.sales@pftec.com www.pftec.com<br />Author: T.Muthukumar<br />
