Flexible Configuration
StrataExplorer has been
designed to provide the user with the maximum amount of
flexibility on how to configure the application for
their company.
Optional
Extension Modules
The application is
composed of a base application and optional extension
modules. Although each user within a company requires
access to the base application they do not necessarily
need access to the optional extension modules. For
example, you may need several technologists to be able
to create and edit boring and well logs but only a
couple of geologists to be able to create cross-sections
and maps. In this case you could purchase several copies
of the boring and well log module and only a couple of
copies of the cross-section and mapping modules.
Single User or
Network
StrataExplorer can be
deployed on an individual computer basis or through a
network server. If you wish to have it only available on
a few computers in your organization then the single
user approach is appropriate. However, if you would like
to provide access to the program to a lot of people in
your organization then the network approach is better.
The program can also operate across a WAN or VPN so that
several offices can share access to the application.
Oracle or
Access
There currently are two
database formats supported by the application, Oracle or
Microsoft Access. For smaller organizations or where the
data will reside on many different computers, Microsoft
Access is a low cost efficient database format. In
situations where the data is to reside on one large
central server, Oracle can provide a more efficient and
easier to maintain database format.
