e-PDS was developed by a software consulting business for a specific large diverse client.  The software was easy to use and the database maintained all the information in an efficient and effective manner.  Since it was an Internet based solution, the client used it at the office, in their home and on vacation (laptop).  It did not take long to realize that a few changes could be made and this system could be generic and available for multiple users.  Today, e-PDS represents a leading edge technology solution for the Free Publication Industry.  Many publishers/distributors have used this product with great success and appreciation. 

 Below is a list of major software packages integrated in e-PDS:

•   Windows 2003 Enterprise Server (operating system)

•   Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (relational database management system)

•   Microsoft Office 2003 (visual front-end)

•   Microsoft Terminal Server (Internet client access)

•   Bar Code scanners
