Business Management
Application Introduction
Electronic Database Systems
have been replacing traditional
information processing methods (eg Documents and
Spreadsheets) for many years. These Database systems save hours
of correlating information to prepare Invoices, Client Accounts, Financial and Administrative
Reports and so on. Unfortunately, many applications offered today are extremely expensive
and are very ridged in their structure. While some companies have installed
expensive
systems, they are finding that they continue to have administrative needs for monitoring production, quality,
personnel, safety, financial and environmental performance, which are outside the capabilities of
their central system. Data Products can
provide solutions. In our experience the best
electronic administration systems are
It is for these reasons that Data Products have chosen to use Microsoft Access
as the application for our database systems, and Microsoft FrontPage
for our
Internet Web page design.
The cost of maintaining manual
data storage and reporting systems can be an ongoing burden to a business due to
additional staff and excessive time spent on data retrieval and report generation. Building your own electronic
system can also run into tens of thousands of dollars due to the cost of establishing the
appropriate skills base and the usual "learning curve" expenses. The purchase of a
professionally built package can be 50 to 75% less than taking a "build it as you
go" approach. However, since the system is provided in Microsoft Access, once
the users have a little experience, and perhaps some additional training, simple modifications
can be made to the system in house. Training packages are commonly
available from most training providers or alternatively can be provided by us. These
principles ensure you are provided with a reliable, flexible, low cost data system, which
is able to change with you and your business. Initial costs will depend on
your particular needs. Once again Data Products
can offer a fully flexible range of options. You can elect to have us design; a fully
integrated system, independent modules, or commence with a basic data storage and
reporting package, which can be regularly upgraded to include sophisticated functional and
analysis options. |
