If you have any other questions, either look in the database programming FAQ, or contact us.
 
Perhaps your business:
  1. Needs to automate portions of your business, but your needs are too specific to use any standard software package.
  2. Cannot justify the expense of large commercial database systems.
  3. Has a small database system that either needs to be upgraded or modified.
 
With Berdan Technical Services  
  1. There is no need to hire a full-time database programmer.
  2. We create databases that solve your business needs, and are not limited to an off-the shelf solution.
  3. We can enhance your current databases. Let us fix those old bugs, add new modules and migrate to newer, more robust and more secure technology.
Database Programming
  1. We develop databases using either of 2 database management systems: Microsoft Access and MySQL.
  2. MS Access is a good solution for the desktop or small network system. It’s fast to create, easily maintained and can be very cost effective.
  3. MySQL is an Open Source database management system. For small business applications it can be the perfect choice, as it is robust and cost effective.
  4. User interfaces can be developed either in MS Access (with either Access or MySQL data stores), PHP (for a browser-based system), or Java (for networked applications).
  5. Security is a constant concern, and we can implement multi-level security models to secure your data from outside and inside threats.
  6. Move your Excel spreadsheets to a real database management system. Spreadsheets are great, but at some point the data from huge spreadsheets should be migrated into a secure, multi-user system that can provide data validation, sophisticated query capabilities, and protection from data corruption. Store your data in a database and analyze them in spreadsheets.
  7. We can integrate your database with Microsoft Office functions. Automate Excel spreadsheet analyses of your business data. Create mailing lists and form letters in Word. Move data from Excel into your database, too.
  8. There are many software packages on the market that use databases for many different purposes. But don’t you have some processes that just don’t fit in these off-the-shelf solutions?
