Excellence Alliance's agreement with Data-Basics will give our members access to Data-Basics' complete line of SAM Pro and SAMPro.net service management, job cost accounting, and wireless technician software. Data-Basics has been in the service and construction markets for over 25 years, and is extremely well versed with the needs and concerns of our industry. They know that it all comes down to the bottom line. A software system must help your firm operate more efficiently, reduce costs, and increase revenues. Data-Basics does it all.

Data-Basics has developed its own complete suite of applications. This eliminates the headache of working with one set of software (and data) for service, another for construction and accounting, and yet another for wireless applications. Data-Basics provides an efficient, single source solution for all your computing needs:

• Service Management
• Financial Management/Job Cost Accounting
• Purchasing/Sub-Contractor Control
• Inventory/Distribution
• Web Client Interface (for your registered local and national accounts customers)
• Internet-Enabled Subcontractor and Customer Sales and Service Applets
• Wireless Technician (Windows and CE devices)
• IVR (Interactive Voice Response)

With a thorough understanding of our members' business needs, Data-Basics has developed a unique and powerful RBM (Rules-Based Management) tool that enables their software to proactively implement your firm's management philosophy.

We are pleased to announce that EAI members will receive discounts on Data-Basics software purchases, software training, and user seminars.
