Rapidly growing information technologies provide brand new opporttunities for contacts and accounts. The calculation rate and the data storage capacity are increasing, and reaching distant data is becoming easier. The use of peripheral devices bring about new application fields. Besides, the number of people that have good knowledge of general purpose applications like Excel and Access is increasing rapidly. Therefore, lots of limited purpose applications intended to meet a certain need of the account are developed. No matter how appealing it may seem, this situation, results in the chaotic consequences that are stated below:
As technology develops and new needs arise, independent software are either developed or purchased. These software;
- Usually work independently
- Cannot exchange information with each other
- Cannot benefit from each other’s outcome
- Support is taken from seperate firms for each of these software
- Different managemnent and security mechanisms are used for each of these software
Both the software and, if available, the hardware that is used with the software, become useless in the event of the following situations:
- The employee that has purchased or that was using the software quits his job.
- The firm that has developed the software is shut down, or changed his workfield, and thus cannot give support.
Employees use tools like Excel to develop new applications, as they allow fast software development. They even use Excel as a data storage tool. This situation causes trouble if these employees quit their job, or even take leave of absence.
Organizations which are managed with multiple software, each of which is developed only for a certain subject, don’t have the convenience of monitoring all operations from a single console, and thus the managers are hindered from making quick decisions.
Campus focuses on the points below that would work with ERP software which are often used in organizations;
- Customer Relationship Management
- Time Management
- Business Process Management
- Web Content and Traffic Management
- Document Management
- Activity Based Costing
- Messaging Management
Advantages of Campus
Campus enables all subsystems to be used with the same user interface.
- It eliminates the inconvenience of opening and closing different programs as the applications change, and the need to learn how to use a different program for each application.
- It provides that all management, control, and authorization processes of all subsystems are performed from a single center.
- It eliminates the need to consult with different suppliers for subsystems.
Campus gathers the collected information on the same database, thus eliminating the trouble of data transfer and data back-up. It also enables pieces of information to be associated with each other and enables easy access to associated files from the same interface.
It can manage the data of multiple accounts, that are located in different buildings, simultaneously, under the same roof.
It enables the existing peripheral devices to be protected and the system to be developed with new peripheral devices.
As the time passes by, hardware that are more advanced than the currently used hardware are put on market by other producers. Since the additional investments and the newly developed supplementary hardware to be purchased are not compatible with the existing hardware and software, users are forced to either make an additional investment to the old-fashioned system, or make an entirely new investment. Campus eradicates this dilemma.
Today, peripheral devices can be easily connected to computers by means of the plug-in and run method. However, almost all devices come with their own software. Therefore, users usually have to choose between using good software + bad hardware, or bad software + good hardware.
Campus presents an effective solution to this dilemma.
- It keeps log of transactions.
- It enables to do the authorization dynamically.
- It enables to perform detailed analyses, and to present analysis results as Excel or .pdf document.
The parts of Campus can work interactively as a whole as well as they can be used seperately.
Campus possesses the following features when licensed accordingly:
- User rights can be defined seperately on each form, as well as they can be defined on record or field base
- User transaction logs can be monitored.
- It can work as a desktop application or a web application designed according to user needs.
- Strong reporting tools provide quick access to the required reports.
- Strong filtering tools provide quick filtering of information.
- Users can define their own tables.
- The transactions of more than one account can be monitored at the same time.
- From all points, all other related forms can be accessed with one click.
- It can can do online information exchange with the commercial software that are being used in the background.
