Accessing the System

It's all web based. Each user has a username and password and this is associated with an access profile. The access profile controls what functions the user will enjoy.

For example, a senior management group log-in may take then straight to a graphical dashboard showing overall project performance.

An on-site deployment engineer may only have access to data entry and edit functions for the units at the site where they are based.

A project coordinator may have access to all the information across all sites

A third party ADSL installation contractor may have access to adding the date of ADSL setup and test verification input but nothing more.

The number of parties that can input data elements is unrestricted and can be added to as the project gets defined and develops.

The system is setup on a windows server and this can be web based (running on one of our web servers) or intranet based (one of your web servers) depending upon the most appropriate access strategy.

Access can be made via pda (specially designed interfaces), phone or standard means of connection such at notebooks, desktop. Generally the at-desk technician functions includes testing to make sure a network connection can be established. A connection to i-Track and quick data entry can fulfil such a test function. Hence real-time data can be collected and viewed by all.

For example, in a situation such as a Police deployment project, the Police stations don't have external internet access but they all have intranet access. Hence the system is configured for use on the Police Intranet. In situations where external internet access is readily available, the system is usually setup on an internet web server so that links to other data sources, such as courier air waybill/connote tracking can be integrated.
