==Architecture and Features==


SAM V2 is functionally similar to [[SAM V1]] in terms of data tracking, but differs in terms of architecture, user interface, and reporting.  While [[SAM V1]] follows a [[Wikipedia:Software_as_a_Service|software as a service]] model, SAM V2 requires that the software be installed on computers owned and managed by the user.  Please review the [[Media:SAMV1vsSAMV2.doc|SAM descriptions and pricing document]] for a comparison between SAM V1 and SAM V2.
SAM V2 was developed using the leading open source solutions of [http://www.php.net PHP] and [http://www.mysql.com MySQL].  For an overview of [http://www.php.net PHP] and [http://www.mysql.com MySQL] and why these products where used, see [http://media.wiley.com/product_data/excerpt/67/07645574/0764557467.pdf Why PHP and MySQL].
Other features of SAM V2 include:
* Web-based
* Accessible
* Custom, printable reporting
* Access control via logins
* Data encryption
* Data export
Knowledge of [[Wikipedia:SQL|SQL]] is required to create custom reports using the SAM V2 interface.  Additionally, [[Wikipedia:SQL|SQL]] can be used to import or manipulate data.
