What are the advantages of using an automated database?

        *    Increased data accuracy
        *    You only need to enter each data element once
        *    Customized, user-friendly screens
        *    Answer your customer's questions while you're still on the line
        *    Know where your customer referrals are coming from
        *    Compile data about customer demographics
        *    Learn what your most profitable products and services are
        *    And just about anything else you can think of.

Are you in any of the following situations?

1. Still using DOS-based database systems that don't give you the flexibility you need? Are they no longer supported by their developers? What happens if they fail? We can help you update them, and improve your processes while we're at it. We can also transfer the data so you don't have to re-key it in.

2. Maybe you're using spreadsheets, which just can't handle database demands. They are great for organizing simple data sets, but quickly become cumbersome as your requirements increase. Also, they require a technically savvy user to get the most out of them. We can develop user-friendly screens for data entry and report generation. A novice will be able to navigate through the process almost as quickly as an expert.

3. Are you possibly still using paper files? You are painfully aware of how long it takes to prepare reports or be able to quickly answer basic questions. We'll help you organize your data, give you the reports that you need, and even key in your legacy data if you wish.

4. Do you have separate databases that use common data elements? We'll help you combine the data with appropriate links so that each piece of data only needs to be entered once. We can make the data available to everyone, even if the files are resident on separate machines.

5. Do you want to protect your data from prying eyes? We can create log-in security so only those with permissions can tap into the data you want them to see. You can lock users out entirely or allow them to view only selective parts of your database.

6. Are you seeing your workgroup database degrading in performance? We can upsize your Access database to SQL-Server, which will greatly improve your performance and enhance your capability.

We'll help you improve your record-keeping and reporting systems--guaranteed! Imagine being able to have whatever information you need available at your fingertips, instantaneously. Answer your customer's questions while you are on the phone -- eliminate the need and expense of callbacks!

Your competitors already have this capability. It's expected in this day and age. We can help you speed up data entry, data retrieval, and report generation. You'll have a better understanding of how your business operates, and precisely what you can do to improve efficiency and performance.

Let one of our account executives work with you to specifically identify how we can improve your performance.

We turn data into information!
