FAQs
Q1. What are the benefits of having a content-managed website?
A1. The benefits include:
- having complete control of the content of your web pages (including images)
- no on-going costs associated with requesting a web developer to amend the static content of your site
- no time-delays - instant changes possible
Q2. Are websites that manage business processes expensive?
A2. No, in comparison with the cost of proprietary software with their upgrades and licence fees, our web-solutions are (depending on complexity) very competitively priced. Our systems make you organisation more effective, providing savings both in time and staffing costs.
Q3. Can you give me an example of what a Bamis system is capable of doing?
A3. One of our clients is a therapist who has a treatment room which has spare capacity. We have built a simple room booking system which enables her visiting therapists to book the room for short periods (i.e. one or two hours) across a number of weeks if required. They pay online via PayPal and the booking instantly flags the room as booked for the period(s) selected. Our client can download a spreadsheet for any period (i.e. daily, monthly, weekly, yearly) for record keeping/accountancy use. Our client specified that she wanted to 'approve' all registrations of visiting therapists rather uses a simple email sign-up which verifies the email address only. This facility was supplied as part of our solution.
Q4. How flexible can your systems be?
A4. We look at each scenario to determine the best solution on a 'one-off' basis. As an example, we have recently built a car park management system which uses ANPR to recognise incoming vehicles. The system times the length of stay of each vehicle and presents this information to a kiosk operator when the vehicle leaves the cark park. Our system works out the cost (which could be day multiples as well as short stay), it records the payment allowing the vehicle to leave the site. Our client has now asked us to build a space pre-booking system to work in conjunction with the original module. This combined system will mean that clients who pre-book will be allowed instant access to the car park when their vehicle registration is read by the ANPR system.
