Abstract
The invention provides an account manager and database system that allows end users to bypass the need to integrate such systems in to their legacy information management systems. The account management and database systems are developed and maintained at a host service-bureau data center. The client accesses the account management and database systems through a communication link, usually a secure website. Decisions recommended by the account management system are then sent back to the client systems to take action. The client controls the account management system by utilizing the PCTable Maintenance System installed in the PC at the client site. Client also accesses the database at the data center for reporting and analysis.The invention reduces the implementation schedule for such account management and database systems and thus provides such systems to end users more quickly.
