WACL: Making Computing Simpler
We can design and set up a database
so that your system is centred around the data you use, and not
the data centred around the system you're forced to use. We can then set up
procedures to ensure your data is kept up to date and that you are provided with
the reports you want in the format you want to see.
Traditional Computer Software
systems organise data according to their requirements for processing. Having
many systems usually involves the duplication of data leading to greater
likelihood of some of it being faulty and creating additional work in its
maintenance.
Databases organise data according to the content of the data, reducing
duplication and easing maintenance. Data is accessible according to this content
rather than the predefined use ascribed to the data; this provides a greater
degree of flexibility in the way data may be utilised in the future.
Once database systems are set up it becomes easier for your staff to specify and
produce the reports they, and you, want from your computer system.
- Data Storage
- One of the major problems
in data storage is the initial entry of error-free data or the correction of
errors in data that do occur. We can design your database system to ensure
data is entered or collected with the minimum of input and error.
-
- Data
Retrieval
- Efficient access to the
data in any system is paramount. We can devise data retrieval methods to
ensure your data can be obtained quickly and easily. Reports can be produced
to fit in with your requirements, when you want them, in the format you want
to see.
-
- Data
Management
- Organisation of data is an
integral part of database design. We can ensure your database is designed to
organise your data and to make efficient use of standard database software.
When data builds up we can ensure it is archived appropriately, without loss
if required, or can arrange for data to be discarded where, for instance,
the law so requires.
Whatever your data processing requirements WACL can advise on the way to use
database technology to assist you.
