Time Link delivers proven software and data collection solutions that increase productivity for companies looking to streamline their workforce management processes. For Time Link, the ability to deliver a robust, scalable, flexible, and open solution is critical. A key component in offering such a solution is using a solid database.

Time Link International Corp. is a privately held provider of workforce management solutions. TimeLink delivers workforce optimization to its clients in the areas of time and attendance, employee scheduling, labor activity tracking, benefit accruals, leave management, analytics, and employee self-service.

Time Link has several complementary offerings for the market including the web-based, fully integrated workforce management solution called TimeLink™, and Synapps, a flexible data integration technology platform developed to eliminate the problems of error-prone, manual ERP data entry processes.
Time Link's data collection solutions have all been developed around an open architecture enabling a wide variety of independent data collection options. Time Link's terminals integrate seamlessly with all their software solutions, providing flexibility and ensuring a consistent fit with a company's organizational needs.

Northrop Grumman, Bristol Meyers Squibb, Pilgrim's Pride, Johnson & Johnson, and Prudential are just a few of Time Link's customers.

Need for a Solid Database

At the heart of a flexible and scalable system is an open, client-server database. Time Link customers typically run their enterprise systems on industry-leading databases such as Oracle and MS SQL Server. It is important that Time Link provide a solution based on these industry-leading, highly scalable databases and integrate with existing ERP systems. According to Brian O'Connell, Vice President of Application Development, using an Oracle or MS SQL Server database "is a requirement from our customers."

Reason for Choosing Mertech's Products

Mertech's High-Performance ISDBC Drivers for Oracle and MS SQL Server allow Time Link to offer a solid solution to its customers. Brian adds, "Mertech provided us with a reasonably priced solution that fit our requirements. Mertech is known for its reputation with producing high-quality database drivers. Their experience allows us to efficiently integrate our existing source code with an Oracle and SQL Server back-end without source level changes." Brian goes on to add, "on the commercial side, Mertech's products have enabled us to offer our solutions to customers who already use Oracle and MS SQL Server. On the technical side, they have allowed us to better scale our application by creating an nattier architecture running on industry leading databases."
