The Univue Team

We understand your business because we have worked in real-world situations that has allowed us to learn from the shortcomings of the current methods of doing things. We have extensive experience and background in Engineering, Manufacturing, IT, Assembly, Warehouse, Production Control, Procurement, Accounting, and General Front Office. We understand your time is very important, so we will strive to not waste your time in any manner. If you have a special requirement, or need more information on how any of your existing software or business process might interface with Univue, we welcome any inquiries.


Univue is a simple cloud based system that ties together all the fragmented bits of information scattered throughout an organization into a single easy-to-use platform. Usually, there's more than enough information floating around to help everyone do their job, but not enough organization and methodology to efficiently share the data between people and departments. Univue is more than a document management system- it's a Business Information Organization.

In a typical company, each department has specialized software that allows employees to perform their job, whether it is CAD in Engineering, CAM in Manufacturing, MSOffice in the Front Office, or ERP every-where. Most of these programs were probably selected because they were deemed to be "Best in Class" or at least the ideal tool for the job. Undoubtedly, most of the data generated by all these programs is crucial to business operations, but sharing this data from one department to another is usually a challenge. Also, there are lots of information that falls through the cracks between these programs because they just were not meant to handle it. Many of these shortcomings are handled with individual spreadsheets, Word documents, and sometimes custom databases, but the bottom line is that most of this information is very hard to share. Hence, Univue was developed to "bridge the gap" between departments and all their related bits of information.

Our History

Technology

Univue is a simple but powerful cloud application that can run on any Microsoft Web Server. It is comprised of various apps rolled into one allowing easy access to all your data from any internet connection. Using simple technology such as HTML, ASP, VBScript, Javascript and Access, the system can be easily customized to suit your individual needs. Furthermore, because of the open architecture design, you can easily integrate your existing software that supports ODBC connectivity. Even if you have software that uses proprietary databases, we can integrate into them as well.

Implementation

Univue is simple to implement in a matter of days because of its simple design. Many of your existing data can be easily imported into Univue, or can be linked from where they are. We also offer data conversion, import and data entry services to speed up your implementation. Many customers find the included functions adequate for their use without any modification. However, we can help you on any customization after initial implementation. Modification to the code and database can be done while users are on-line, so there is no risk of downtime.

Security

Univue is protected by several layers of security to protect all your valuable information and files. All the data is transported with a layer of SSL that makes it difficult to intercept any of the data going into and out of the system. Furthermore, all pages and functions can be restricted by user or group based on predefined security clearance profiles. Finally, since all activity is logged and reported to a system administrator, it is very easy to proactively take action on any unauthorized activity. Further measures can be taken to strengthen the security, such as implementing a DMZ, and only giving access through your company firewall using a VPN connection. If hosting is done by us, we back-up your data daily, with the capability to go back 30 days. If you decide to host internally, the entire site can be backed up within a matter of minutes using your own backup scheme.
