Converting three Paradox for DOS based order entry systems to
three Web order entry systems.
The Customers
Data Clean Corporation
specializes in cleaning controlled environments such as data centers, cleanrooms, computer rooms, networking facilities, and switching
centers.
Torstenson Glass Company is
a flat glass and mirror distributor and fabricator.
Mair Hill and Associates, Inc.
is a manufacturer's rep firm specializing in specialty gifts.
Their representatives sell at the wholesale level to thousands
of customers.
The Problem
Each of these three companies had Paradox for DOS order entry
systems. They needed to update their systems, but also allow them to
be accessible for their representatives or people working from
home. These companies needed a solution within their budget and
time frame. They needed it to be user-friendly. They also needed
to move the Paradox data to the new system. Most importantly they
needed people who would listen to their concerns about the new
system and address them.
The SSI Solution
SSI Software Engineers talked with the companies and together
decided that a web ASP application would be most appropriate.
SSI's engineers spent time learning each companies current system
and database layout. The existing Paradox databases were converted
to SQL Server and data was normalized where appropriate. Throughout
the testing process SSI's engineers worked with people from Data
Clean Corporation, Torstenson Glass Company and Mair Hill and
Associates to receive their suggestions and then incorporate those
into the application. The result is three user-friendly web-based
order entry systems that include the functionality of their familiar
Paradox systems, as well as new features such as data validation
and error checking. The new web-based order entry systems allow
users to find orders and other information very quickly and ensure
that information being entered falls within the constraints defined.
The customers are very happy with the type of service they received
from SSI and they continue to come back whenever the need emerges.
