The First
|
represents a QI system configuration on a special price, which covers, thanks to its structure, all the activities of the information system user related to management of a dynamic company and it also reduces the costs for purchase and subsequent operation of the information system. |
QI Start Edition
is designated for the organizations to work in the beginning with an advanced system
that consecutively saves a great amount of investment resources.
That is caused by the lack of need to change the information system
in case of its expansion for the organization using the QI Start Edition.
Subsequent expansion of the information system is not restricted;
it depends on the customer's needs.
The customer can not only increase the number of licenses
but also simply add other application functions by selecting requested functionality
from existing functions of QI information system.
The user can control the QI system by means of a standard client, working on Microsoft Windows operating systems, or via a web browser (e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer). The access via the web browser is a part of the QI Start Edition; it is secured by the Internet Connector without need to further develop any special application for a secure access to the data.
Management of contemporary company also requires an up to date information system with integrated tool for fast system modification forced by process changes running inside and outside the company. That's the reason the QI Start Edition itself is designed to do the basic system modifications on a level of changes and creating new screen forms and print reports. These "hot" changes can be performed during run of the system without need to log out clients or restart of application or database server. This considerably reduces costs related to system modification by needs of the organization. If necessary, the QI Builder full-scale development environment can be at any time added to the system for system modification so that it could precisely simulate the organization structure and processes running within this organization.
The QI Start Edition configuration has been designed for operations with the MSDE (Microsoft Data Engine) that is provided as per Microsoft license policy by DC Concept company within QI Start Edition free of charge. As the MSDE is restricted in performance, QI is designed to allow the user, if the MSDE no more fits the needs, to switch to full-scale database system that has no restrictions in performance, the Microsoft SQL Server 2000. With the possibility to use the MSDE the user's investments are saved on implementation of the QI Start Edition for the organization.
