The Tidy Data Solutions Managed Dynamic Data service
functions entirely on the Tidy servers. The only requirement is
that the servers are able to connect to the source of the clients
data over the internet to monitor the data change and events.
Connection
Managed Dynamic Data runs on our servers. Our servers are connected
to your data through a pre-configured DSN (Data Source Name) on
your PC which carries authentication for our server. This is carried
out over the internet and is transparent to your network.
For this connection to be effective you must have a
"always-on" internet connection such as broadband or leased
line and a known (fixed) Internet IP address which does not change
as our server will always attempt to connect to this address. If
your connection is currently a dynamic address which can change
each time you connect, you will need to talk to your ISP to obtain
a fixed address.
Data Monitoring and Action
The Managed Dynaimc Data server monitors activity in
the data and is triggered by pre-agreed events or schedules to react
by transmitting documents via email.
On a certain day of the week at a certain time it could pick up
all new order entries for that week and send a formatted report
to all your directors. If a new order is entered into the system,
it could fire a copy to the sales department, despatch department
and the customer, confirming the details and checking that stock
exists to fulfill the order and notifying a delivery date, time
and method.
The tasks undertaken by Managed Dynamic Data are limited
only by the quality of the data and your imagagination.
The diagram below illustrates the process in simple
form.
