Marketing
and Telesales Database
This
project involved designing a database for
Results Global Marketing that was capable of being updated at a
number of sites and then synchronising regularly between them.
This
meant that a worker could be based at home with their own computer. They would regularly
connect to the office via a VPN connection made through their internet
connection and synchronise with a master database.
The
advantage of this method is that there was no need for a 'live' connection to
the office. The internet connection could be anything from a dial-up modem to an
ADSL connection. The synchronisation procedure typically took about 5 minutes
once a day to keep up to date. All work entered on the database by the home
worker was sent to the office and all work entered at the office, or by other
home workers was sent the other way.
