For a small company, organising your information can be a lot of hassle. A popular approach is to use Microsoft Access or even Excel to organise your customer, delivery or invoicing information to begin with.
But after a while you've got quite a lot of data there. Maybe you now need to get at it from several computers at once, or put some data on the Internet.
And for some reason, your database is starting to really slow down - maybe it's even starting to crash the computer from time to time? Or perhaps it's lost some of your valuable data?
Don't panic! This is a really common problem. Databases need a proper technical specification from the start if they are going to run smoothly - and some types of database, such as Access, aren't very good at sending information to several users at once. We can help.
If you need access to your database from several computers, or you want to tie it into your website, you're going to need a database system designed for the job. We can take your Access or Excel system and move it onto a MySQL system which is designed from the ground up for network access.
And you needn't be concerned that you'll lose control over your data if it moves onto a new system. We can set up any custom reporting systems you need, or allow you to run off a range of custom reports just using your web browser - no new software to learn.
If you need a more customised approach, just let us know. We have the experience to handle most database development projects for small and medium-sized businesses, including ecommerce solutions and CRMs, and we'd be delighted to talk to you about your particular needs.
