EXAMPLE: Legacy Systems Replacement Legacy systems become outdated, but the data
they supply is still critical to the enterprise. This client
had a mainframe application which was difficult to use and being
phased out. A quick, economical solution was developed using
VBA and Microsoft Excel to perform the same complex statistical
reporting.
The application has a simplified
interface for ease of use. (the client expected to need a training
class!)
It also has dozens of sophisticated features to fix corrupt
data, fix mis-named files, and prevent accidental user corruption
of data or statistics.
The Reports for instructors can be
printed individually or en masse.
Summary reports of all instructors and all courses currently
in the database can also be produced.
In addition to managing years of
cumulative statistics and automatically printing reports, the
application allows users to edit the list of departmental courses
used in the reports.
Highly readable finished reports are produced
without further user intervention.
