eTask can be multi-lingual. Learn more...

With the optional, multi-lingual implementation of eTask, eTask can be created in any language. This allows multi-national corporations to roll out eTask to managers at all facilities. With the flexibility of the software you can add any number of languages, but, at this time, you are limited to roman-character languages, such as English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, etc.

eTask can be implemented for a single facility or multi-plant corporation. Learn more...

eTask can support a single facility or a corporation with multiple divisions and plants. Irrelevant options are hidden from small plants, while multi-national installations can even customize the multi-lingual pages for local idioms.

eTask has been designed to support a corporation with multiple facilities. Based on how you want the information to be accessed, individual facilities may be limited to only seeing information and reports for their own facility. Conversely, all information can be made available to selected users, allowing individuals with corporate responsibility to easily run reports including all facilities.

eTask includes a Report Writer. Learn more...

eTask incorporates an easy to use report generator. All of the data which is entered into eTask can be easily retrieved by an authorized user. To facilitate the users utilization of data pulled from eTask, reports can be exported directly to a spreadsheet, where the user can plot, graph, or further manipulate the data.

eTask includes user-level Security. Learn more...

eTask incorporates its own user security. The user security enables an authorized eTask user to assign specific privileges to users. There are options to control who may add or modify any information and who may run the powerful custom reports.

eTask includes context-sensitive Help. Learn more...

eTask comes with context-sensitive help. All of the major functions within the software are summarized and explained.

eTask website can easily be 'branded'. Learn more...

Branding allows your company logo to appear in place of the HAZMIN® logo and your corporate color scheme to replace LOGICAL's default colors. Branding software increases acceptability by the casual user.

eTask terms can easily be customized. Learn more...

eTask can be customized with customer-title fields and customer-defined rules. Since each eTask field can be renamed, the eTask can be molded to varied uses. While some companies may have a need to manage regulatory deadlines and obligations, another company may have the need to manage a research laboratory. With customer-title fields the management possible uses are many and varied.

Change it once and it will be changed throughout the entire software and in 'Help'. The flexible field naming will assure that you can use terminology which is best understood by all users. Like "Branding", the use of recognized terminology increases acceptability by the casual user.

eTask email notifications can be customized. Learn more...

The rules that define when select users are to be notified via email based upon event triggers can be customized. This enables companies the ability to define the exact rules that govern the email functions within eTask.

eTask only requires a browser and Adobe Reader on the desktop. Learn more...

eTask is 100 % browser-based and should work with any popular browser. eTask only requires Acrobat Reader to be installed on the desktop to read PDF files. No other software or plug-ins are required on the user's desktop.

eTask has no client side java or VB Scripts. There is a little JavaScript used in the browser to improve the user interface. All computations are performed in the SQL database and all programming is handled on the web server.

eTask requires a Windows server running Microsoft IIS. Learn more...

eTask web pages are designed to work on a Windows server running Microsoft's Internet Information Services. eTask utilizes Microsoft's Active Server Pages and SQL statements to communicate with the eTask database.

Sizing of the web server depends on your plan for eTask. A dedicated web server is rarely justified. Quite often the web server and the database server may be the same machine. As we work to determine the customer's needs and plans for eTask, LOGICAL will work with you to help determine the server hardware requirements.

eTask includes security. Learn more...

eTask incorporates its own user security. Therefore, there's no need for the database administrator to become involved as users are added/modified/removed from eTask.

eTask supports Microsoft SQL Server. Learn more...

Only 'techies' would care about this information.

eTask has been designed and tested to work with MS SQL databases. The following versions of MS SQL are currently supported by LOGICAL:

• MS SQL 2000
  
• MS SQL 2005
  
• MS SQL 2008
  

One of the above databases is required for the software. Since the maintenance and support of the database, itself, typically requires that someone be trained and serve as the DBA - Database Administrator, most corporations have selected one of the above as their corporate standard. If your company has no one trained to serve as the DBA for the eTask database, or no extra staff to assign to this task, you may be a better candidate for LOGICAL's Hosting services.

Sizing of the database server depends on your plan for eTask. For eTask a dedicated server is rarely justified. As we work to determine the customer's needs and plans for eTask, LOGICAL will work with you to help determine the server hardware requirements.

eTask comes with 12 months Maintenance & Support. Learn more...

For implementation of the software, one year of Maintenance and Support is included with the licensing of the software. As part of Maintenance and Support, customers receive 24x7 phone support and software updates for the modules that you licensed. After the first year, LOGICAL will continue to provide Maintenance and Support while the customer continues to pay the annual fees for the service.

LOGICAL provides Maintenance and Support for four basic reasons. First, to fill the gap between your needs at the time the software was acquired and your future needs by continuing to enhance the software. Second, to help you protect your manpower investment in the software by offering ongoing training and consulting in the use of the software. Third, to protect your overall investment in the software by fixing problems identified by customers. Fourth, to support your installation of the database.

eTask has a simple upgrade policy. Learn more...

LOGICAL allows you to add modules when you need them.

eTask is modular. LOGICAL's philosophy is to provide only the module(s) to accomplish a client's current requirements. You may always upgrade eTask by licensing other modules as you need to expand the software. Acquiring modules in stages will not jeopardize the functionality of the fully integrated eTask software or incur a price penalty.
