Customer Facing Applications

Content Management System – Software that helps organize web sites in form and function. Allows non-HTML writers to manipulate the web site.
Dispute Resolution Workflow – Software that can accept a dispute and route it through the correct people and statuses to see it through completion. As it is routed the customer can see what state it is in.
Work Order Entry – Accept work orders that are more heterogeneous than what a catalog can accept. Examples might be building maintenance, apartment complex maintenance, cable TV installation, etc.
Returns Authorization – Make sure equipment or product has an authorization and explanation why before allowing the customer to return the product for restocking or repair.
Configuration and Quotation – Allow the kitting of a product or service with optional features and the quotation of providing it.
E-Commerce – Allow your customers to purchase directly over the web instead of working with a sales specialist.
Customer Integration – Your customers may want your systems to tell them something – use web services or machine readable files to keep your customer's informed.
Vendor Integration – You are a customer too! Set up integrations with your vendors to inform them of needs and to understand their available resources.

Additional functionality has been added to the collection of classes provided by Amduus Information Works, Inc. The DynamicEval.cls will allow one to send in a computable expression as a string and return the results of that expression.
