T4Aportal Basic
First released in 2013 as TaxCompiler, T4Aportal Basic is a secure offline application that creates, updates, and verifies thousands of T4A tax slips in record time. T4Aportal cuts typical tax slip processing times from days to minutes, completing most slips without human intervention.
The installation process turns a single computer workstation into a webserver that acts as a secure intranet portal. The T4Aportal Basic application works as part of that intranet website. T4Aportal has been designed to run on Windows as a WAMP web application, however, it can be easily installed on LINUX(LAMP) or UNIX(UAMP).
The data stored on that computer cannot be accessed by any other computer within its own private network, nor is it accessible via the internet. Being an webserver, other modules can be added to the intranet server very easily, such as the bonus module Contact Details that is included in this package.
