Replication Technology

Replication technology allows an organization’s remote sites to use data on a local server while the head office (situated elsewhere) can access the same data simultaneously via its server.
 
This capability provides remote sites with instantaneous response time and ensures that the sites continue to have access to the software when interruptions in communication occur between remote sites and the head office.

On the other hand, replication permits buyers at head office to work on purchase orders created by users at remote sites and even enables employees at head office and remote sites to share tasks related to the same purchase order.

MS-SQL® Database

We work with a Microsoft SQL database because it is now just as efficient, heavy-duty and reliable as previous databases. The newest versions, including SQL 2005, are also ahead of other data management systems and you benefit because we offer you more options and opportunities for your solution. The price is more accessible than other databases, which makes implementation easier, respects budgets and allows you to acquire additional licences. The open structure of this database enables the retrieval of information for transfer between systems, where necessary.

Microsoft Visual studio.NET® Development Tools

Cogep has chosen Microsoft technologies because they are easier to use and for the large number of well-documented help resources available. We can offer you improvements faster and remain light years ahead of other asset management software.

XML Data Exchange Protocol to Create Reports and Forms

XML allows maximum freedom for data exchange and we would like to offer our customers all of the options they need to manage assets.

WEB Interfaces

The Internet is playing an ever-expanding role in businesses. There are, however, areas in which use of the Internet is undesirable, at least, not entirely.

As it currently stands, all of the functionalities of the customer-server version of complex powerful software like Guide Ti cannot be simply and effectively integrated to Internet technology.

instead, Cogep has decided to integrate Web-based functionalities regularly and logically, keeping in mind the customer needs and demands. For example, today, consultation and management functionalities have been successfully integrated to our customers' satisfaction.

To ensure the success of Guide Ti and customers' satisfaction, Cogep is constantly examining its product and before proceeding with any changes, ensures that the answers to the following questions are affirmative: Are the needs of our customers understood completely? Are they being met?

Cogep’s service plan provides constant updates of Guide Ti. Functionalities are therefore added to the product based on requests and actual or future customer needs. The development of Guide Ti technology is similar to our approach to implementation: a simple and effective takeover, followed by ongoing improvement.

This reflective approach benefits each customer, which is based on actual needs -- not the sensationalism of acclaiming: "We have a Web-based solution":

• Reduced software costs
• Efficient functionalities
• Stable solution
• Rapid software execution
• Forceful solution
