Here's an example of how everyone benefits

Jane, who manages the Alligator Banking Company (ABC) in Florida wants to organize seminars that reach out to baby boomers with offers for better interest, free credit cards, mortgage, and more. Her local branch managers will be responsible for setting up meetings, organizing breakfast seminars at places where seniors congregate, and then following up with direct contact. Jane wants to approve all expenses associated with the campaign and get regular reports on the events, participants, and customer details.

Normally Jane would start with an Excel file sheet. But with so many branches in Florida, working with over 40 different Excel sheets will be a battle. Jane heads to the IT department and asks if they can develop an application. The IT department says "We have a bit of a backlog issue, we can have it ready in five months." Jane can't wait and would like the intern on her team to build the application. But where do they start? This is where the IBM Application Creator for Business Users comes in - with something for everyone.

  • ABC manager Jane - has a timely solution for managing her baby boomers campaign events and expenses, without having to deal with Excel sheets, email reports in various formats, faxes, and printouts.

  • IT department - can ensure the application's information is secured, backed up, and accessed only by authorized individuals.
  • Managers of local branches - have a convenient web application for keeping track of events, expenses, and customer details. No need to send weekly reports to the central office.
