We can write import programs to get data from most other data sources into Gestalt. For example:

– Spreadsheets
– Access databases
– CSV or TXT files
– SQL Server databases
– Other SQL databases
– ThanQ systems
– OpenAlms systems
– Blackbaud systems
– DonMan systems
– IMIS systems

We can setup your data out in the cloud on a hosted SQL server.

Response times are very good, as long as you have a good internet connection. Even over a slower connection, it is very usable.

The client software is written in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2010, using the inbuilt Crystal Reports feature for “paper” reporting.

It also integrates with Microsoft Office, so you can export data directly out to Excel, and you can create letters within Word straight from the application.

Gestalt needs SQL Server to run. Preferably SQL 2012 but it will also run on SQL 2005/2008 and runs with SQL Express of any of these versions too.

It therefore requires a Windows Server base machine to run on, such as Windows 2003/2008/2008R2/2012/2012R2.

Gestalt typically required 8GB of RAM on the server to run. A 4Gb server might be suitable if Gestalt is the only application running on that server.
