Application Service Providers usually host data belonging to the users. Many users find it critical to be able to access and analyse their data with their desktop tools. Form-engine ASP platform comes with desktop connectivity tools that enable users to take full control of the data that is hosted by ASPs.
Form-engine desktop connectivity suite includes two products: ODBC driver and Excel data upload add-in. With Form-engine ODBC driver, users can connect any ODBC-enabled applications including Microsoft Office to the Form-engine servers. Form-engine ODBC driver supports SSL security along with transparent operation through firewalls and proxies.
With Form-engine ODBC driver, Excel users can access data hosted at ASP's servers via Microsoft Query. Form-engine took it one step further by enabling Excel users to make data modifications in Excel and then upload modified data back to the remote database. Excel data upload add-in can also be used as a simple data import tool for the remote databases.
