Services - Custom Database Software Development
Web Development, Custom Database Software Development, Database Programming
We have extensive experience in the design and development of custom database software systems. Our methodologies have been honed since 1993 to ensure the successful design and deployment of these custom database software systems.
Due to its effectiveness in the successful creation of custom software systems, most of the time we use the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology for software development. These services include:
-
System Analysis - We'll interview all appropriate participants and stakeholders to get the information needed to design your custom database software system.
-
Rapid Prototyping - When you see the actual Graphical User Interface (GUI) that all users will be using to perform their work you'll feel a lot more comfortable when we write the real code. Many navigational and operational kinks can be worked out in this low-cost phase of system development.
-
Database Design and Database Programming - We take the information from the analysis phase and create the database that supports your current and future needs.
By using a data driven design we will save you costs by ensuring that future capabilities are built into the system. To use the future feature an administrator simply modifies the system configuration instead of requiring another significant software development effort.
Once the database is created we write all of the database internal software (stored procedures, triggers, views) necessary to ensure your system is as fast as possible and has a high degree of data integrity.
- Data Conversion - We have completed many extensive data conversions
using a wide variety of data sources. Data conversion means that we extract data from your old application/system and move it into the new custom database software system so you start with the new system right where you left off! We have performed data conversions between data sources like databases (Access, SQL Server, Oracle, Paradox,
dBase, etc.), spreadsheets (Excel, Lotus, Quattro Pro, etc.), and text
files (delimited, fixed length, free format requiring custom data recognition
and parsing).
-
Custom Software Development - We use the latest and most effective software tools available (hence our name - 21st Century Technologies, Inc.) to create your custom database software application. We currently create applications using:
- Visual Basic (VB6, VB.NET, VBScript, VBA)
- Active Server Pages (ASP)
- ColdFusion
- PHP
- Microsoft Access
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Oracle
- SQL Server Reporting Services
- Infragistics
- ActiveReports
- WebZinc - this component can perform any data driven task on a web page that you may require - enter data into a form, scrape page data, or perform a series of tasks.
-
Software Documentation - All required and/or desired software documentation will be created for your system - user manuals, administrator manuals, software documentation (system/database structure, algorithms, standards used, etc.).
-
Software Maintenance - After a limited Operational Verification (OV) period we turn the system over to you for full use. To complete the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) we will maintain the system for you and make enhancements as needed. If you want to maintain it yourself, we provide all information necessary for you to do it yourself.
We have been creating these custom database software systems since 1993. Visit our successes pages for details of many systems we have completed.
