We design and development bespoke data solutions for our clients. We create data application plugins or full data solutions, web-based or standalone software. We also work with your existing data solutions to optimise and development their use.

Whether you need to create a new data/database solution, adapt an existing data/database solution, or integrate a data solution with a 3rd party application we can work with you to achieve the best solution.

We create solutions that store data in your premises, or in “the cloud”/third party hosting provider or we can recommend data storage solutions, for example solutions provided by ReportMyData.com

Every data solution is individual so we will discuss with you your full requirements and develop a plan of the best solution.

What is a data solution and a database and why do I need one?

A database is simply a collection of data, whether that be electronic or not. A database can be an Archive Database (a static collection of information that holds historic data) or a Dynamic Database (a constantly updated collection of data) – both of which is vital to the running of an efficient, productive, competitive business.

A data solution comprises of all of the aspects of your data process; from the hardware and software used for data entry/data storage/data processing/reporting, to the actual data processes in your business.

A data solution might typically keep track of (but not limited to):

• sales order entry/EPOS transactions
• CRM (Customer Relationship Management)
• sales/support/general call logging
• event/hotel reservations
• finance accounts (purchase order requests, invoice requests, incoming invoice data, receipts, expense logging etc)
• payroll
• HR records
• time keeping
• distribution records
• supplier records
• stock level data
• meeting minutes

And many more!!

Whatever your business specialises a good data solution will help you maintain an efficient and productive business, with instant knowledge status and progression of all elements of your business.

The most important fact to know is that a data solution turns your data into business critical information.

What software, hardware tools and knowledge do I need?

There is a data solution for every business, with an incredible variety of software, hardware and tools that can be used. We will work with you to identify how you can use your existing assets and what new assets you will need to achieve your solution.

It’s also important to know that, however powerful your technical solution, the real power behind a data solution is the development and the usage of it (i.e the programmer – us, and the user, you). We use our experience and knowledge to create a solution for you that is easy and intelligent. We will also work with you to identify any training you may require to improve the quality of your data solution.

You might know which software you would like to use for your data solution, or we can recommend some for you, whether that be desktop software (Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel etc) or more advanced server software with desktop/web-based user-interfaces (MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server etc).

We are “technology neutral” – meaning we don’t stick to one specific type of system. We will identify the best solution for you and integrate into your existing setup, or create you an entirely new system.
