| <p><small><strong>The only hard part about ODBC is how to explain it!</strong> There are a | |
| series of technical terms that the average rocket scientist could really appreciate but | |
| they would not really explain how easy ODBC is to use. Put simply, ODBC allows you to use | |
| your data (Customer, Supplier, Accounting, etc.) more easily and without the help of a | |
| programmer.</small></p> | |
| <p align="left"><small>For instance, ODBC allows clients to seamlessly integrate data | |
| stored in a database with ODBC-compliant applications such as Microsoft™ Word™, | |
| Microsoft Excel™ or Microsoft Access™.</small></p> | |
| <h3><!--mstheme--><font color="#CC3300">ODBC Example<!--mstheme--></font></h3> | |
| <p><small>Let's say you want to send a letter to a select group, introducing a new product | |
| that is applicable only to certain customers. </small></p> | |
| <h3><!--mstheme--><font color="#CC3300"><strong><small>The Old Way</small></strong><!--mstheme--></font></h3> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <p><small>The old way of sending out a custom cover letter and special package is very | |
| time consuming. First you must find a way the get your data into your word processing | |
| system. Otherwise, you have to re-key the customer information manually for each | |
| letter. Then you need to somehow filter your list to include only certain customers. Next | |
| you need to insert the data in the correct place in the letter. This process is | |
| frustrating, time consuming and prone to errors.</small></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <h3><!--mstheme--><font color="#CC3300"><strong><small>With ODBC</small></strong><!--mstheme--></font></h3> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <p><small>You select all the parameters from one area. For example, in MS Word, you can | |
| use the Mail Merge Wizard. Word actually reads your customer information (or what ever | |
| else you want) directly from your data. No imports or exports. This is a real-time lookup | |
| of your critical information.</small></p> | |
