A. Wincollect CRM is designed to run with Microsoft SQL Server. You can chose to run this On-Premise using the latest version of Microsoft SQL Server or you can have it deployed in Azure SQL and take advantage of a “Server-less” environment. Talk to us further about your requirements and we can help you work out which one will better serve your needs.

A. That is a big question and warrants consideration prior to starting. However there are many resources available to provide you with the information you need to help you decide. If you would like to explore the options for the Cloud we recommend you start by visiting the Azure SQL site to become familiar with the various solutions you can chose from. Once you have done this we can help you work out which one will work best for you. It is important to remember that Azure SQL allows you to start small and grow as your needs increase.

If you are not yet ready for the Cloud and want to stay with an On-Premise option and manage your database server onsite, we recommend you start by visiting the SQL Server site.

A. Yes you can. Your data can be accessed via a variety of third party applications. Some of the more common methods of connecting these products is via ODBC or ADO. Examples of well known products that some of clients currently use include applications such as Excel, Access and Crystal Reports.

A. Yes. Wincollect CRM comes with a host of features you can tailor to your needs and we also offer a comprehensive range of customization services to help you.

A. Yes.  But lets take a close look at some of the facts behind this. Firstly Wincollect is already used by businesses that fit this profile. It is built to run using the Microsoft SQL Server database platform and can also be deployed in the Azure SQL environment. SQL Server is an Enterprise Level technology that powers some of the worlds largest corporations. Wincollect leverages off this technology to enable fast processing of commands and efficient data gathering for reporting purposes. Wincollect provides full access directly to the SQL Database to enable you to create additional tables, indexes, views, stored procedures and other processes to enable you to have total control of your data. The front end of Wincollect makes full use of the power of SQL Server by wrapping the functionality directly within stored procedures executed at the database level. Additionally, agencies can make full use of data warehouses to divert intensive database processing and reporting so that it does not impact your general collections processes. There are also many well designed processes that are all wrapped up in our valuable Intellectual Property. Finally, when you match these capabilities to the right hardware platform, and network structure, your database will grow with ease and perform tirelessly.
