eCriteria is for Corporate Workgroups - The Web-hosted database approach to collaborative data sharing is the perfect marriage of technology and business requirements. With eCriteria, department managers can quickly and easily build powerful Web applications for internal use. By clicking through eCriteria's Web Database Publishing Wizard, anyone can create entire workgroup applications without having to involve the company IS department, which typically means weeks or months later you'll get your application and for a cost that will put a dent in your department's budget. In contrast, our customers typically start using their databases the day they create it, all for a low monthly fee! With the ability to publish simple Enterprise Web applications, corporate workgroups possess the power to benefit from Web database technology in virtually every sphere of the business environment.

Below are some examples of how eCriteria can be used in a corporate workgroup environment. Many of the applications are perfect for attaching to an intranet, accessible to all employees of the company, or they may be used entirely through the eCriteria website.

The example databases (shown in RED below) are implemented with eCriteria Enterprise. The forms used in the example are generic. You can create customized forms to fit the look-and-feel of your site. Every person in the organization has their own database username and password. After creating a new username for login, they can add new requests or edit their own entries previously entered. The Enterprise data author can designate one person as a supervisor who can view everyone's entries. If you wish to access the database from a supervisor perspective, use the username 'eCriteria', and password 'eCriteria'. This example does not use custom data entry and search forms, but as an Enterprise member, you do have the option of creating custom forms.
