"Demonstrations of the software applications at the ASP World Conference and Expo last week were met with wide acceptance," said Ginger Lau, Marketing Manager of StreamingAsia. SalesNet 2001 is a versatile and easy to use sales management software tailored to meet the needs of sales and marketing executives at small to medium sized companies. The software can be operated in the client/server mode or installed in the workstations of end users. SalesNet 2001 can keep account and customer contact information in a corporate database that can be shared by different management levels while eliminating data loss. Management executives and sales staff can track the progress and projected sales of each transaction anytime, anywhere. The software can also provide instant sales forecasting for better sales planning and management. SalesNet 2001 can facilitate more efficient information flow as well as time saving steps not available from conventional forecasting reports. To further expand the capabilities of the software, SalesNet 2001 will also support WAP and PDA access to enhance mobile data retrieval and provide further convenience for clients who travel frequently or work outside of the office. All information stored in SalesNet 2001 can be secured based on the needs of clients. Role level security is also available to protect the integrity of the information by eliminating leakage to other internal or external sales units. TimeKeeper 2001 is an Internet/ Intranet based Human Resources Management and project cost control software suitable for companies with a large workforce. TimeKeeper 2001 can store employee records including attendance, sick leave and annual leave. Clients can keep track of these records through a web browser anytime, anywhere. Employees can also easily check their annual leave balances from the web, thus reducing the administrative effort of the HR department and operations team. Clients can also compute the manpower cost of each project and productivity of employees based on the information from TimeKeeper 2001. With TimeKeeper 2001, clients can allocate their human resources more effectively and conduct instant cost forecasting and planning to enhance the productivity and profitability of their companies.
