Architecture

• All of our new EQWin suite of integrated environmental software products are fully scalable, Windows-based and database independent.
• Our multi-tiered, client/server architecture facilitates efficient multi-user access across both local and global (LAN/WAN) networks, allowing for both local and/or centralized database administration.
• EQWin is designed for use on Microsoft NT Servers running Microsoft Internet Information Server™(IIS) on a TCP/IP network.
• We utilize XML extensively for internal data transfer.
• Our use of COM technology facilitates customized VBA™ development.
• Our customers can deploy EQWin Data Manager as a stand-alone desktop tool or deploy it across their local-area network (LAN), global/corporate wide-area (WAN) network, or the Internet, depending upon their individual need.

Database support

• Microsoft's JET database engine (commonly known as Access) for desktop use
• Microsoft's SQL Server for enterprise-level data security, integrity, auditability, sharing and scalability.
• Support for Oracle and other popular SQL database management systems is currently being developed.

Microsoft Excel integration

• EQWin Data Manager is the only data management software currently available to be dynamically integrated with Microsoft Excel (Dynamic Connectivity), due to their use of COM technology. This enables the exclusive use of Excel as EQWin Data Manager's default input and output tool.
• EQWin Data Manager is intuitive and easy to use for all environmental engineers, and allows such users to operate in a familiar spreadsheet environment for all of their data import, validation, interpretation, analysis and reporting.
• Note that competing software systems still use Static Connectivity (export) as the sole means outputting data to spreadsheet or other third party applications. This static export system does not detect any changes made to the database, and therefore does not automatically reflect them in report updates.
