Aavelin Introduces EZ Stream.

< Aavelin Introduces EZ Stream>
EZ Stream is a customizable program for interfacing the Aavelin to PC database applications. Aavelin EZ Stream automates the entire process of creating page information and posting the results to your screen. Applications include display of conference schedules, meeting rooms, building directories. We are currently working with hospitals, hotels, prisons and manufacturing facilities. Each location has unique requirements for displaying data that already resides in a database. By automating the retrieval and display of that information, this application saves the most valuable of commodities—Time. EZ Stream interfaces with a variety of databases including CEO Software, Excel, Access, Delphi
