Explorer 3
Why YOU should use Explorer 3
Explorer 3 is the Best Data Management System because:
-
It is designed by Geologists with over 12 years experience in data management
-
No customisation is necessary - Explorer 3 is a true off the shelf solution to all your geological database needs.
-
Your data is accessible to your geologists without the need for an IT department to manage the data.
-
Powerful querying allows sophisticated searches without needing to know the SQL language.
-
The data structure has been tested with over 4 000 000 points from around the globe with all data fitting the one structure. This means there is no need for time consuming and costly changes to your system to take into account local variations.
-
It is much more than just an add on to Access. The system has been developed in Visual Basic with no reliance on any one database package.
-
Direct and fast links to GIS packages means that no prior knowledge of the data is required to query and analyse the data.
-
It is remarkably easy to use given its wide application, with less than a days training required to learn the system.
-
Its data model is based on the structure of geological data and has not been massaged to fit classic ideas of how databases should be structured. This results in a more efficient system for searching and storing of your data and a system that is easier for your geologists to understand. Earlier versions of our structure has been copied by some of our competitors indicating that we are ahead of the competition in this area at least.
-
There are over 1.5 million existing open file data points available through Terra Search in the Explorer 3 format. This data indicates the power and versatility of the package.
-
Terra Search is a geology based company and has not historically been a software development company. We have used staff and contract programmers who are experts in the areas needed to develop the software. We also make sure that all maintenance payments go to the further development of the software rather than other projects that you will have to pay extra for.
