Enable pathology personnel to design reports consistent with those being used, design new more useful reports and produce reports on their own without dependency on information systems personnel. No external word processor must be purchased. Easier to run, performs faster and hence more efficiently and just as important, if not more important, costs less. The required external disk space is minimized because no external word processor or word processing files must be stored. A word processing file of even one word takes many Kbytes of storage.
All data is stored once only in the relational database.
Fewer hardware resources reducing overall costs and better more efficient management of a single DBMS with greatly simplified searching capabilities. Operating system requirements are minimized, i.e. Windows instead of Windows NT is sufficient. The software will run on a 150 MHz Pentium Server. Existing computer equipment may be used for the new WindoPath system, improving ROI in existing hardware. Easier to learn because the product is simpler to use.
