The app is a thin client that utilizes ClickOnce technology for deployment and any upgrades that are published. Prescriber demographics are downloaded to the Tablet by consuming a web service written in Visual Basic that will queries a SQL Server 2005 database and returns the data as XML. After the transaction is recorded, the application encrypts the signature/sample data and then posts the data back to the central servers using the web service. Once processed, the data is then available to the Corporate Home Office through a series of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services reports and through a Server 2005 Reporting Services report model for any Ad-Hoc reports. Other Server 2005 Reporting Services reports are available to the field representative through the Sales Force Automation website written with ASP.NET and Visual Basic.
