Database Design and Development

In a transaction based economy, information is everywhere. Marketing and sales information about clients, prospective clients, competitors, your products, their products, relationships, financing - it's all available, and could be used to build your business. It's difficult to compete effectively without the proper tools to manage that information. Yet frequently, businesses are unable to harness that information because they don't have the technical expertise to systematically harvest it, and selectively analyze the useful parts.

We are experts in database design and database programming using client-server technology. Microsoft SQLServer and Oracle databases are capable of handling literally trillions of pieces of information about your business and its environment and delivering analyses of them at lightning-like speed at roughly the cost of a new TV set. We know how to exchange information to and from the internet using that database technology, and present that information extremely well-packaged, tailored, and focused to management, of clients, or vendors.

Managing database projects is one of our major strengths. Over the past 20 years, we have managed all phases of database projects for our clients:

  Planning
  Data-Modeling
  Interface Design
  Web and Client-Server
  Workflow and User Analysis
  Capacity Strategy
  Implementation
  Migration of Legacy Systems and Data
  Post-Implementation Review

During that time, we have been an integral part of development of the technology that has revolutionized the information business. Our databases have been used to support a broad cross-section of business applications:

  e-Business
  Client Relationship Management (CRM)
  Sales and Marketing
  Accounting and Budgeting
  Modeling and Forecasting
  Finance and Markets
  Quality Control
  Messaging

Business Knowledge and Technical Maturity

Because we have provided technological leadership in so many diverse business environments, we bring an uncommon perspective of institutional wisdom to our clients who are exploring powerful methods in managing the information parts of their businesses. We strongly believe that information technology must model and support the business, rather than the reverse. By that we mean that the process of acquiring and harvesting meaningful data needs to be integrated into the workflow of your business so that it saves effort. It also means that data must be summarized and presented thoughtfully to assist management in running the business. In short, we talk your language!

Technological Diversity

We believe that it is important to fit the tool to the job, and have managed projects using mainframe databases, such as DB2, and RDB, and database managers such as SQL Server, MySQL, Informix, Oracle, FoxPro, and Microsoft Access. But, whatever the project involves, be it a single stand-alone desktop application, or one with complex multi-tiered client-server architecture, or an Internet based e-commerce site, we guarantee a robust, secure, carefully planned, and well-designed product.
