Entity Development's Business Application is a Multi-user PC Software Package for Small Companies but will scale up to 100's of Users if required. It integrates the Sales, Service, Human Resources and Accounting Functions with Email, Fax and Telephone Functions. Business is written in Microsoft Access (and the code can be made available for people to alter if they wish).
It is packed with ideas and functionality and costs only £25 per user per year.
Business has been developed and tested over four years. Entity Development is run on it and we would be completely lost without it. Please visit the Entity Development Web Site to see other work samples.
Business comes compressed on one CD (17Mbytes). On it you will find 6 User Guides and installation instructions. It comes with the Microsoft access (Run Time files so you do not need to install Microsoft Access) or
Microsoft Office Professional. However, to use the Source Code and Mail Functions you will need Microsoft Office 97 Professional (or Microsoft Access 97) and purchase an additional Licence from Entity Development for the Source Code.
