TIME SHEET

Abak, which emphasizes easy capture of time sheet and expenses
information, sports a Microsoft Outlook look and feel. Information is
entered into a "Detailed" time sheet where the user can select a client
or service (project), as well as service code (activity) information.

Having successfully penetrated the market among small professional
service firms with its time sheet and billing solution, Abak Software wanted
to grow its business by tapping clients with more employees and more
complex billing systems. To that end, the company needed to move from a
local database server model to an embedded client/server environment
that could manage larger amounts of information and increased user
loads without data corruption or loss, system downtime, installation
hassles, or other maintenance and support issues. The embedded server
also had to integrate easily within a Delphi environment for
hassle-free file migration to the upgraded system and client/server
database.
