Shared database software – suite to drive shared data services in project collaboration

• Shared data systems – their kinds and purposes

Shared database software is a great solution for all cases where it is necessary to interconnect a team of people working at a common project. Shared database software interconnects team members by providing concurrent shared database access to information that is important for them as a common shared resource which is necessary for productive participation in project.

Shared database system allows keeping the same level of knowledge in the project team, the same system of terms within one shared data plan (data structure) and, as a result, allows obtaining common understanding of the situation, because shared database system provides team members with one authorized and up-to-date picture of facts. There are different types of shared database software – for example knowledge base system (shared data repository) helps to keep integrity and consistency on project conceptions, goals, definitions etc, and task management system, with shared database online collaboration, helps to keep everyone connected to course of project activities, project plans, and tasks running in the context of project workflow.

Shared database online system allows team members to connect shared database server in order to perform operations with data – such as recording, retrieving, modifying, deleting. For example, VIP Task Manager is classic shared database software that uses client-server technology to ensure concurrent shared database access for multiple users that can manage their tasks in real-time. This software is designed for driving a number of helpful shared data services – document sharing, tasks collaboration and real-time performance control, time planning and communicating.

All transactions are performed through shared database server that is driven by Firebird 1.5.VIP Task Manager is ready-to-go shared database software, so process of installation is not complicated and deployment of this shared database system over your LAN may take only several minutes – shared database server component should be installed on your local server and client components on computers of your team members. This software works as real-time shared data repository that supports several shared data modes for viewing tasks and processes – Task List, Task Tree, Calendar, and Resource list.
