Available Modules
These modules will be deployed during 2002.
Access to most features is password protected and limited to appropriate users. Authorisation is based on selected user attributes, e.g. a member may access member protected data. Authentication is based on an encrypted password stored in the database.
The fundamental value-add of datalatte is the support for virtual organisations with single (e.g. a board) and multi-level structure (board + branches and/or committee's) through web based sharing of data and information.
