Data Entry Systems
-
I work for a company where I have rolled our own DES and it has been a successful system for many years. Now we are evaluating whether to build new, retrofit, or purchase something. I am trying to review software but am only finding stuff intended to provide mechanisms to enter fairly simple data, small amounts of data, or surveys. Do you all know of companies that offer software that is truly customizable and intended to allow for hundreds/thousands of complex data edits? I just need help finding the companies that offer those types of systems instead of these data entry creation systems that are intended to allow for name and phone number type entry.

Sounds like you just need to bang together a gui app in Delphi, or visual whatever. All of those tools make that exact type of operation pretty easy. Drag a bunch of controls, get the tab order right, hook them to a data source and add whatever validation on the 'lose focus' operation.

It's called C#, it's fairly configurable. If you use the ASP.NET module it can be web based as well. A common configuration option is the SQL Server persistence module :)
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost "All users always want Excel" --Ennis Lynch

I haven't seen anything that can handle the real-life complexities gracefully, which is why I've rolled my own in the past as well, and why I've seen others roll their own as well in other platforms. Marc

That's what I figured. I already wrote my own and we were just evaluating whether there are systems that are already out there that can be configured to do what we want. I didn't have high hopes. :) To answer the other 2 questions, I already wrote my own so don't have a problem with that.

Well, why don't you quickly whip together a website and show it to management "Oooh, I recommend THIS product", and sell it to them all over again? :laugh: Marc

There's an idea. I don't post much on here anymore so is it strange that you provided the quote in my signature?

Haha. Sadly, I didn't even notice (the font is so tiny). Then again, I'm on here every day, and I'm also seeing if anyone notices my sig and my latest article link. ;) and votes on the article!!! Marc

Adopt our data service :-O , which allows batch input as a UI product and also allows custom built input front end system as a service. See here[^]. And here[^] is a more real life example built for StackExchange data dump (it's read only, however).
