NetLink™

Browser Interface to Excellence Series System

Link Your Business to the World of E-Business

Intrigued by the Internet but aren’t sure if it’s profitable for your business to get "on-line"? Would you be interested in a way you can easily allow your customers, vendors, employees, and other business partners to use Internet technology to see data and submit data to your business in a safeguarded manner?

With Excellence Series' NetLink™, that’s what you get! Excellence Series' NetLink is a revolutionary tool that lets you provide simple and controlled browser-based network access to your company data files. It can be used for Internet, intranet, and extranet applications.

Many businesses today are wrestling with the concept of doing business over the Internet. E-commerce (receiving sales orders) is one application that can make sense in this environment. But the larger concept of E-business has much more potential value to most businesses. For example, if your customers could not only submit orders but could quickly check account balances, check status of orders, submit service requests, review product history, report changes of address, request product literature, and many similar functions in a "self-serve" environment, you could strengthen your relationship with them and lower costs at the same time. And you may give similar options to your suppliers, employees, and others.

Excellence Series' NetLink™ works with existing technology in the Excellence Series to provide a comprehensive e-business solution. You may easily publish any of your business data to authorized users and receive data back from them that is validated before updating your files. You can customize every aspect of your e-business site, and there are many features you can customize yourself without hiring expensive help.

Your Business Gets the Best of Two Worlds:

Since NetLink is tightly integrated with the Excellence Series™ you can get the best of the two computer worlds:

• For high-volume processing of business information you get the power, speed, control, and built-in sophistication of the Excellence Series' mature business applications running on your internal system. Your day-to-day work is not hindered by the limitations of browser-based access.

• You and your partners can use Web browsers to access selected data and send data to be updated using the "stateless" transaction-based mode of intranets and the Internet. You are working with the same data file formats as the standard applications, so your data can be on-line if you wish.
