Save Time
Email2DB will save hours of re-keying time.. extracting field data from emails and
saving them direct to your database. Email2DB can process emails of any age. So
if you have thousands of form-based emails sitting in a folder, Email2DB can
create a useful database from them in minutes.
Improve Business Processes
Email2DB can take several actions when an email is received. For instance, when an order comes in you can not only
update your accounting system, you can also print a packing slip, send an email to the order
processing department and a confirmation to the customer.
Improve Customer Relations
Email2DB can send custom follow up emails or SMS text messages at preset dates in the future. For example, a customer fills in your web
site information request form.. Email2DB reads the email and adds the customer
record to your database. Then after 1 week it sends a follow-up email to to the
customer asking if the information was received. After one month it sends
another email asking the customer if they want to order! All fully automatically.
Improve Security
Most web forms use ASP, PHP or CGI to update the database
or perform some other action. This is inherently insecure because the database
needs to be accessible from the web server. Using Email via Email2DB has a
number of advantages:
- The email can be sent to a completely separate and secure PC.
- Email2DB
can process the email without ever needing access to the web server or be
accessible from the Internet.
- If a PC or network connection is down the emails will sit waiting.
Email2DB will 'catch up' when the PC or network is back up.
More Redundancy
When using web forms to update back-end databases, the problem always arises
about what to do if the database is down. Using Email2DB resolves this
problem, because the email will always get sent.. and if the database cannot
be updated Email2DB will wait and process the email later.
Application Linking
Simple And Efficient Way Of Linking Separate Applications Or Separate Sites
Email2DB can be used as a simple but effective way to link separate
applications. Instead of setting up complex VPN links between business sites
to exchange data - use email! Remote sites will almost always have
facilities already in place to send and receive email. Click
