All customised MIS software developed by Remme Consult are characterised by a high level of:

• user-friendliness with respect to data input, analysis and maintenance
• flexibility, which enables the users to define reference data and develop queries and reports without support from the programmer.

The systems usually include the following facilities:

1. Different user access levels - Administrators (full access), Encoders (can access most functions but not change system files), and Guests (can only view data).
2. Easy data encoding - user-friendly data entry screens and a logic flow of data input. The system makes extensive use of selection forms, picklists, drop down boxes, check boxes, etc. and enables the administrators to define their own reference data such as names of regions, types of projects, institutions, etc.
3. Comprehensive data analysis - A Query Builder enables the users to construct their own questions by selecting variables from the database and defining filters and criteria. The system does not require any knowledge of the database structure. The results can be sent to MSExcel or MSWord or be printed through an automatic report, which can also be further edited by the user. The Report Builder enables the user to design and save comprehensive report templates.
4. Easy database management - selection of different databases, exporting/making back-ups, importing, automatic compact and repair, etc.
5. Help function - provides users with instructions on the use of the system.
6. Geographic analysis/GIS - some systems have integrated GIS functions for designing and displaying maps and doing spatial queries.
