web-based and built on the latest Microsoft .NET technology.
A web-based system means:
- No client installation (requires browser)
- Quick easy upgrades (average 1 - 2 hours)
- Centralized management
- SQL Server 2000/2005
- Most implementations use existing infrastructure - no additional hardware required
- Questica can host the application
Financial Integration
Our TeamBudget government budgeting solution can integrate with almost any financial package. Questica will work closely with your team
to integrate with your existing system while always demonstrating "best practices" in all stages of development. This means that you do not
have to spend additional dollars in purchasing a specific financial system to take advantage of our budgeting solution.
Seamless integration means you can:
- Add actual costs manually or import from financial system
- Monitor open projects through summary and detail views
- Develop reports to compare actual vs. budgeted costs
- Upload completed budgets directly to your financial system
