How does LubeDesign Software work and how will it
work in my computer systems?
LubeDesign Software is developed in Microsoft Access software
application. Therefore you will need to have this package
installed on all computers using the LubeDesign application.
The computers can be stand-alone PC's, or server based workstations.
Access is available in most Microsoft office professional software
applications. LubeDesign software is applicable to older Access
2.0 and the newer Access 7.0 versions.
Can I use LubeDesign Software on individual computers
or do you need a server based system?
The answer is both or either. LubeDesign
applications can work in individual computers, in computers linked
to SQL servers, or in stand-alone server application. The
applications are designed to work in all the Microsoft environments
and can easily be upgraded to more complex SQL environments at any
time even after the initial installation.
What advantages do I have using SQL environments?
SQL servers add a very distinct advantage especially if more than
one user is involved. The SQL server acts as a location for
the data bases that are key to the program applications. By
using the SQL server to hold these databases, changes made by any
user are then immediately available to others. This advantage
also works to the benefit of all so changes are useable and
available to all users.
Can I operate Lube Design Software in my Company
Server or must it reside on my C-drive?
Lube Design software is designed for maximum flexibility.
For an administrator, the application can reside on a C-drive so
that updates and revisions can be facilitated. For other
users, it is best to have it reside in a server location, so any
revisions by the administrator will be immediately available to the
users. The operation of the application is not affected
by this location operation and can be in both those residences and
used at the same time, especially if the tables reside in an SQL
server.
How is Lube Design Software updated and how often?
The software application is always under review and development
to meet the challenges of our industry. With the purchase of
the application, a license agreement, and any specialty
modifications for the user, LubeDesign, Inc. continually evaluates
the analytical models and the application for improvements.
These improvements are then made available to the users by a variety
of installation methods. Depending on the application, these
updates are either handled by the user, or by LubeDesign
representatives. Most application revisions are handled on a
time line as they are developed, or as the user needs dictate.
How does LubeDesign determine what is the best
application for my company?
LubeDesign Software applications are not canned programs.
Each application is evaluated and with much involvement with the
company representatives, with a clear direction of the application
need and service required, and with consideration of resources and
cost, a program is developed for each individual user. This
may be a simple system for costing and formula evaluation, a more
complicated system designed to aide the formulation developer, or a
complete system to handle a lube plant operation. Every effort
is made to meet the needs while keeping the budget workable.
