Who use Business Database Development?
Our customers tend to be either small businesses who have outgrown holding their data on spreadsheet applications or
departments within larger organisations who require a specific task performing that is unique within their organisation
and can not be met by their existing IT resources.
To meet the needs of all our clients we will either talk in plain english and explain the basic processes to those without specialised IT staff or
where corporate IT resources exists we will negotiate the technicalities directly with them. The choice is yours.
Recent customers include a large London driving school, a small exhibition specialist from the midlands, a medium-sized building contractor from Glasgow, a London Borough and a multi-national power company from the north-east of England.
Why develop a database solution project with us?
If you find locating required data difficult and/or time-consuming it indicates that your business data is not being
managed in the most efficient way.
We will patiently guide you through the process of finding the best solution for you - and often advise potential customers to purchase
a product "off-the-shelf" where that is the most effective answer. However, many businesses do have specific processes in place that set
them apart from their competition. Our strength is in designing a solution that complements your
successful existing business practices.
If possible we will indicate one of our fixed price solutions, otherwise, where your
requirements are more detailed we will refer you to our full consultancy service, where the initial face-to-face consultation is without obligation and free of charge.

Why Develop a Database System
Having your business data readily accessible in a database will make it much easier for staff to locate the data they need
to service your customers effectively. In difficult trading conditions it is vital that valuable customer data is not lost in
various spreadsheets and word processor documents
A simple approach to database development such as is offered by our fixed-price systems makes a purpose built system attainable
to you at a price that quickly produces a return on investment, making this type of system a low risk - high gain scenerio. What have you got to lose?
For some organisations a more complex database development project is required, perhaps to encompass many different business activities.
This can be very effective. However complex custom database systems can be costly and we would recommend considering the following points before
making an investment :-
- What exactly do we want the database system to accomplish?
- Who will be using the system, how do they feel about it?
- What lifespan do we require from the system?
- How will the system be supported and maintained during its lifetime?
- What will be the overall cost of the system, during its lifetime?
- What will be the overall benefits from the system, during its lifetime?
- What are the alternatives to developing our own business system, how much do they cost?
- If the alternatives do not meet all our objectives, how many do they meet, could we compromise, should we?
If you come to Business Database Development for your business development solution we will patiently take you through your options
and work with you to design your purpose built solution if you decide that is the best for you.
The first consultation is free. If you have a more complex project in mind we will normally want to visit your premises
take a look at how you work and meet the people. Only by getting to know your business can we design a system that suits you.
