Good planning is essential for any project and if you’re thinking of bringing in a new database or expanding an existing one then we can help you think through all the areas necessary to ensure the project is successful. Through discussions with key personnel and looking at your organisation's business requirements we can help you draw up the aims and objectives of the database, the database structure, and tips on how you can manage the project.
Review of information flows and processes
Every now and again an audit of how you're using your database can help you in your strategic development of your system, ensuring you are getting value for money. This service has 3 elements:
- Input: this will audit the data you are inputting into your database - the data itself, the database structure, and your rules and procedures. This will then lead on to recommendations for the future.
- Outputs: a database is only effective when it starts turning your data into meaningful information. If you are finding it difficult to extract, manipulate or interpret your data then this service will show you how you can use the tools available to analyse your data so that you can evaluate, plan, report, and forecast.
- Processes: The database should exist to make your life easier, this means streamlining and automating tasks to make them as efficient as possible. Our consultants can help assess whether existing processes are being managed effectively, and identify further processes that can be managed by your database.
SQL Healthcheck
We can do a healthcheck and a tidy up on the tables behind the scenes of your database. This means that you can be sure that your database is working correctly and efficiently.
Integrating database software systems
It is possible that your database can be integrated with other systems used by your organisation, such as Accounts systems. This will save you time and effort. Our consultants will look at your software systems and advise on how you can further streamline your processes. They are then able to undertake the technical work for you and integrate your software.
Data Conversion
If you are transferring data from one system to another then let our consultants do the hard work for you.
