Transfer Facility

The Transfer Facility keeps separate copies of the data (or segments of the data) in sync with each other. Data can be transfered between computers by e-mail, Local Area Network, Wide Area Network (WAN), or floppy disk.

Notebook Computers

It is ideal for managers who need to work away from the office using a notebook computer, and still have access to the data. Data can be viewed passively (i.e. no changes or new data added on the notebook). But the Transfer Facility will also support remote data entry on a notebook, and uploading these to the main computer either via the Local Area Network when you get back to the office, or by sending it via email (valuable if you will be away from the office for several days).

Remote Branch Offices

The Transfer Facility works very well where branch offices need to operate independently, but transfer data to the Head Office for monitoring and consolidated reporting. It also works well in situations where specialist expertise in one branch is shared around several branches (i.e. specialists work on jobs/projects that are managed by other branches, and need to forward timesheet information to the respective office for work done on their projects).
