Purpose

hed.dress.net is a software for address and contact management. It is designed to meet the requirements of small and medium businesses. 

Basically it is a database for address information.

Contact management is an additional feature. When dealing with hundreds of people professionally, one has to remember a lot of information about these people. Customers expect that you know what they told you last time. Also, you have to remember, who is a customer, who has already got your information material, whom you have promised to send something. A contact management system lets you stored this information efficiently and makes it easy to retrieve, even while you are talking to someone on the phone.

Also, address information can be classified. Maybe you want to send an advertisement to everyone who has inquired about a specific product within the last year. With address classification this group of addresses can be identified in the database. The classification system can be configured to the requirements of your business.

Although targeted for use in a business, hed.dress can also be used to store the addresses of organsisation or your personal addresses. Never again forget the birth date of a good friend!

Technical Details

The database has been modeled according to the rules of relational database design. A small but stable database engine guaranties the integrity of the data. A well designed database is important to ensure that the data can be retrieved. With such a database you can later convert the data to other systems. Even if you do not do that yourself, any competent software developer or database administrator will be able to work with that data.

Programming language: Power++ 2.5 Enterprise (C++ programming language, compiler made by Powersoft).

Database system: Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.5 Runtime.

The runtime engine used can be distributed free of charge with Power++ applications. The same database can also be hosted by the full-featured SQL Anywhere database server.

hed.dress.net is made for serious work. It does not play music or entertains you with a multimedia presentation. It installs without making any significant changes to the setup of your computer and it uninstalls cleanly.

hed.dress.net supports German, English and Spanish language. It can easily be translated to more languages.

Network support

hed.dress.net is fully network enabled.

Current state of the software development
