Data collection is a common feature of all information systems and there are many options to choose from. Thanks to new technologies, we are no longer restricted to manually entering data on a keyboard. Data can be collected from bar code readers, caller id systems, hand held devices, scanners, faxes, e-mails, touch tone phones, internet forms, credit cards, hand printed forms, speech-to-text, digital scales and many more.

We have considerable experience in designing and developing data collection front end systems. We are a Platinum VAR for Cardiff Software, the makers of Teleform®, the premier data collection software on the market.
