Solving Modern Client Requirements and New Customer Interests

Enterprise Expense Reporting

Today we'd like to announce availability of a prototype version of our new Enterprise Expense Reporting application right here on www.financialportrait.com!

The prototype, along with v1 of the product, will be accessible from almost any desktop or mobile device browser, so you won't need to install anything in order to take a peek or to enter an expense line item under a Demo User profile.

Enterprise-level requirements for the v1 runtime are (IBM's) Db2 for i database and (Microsoft's) IIS web server. The IIS web server configuration needed is basically stock, right out of the box, with the exception of a requirement that the Db2 for i .NET Provider be installed.

Please keep an eye out for the official announcement for our new Enterprise Expense Reporting licensed product or let us know you want to be informed.

But the prototype is Here! It's ready! and you can see it on this site by clicking on the trumpets picture and then going to sign in using the Demo Credentials... Actually now, in most cases we have it already signed in with Demo User 1 Credentials.

Please contact us with your questions, we are interested in getting beta site customers and finding evaluators. Tire Kickers wanted! Let us know your interest, we can give you credentials for trying out the prototype in the cloud (smartclient is not required for the EER application, any standard browser will work). Find defects, win golf balls!
