- Product: WinBBS
-
- Description:
-
- WinBBS is Windows-based, client/server software for online
- applications. Developers can rapidly develop their own
- add-on applications with WinBBS. Painlessly access your
- existing ODBC compliant databases online.
-
- WinBBS is designed for small and medium-sized businesses
- who are looking for an easy way to put their businesses
- online. WinBBS is easy for employees and customers to
- use and easy for businesses to operate. It is also
- well-suited for departments of large companies who
- cannot get timely internal systems resources to provide
- online solutions to their communications and marketing
- needs.
-
- Steve Martyn, a TechMate partner, said, "WinBBS is an
- ideal tool for businesses to communicate with customers,
- franchisees, distributors, wholesalers, suppliers and
- employees. Novice computer users can use WinBBS. If they
- can use Windows(tm) at all, they can use WinBBS. It's as
- simple as that."
-
- "It's flexible and can be customized through add-on
- modules or custom development to meet whatever needs
- arise. It's "plug and play" design allows it to be
- changed quickly to help businesses keep their edge in a
- fast-moving marketplace."
-
- "WinBBS is used to increase customer bases and
- retention, make internal and external communication more
- efficient and reduce marketing, customer service and
- administration costs. Our customers keep coming up with
- new ways to use it."
-
- WinBBS is Microsoft Windows-based client/server software
- for communicating online. It comes with E-mail and an
- intuitive Document Database which lets users quickly
- find, update and share documents and graphics.
-
- TechMate offers a "lite" version of WinBBS for FREE!
- WinBBS Lite can be downloaded for free and is all many
- businesses will ever need. It has all the features of
- WinBBS except add-on applications cannot be used with
- it.
-
- WinBBS also provides developers with a simple and
- easy-to-use client/server platform to develop online
- Windows database applications with any Windows
- development tool (VB, Delphi, etc.). With WinBBS,
- developers can concentrate on business functions and not
- worry about the online client/server infrastructure. And
- they can use WinBBS to access any ODBC compliant
- databases like Access, Paradox, dBASE, MS FoxPro, MS
- SQL, etc.
-
- Developers can download a fully functional WinBBS
- Evaluation Server and Developer's Kit to try before they
- buy.
