Excel is often the go-to tool in corporate environments thanks to its ubiquitousness and flexibility. It is easy to create "forms" in Excel for collecting data that can be sent back an forth by email (or more secure means) - however it is not a good tool for long term data storage and/or analysis. A proper database is more appropriate. What is ctrack? --------------- -Recognising this need, **ctrack** is a proof-of-concept web application developed in-house by the Cyber Compliance Team at the UK Department for Transport that aims to demonstrate the improvements in workflow possible by storing data associated with OES and its associated CAF data in a relational database. It focuses on the absolute basics of managing any business data: *Create*, *Read*, *Update*, *Delete* functionality (CRUD) and demonstrates how collection and analysis of ongoing assessment data - using the CAF as the foundation (the framework, not the spreadsheet) - can be exponentially improved using the simplest of form-based web application. +Recognising this need, **ctrack** is a proof-of-concept web application developed in-house by the Cyber Compliance Team at the UK Department for Transport that aims to demonstrate the improvements in workflow possible by storing data associated with OES and its associated CAF data in a relational database.
