We handle database projects with an eye to designing and implementing systems that people will use effectively. When working with your employees learn all relevant techniques, methods and processes to make your Information Technology investment pay off; transfer of technology is always a key element of our services.

has developed numerous database applications and decision support systems for the engineering, manufacturing, legal, business, medical, and non-profit sectors.

After more than 25 years of business, industrial and academic experience in both the architecture and design of databases has the experience, knowledge and insight to discover, implement and maintain solutions that work. For instance we have extensively used entity-relationship formalism and associated design tools to represent data models. Our design process produces the conceptual model for the database, an external model for each application and physical implementation documents (or source files) using DBMS specific Data Description Language (DDL).

Before designing a database we look at the functions that the system must perform and the characteristics that it must possess. This kind of analysis can lead to a re-engineering of the Client’s business process itself. The result is often overall improvements in and across business functions. Specifically, our areas of expertise include data processing for accounting, finance, payroll, order management and production plants (including real-time databases), electronic design and development, as well as applications for large retail stores, engineering activities and for service industries such as real estate, financial services, marketing, advertising and legal offices.

people are experienced with all major Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) including Oracle, Sybase, Ingres, DEC RDBMS, Watcom and Access on UNIX, VAX VMS and Windows platforms. Database development includes all aspects of physical implementation (table design, index, extensive use of integrity constraints through primary keys, foreign keys and triggers), the initial or test load of the database, the actual development of the applications using traditional embedded programming techniques (C++, C, FORTRAN), homogeneous development environments (database supplier programming tools) or client server environment (UNIX/MS-Windows, Oracle/PowerBuilder or Visual Basic).

is often called to resolve major issues on existing systems including low performance, poor data integrity and partial or global database re-engineering. Our first step is gaining a thorough understanding of the dissatisfaction, after which we diagnose the problem, using methods that include:

Actual measurements at system and/or application level and recommendations to improve the database at architecture level, index, application and data levels to pinpoint and resolve difficulties.

considers managing and then leading the corrective actions with the client's and/or consultant's specialists as part of our job. We always provide our client's management with final reports clearly showing the improvements and actual changes made during the course of the project.
