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.
