IBEC Features

IBEC e-Office: Intranet

e-Office, one of the two key solution packages from IBEC, empowers businesses to seamlessly communicate among employees, customers, business partners and the public by leveraging the Internet. It equips each individual member of an organization with access from home, office or on the road to the Web-based applications by using a convenient Web Browser interface.

Common daily business interaction is streamlined through IBEC e-Office. Making appointments, instituting a discussion forum and implementing an approval process are a few typical examples. Through e-Office, users are able to become substantially more productive whether it is for individual tasks or collaborative teamwork.

IBEC e-Office also facilitates fundamental individual business applications such as Web-based email, fax or message boards with access from the Web. Additional e-Office applications including To-do List, address book and personal schedule, with Palm Top compatibility, give you the Palm Top on the Web. Not only can you access e-Office anytime and anywhere from the Web, it is a server concept that allows you to maintain the data integrity via IBEC server on the Web. No more replication from device to device is needed, unless it is preferred for special purposes.

A software-only package of e-Office is also available, provided the customer has hardware platform that meets e-Office system requirements.

IBEC Site Manager: Web Design/Content Management

IBEC-Site Manager, developed by Aries Solutions’s team of software engineers, essentially brings together the many elements and tools required to produce a truly interactive Web or Intranet site. Primarily focused on City, County, and Community Network requirements, Site Manager is engineered to provide distributed administration in a very easy-to-use package making it possible for non-technical personnel to build and manage their own portion or even a single page of the Web site.

With Site Manager’s inherent ease of use and distributed publishing, administrators are able to accelerate the availability of information to the community, visitors, students, and business owners, current and new. Administrators can easily upload Microsoft Office documents, PDF, or any other file type to build pages, forms, and surveys online. Cut and Paste page creation is a snap. Entries to the Community Calendar, creating on-line forms and surveys, and page creation via templates or the Aries Solutions Rich Text Editor are effortless and require no programming knowledge. With password security, the main administrator can have definitive control over publishing, editing, and updating rights for all areas of the site. Below are some of the standard features of IBEC-Site Manager.
