ESDAT has built-in methods to enable sharing of data
between organisations.
Receive data from Non-ESDAT users
Often one company may be
collecting data for another, and the data is
subsequently imported to ESDAT. Excel based
Import Templates are used to enter the data. These
can be populated, e-mailed and the data directly
imported.
Send data to Non-ESDAT
users
ESDAT offers the
following export options for non-ESDAT data use:
- Produce an automated
electronic report containing maps, graphs, tables
and the digital data.
- Export data to
ArcGIS shape files
- Export data to
MapInfo MIF files
- Export data to Excel
- Send the database
for opening in Access (both Access and SQL Server
versions). The database is intuitive to navigate.
Share data between ESDAT
Users
If a user does not have access to the database, it can
be easily compressed and transferred, often by e-mail.
This enables both parties to analyze and discuss the
same data interactively using ESDAT.
ESDAT over the Internet
An ESDAT database can be hosted on a web server. These
databases are accessible over the Internet to ESDAT
users with a pointer file to the database and an
appropriate login.
Import Laboratory or Field
Data
Data can be imported directly from laboratories, or
entered to a PDA in the field
