Decision support software
Article Abstract:
DecisionBase package from computer-aided design (CAD) provides information about graphic and nongraphic databases by selecting a symbol which leads to the appearance of a database record on the computer. The package is user friendly, aiding nontechnical employees to check the intricacies of new graphic designs and relevant data. Paperwork is reduced as CAD designers can make corrections in designs using the computer before the final print out is taken. The package enhances the efficiency of the employees and saves time as the designers can evaluate and make changes.
