Web Based Applications
and Database Integration
Velocedge makes extensive use of the internet and world wide web based applications
that are integrated with database management systems in most of its client's operations.
It provides consulting and custom development of such applications.
Interactive Satellite Training Support
 Depending on the customer’s operational philosophy, Velocedge can provide a
number of web based applications that move much of the database maintenance to
the Site Coordinator, greatly reducing the requirements on the centralized
broadcast facility. Only the Site Coordinator can use these applications and
access is controlled by a site identification number combined with the Site
Coordinator's password.
Velocedge has developed Learning Management Web applications that support
interaction with an interactive satellite training delivery system. The interactive satellite training system broadcasts a live
instructor via satellite with audio and data interaction from the remote
classrooms via the internet.
These applications provide functions to enter or maintain information in the
database through the internet with a standard web browser. The following
sections describe what each web participant can do remotely:

- Manufacturing capabilities data
- Discussion groups
