The Briefing Book is a powerful Executive Information System (EIS), designed to take advantage of Microsoft Mail and OLE 2.0 architecture. The Briefing Book is an OLE 2.0 container developed in Visual C++ and Visual Basic. The Briefing Book is compiled each evening and distributed to the appropriate users.
Specially designed Microsoft Excel Graphs are embedded in the container, allowing business analysts to design the system and shielding them from much of the complexity of a traditional EIS development environment.
