    Joint Ventures from The Dev Team One of the downfalls of working in IT is that everybody and his dog has an idea of how they're going to make a fortune with the Internet. They usually have no money to invest but they do know somebody in the industry who might listen. Sometimes they do listen....

The continuing evolution of the internet creates many business opportunities needing specialist IT skills.

That's where we fit in. We are a highly skilled collective who are more than a match for most blue chip companies internal IT departments.

We're here to make IT and the Internet work for you.

Customer Relations Manager 2003

If you are using Outlook and Microsoft Exchange to manage your contacts and emails, there are fantastic facilities available that most businesses barely touch.
In a recent project we needed to provide 14 consultants that work all over the country, with the facility to access and update a shared contact database form their own laptops. We did this by creating customised contact forms within Outlook that efficiently synchronise with the Exchange server at head office. The system depends on the Exchange server being available via a VPN (Virtual Private Network) but the normal process of running Outlook with an .ost file for backup means that the contacts can be updated off line and then synchronised with the Exchange server when available.
A very neat solution that ensures that everybody can add and amend new contacts without having to go through cumbersome administrative procedures.

Note: If you want to be able to synchronise the ‘Views’ in order to run pre-determined mail merge routines, then the computer must be running version 2002 of Outlook.

Have you outgrown your Access database?

There is a simple rule of thumb that says that if you have a large records set and/or more than half a dozen concurrent users on an Access database, then you might benefit from a move to Microsoft SQL Server. At above these levels you are likely to find that Access becomes slow to respond and occasionally locks up whole pages of records that are being used by other users.
