Mission Statement
AA Software Support provides
system and network services to small organisations. Over the past four years we
gardually became more involved with library automation. As contractor,
we have developed a number of web-interfaces for library catalogues and
library applications. Although we have been (and still are) developing with
proprietary software, we prefer using open source systems. At the moment we
are involved in developing knowledge base systems and e-commerce applications.
- Computer networks and Internet connectivity
We are connected to the Internet using Versatel Telecom and
KPN Internet Access.
We added the Versatel connection recently to meet the
growing demand of our customers for web databases. This connection provides
expansion possibilities of upto 155mbs.
- Library automation
Upto this moment, we prefer using ADLIB (www.adlibsoft.com) for the
development of library applications (Windows and Internet). For other purposes
we are using open source PHP/SQL software.
- In general HW/SW
Apart from a few servers (ICL/HP) we use
standard PC hardware that is assembled on our specification. Our servers run Solaris (one server) and Linux (6 servers), while most of our workstations run Windows 98 and
Windows 2000. We develop with GCC, Perl, PHP XML, and ocassionally with Visual Studio.
- New in-house databases
None library related. We recently moved to using the Keystone database system
for incident management.
- Special web services
We provide virtual webserver facilities with a mixed database environment. Special in this setup is the use of a the
Windows based ADLIB internet server in an otherwise Unix webserver environment.
- Research and technology development projects
Currently we are developing a web-based combined knowledge base and incident
management system. The system will be primarily used for our own helpdesk and
by one of our customers. But we hope it will be more useful than that.
