capture for conference delegates. Previously, the most sophisticated
systems use a PDA to capture notes that delegates would write
during the conference. This system which uses a wireless network
and Tablet computers allows delegates to do much more. Not only
can they send messages, but messages can be received back from
the conference administrator. They can also answer questionnaires
that have been set with the results automatically analysed and
charted. Powerpoint presentations can also be viewed as well

| Coors Brewers Bar Analyser complete |
February 2004 |
 Development
of the Bar Analyser is now complete. The system which was developed
in Microsoft Excel allows the salesperson to assess the current
profitability of a bar. Products, prices and volumes are added
and profitability is then charted by Category, Brand and Font.
The resultant charts are then output using Office automation
to a Powerpoint presentation for the customer. The system seamlessly
extracts data from a local Access database containing product
information to make the system easier to use by the salesforce
and is likely to make a big impact. |
