Why Choose AEK? | Key Advantages to AEK Computer Systems
Installation and training are easy and quick. Your staff manager assigned to coordinate the computer system installation begins by following the simple guidelines in our system documentation. An AEK associate assists if required.
Training is conducted in your offices or a our state-of-the-art training center, outside Chicago. Training only takes a day or two for each module. On-line instructions in the live applications provide helpful reminders and the training mode remains on-line for use at any time.
In a few days or weeks, you can be up and running, instead of months or years, saving time, labor and expense. Once a system is live, daily operations become routine, requiring little or no outside assistance. If you need help, it is included for one year at no charge. Service contracts, which include free upgrades, are optional after the first year.
From the moment you start up the computer hardware, AEK software systems maintain control. Functions are selected from menus. The Security and Control system monitors all activity, prevents unauthorized access and coordinates the use of printers and other devices. The various application systems can operate independently and simultaneously from workstations. They are integrated with one another to prevent duplication of operator effort and eliminate balancing errors.
Month-end procedures are protected by sequence automation to prevent accidental execution of processing in the incorrect order. During automatic month-end operations, any errors or out-of-balance conditions are flagged for action and correction before proceeding.
Financial reports are available in a wide variety of formats to suit any need. They are written to allow easy modification by you or AEK to satisfy any special reporting requirements.
AEK software is one of the most widely used for leisure services in the Chicago area. We have more than 125 clients and thousands of users from coast to coast. All modules are fully integrated so that no information needs to be handled twice. All our applications were designed by leisure service professionals from our users group.
Our software will run on a wide variety of computer hardware systems from most manufacturers. AEK maintains hardware independence. We can help you select what you want, need and can afford in computer hardware - rather than limiting you to a brand you must buy. In addition, we do not take commission from any hardware companies, and can remain unbiased when we assist you in the selection process.
Our software has been developed and used since 1975 by maintaining hardware independence. AEK also insures software transportability. We protect your ability to upgrade to the best computer hardware at the lowest price anytime in the future without reinvesting in software and training.
We insure maximum computer system compatibility, flexibility and use by using computer hardware that supports UNIX, Windows NT or Novell - recognized industry standard operating systems. Several popular proprietary environments are also supported, including Digital Equipment Corporation's VMS.
We have more integrated applications already developed and waiting for you to choose from - more than 30 and growing. This means that your organization will not need to develop new special-specialized software at high cost. AEK Users Group is represented by more than 125 organizations. This group receives weekly NewsFAX and participates in Video-Taped Special Interest Group Meetings. If new ideas or requirements arise, this group shares ideas and the development costs.
