Given the tremendous success of the Microsoft Windows operating systems in the modern business environment, we have chosen to specialize in this platform.

We are Microsoft Certified Professionals, qualified in Microsoft Windows® Implementation and Support, and systems development with SQL Server™, Microsoft Access™ and Visual Basic.

For your convenience, we've included a brief description of some of the products we use and their benefits.

DATABASE/DEVELOPMENT PLATFORMS


 Microsoft Access provides both a database as well as tools for developing programs that include forms for entering and reviewing data, as well as programmed reports for data presentation.

Access has a very powerful programming language (VBA). When VBA is used to customize Access, it is possible to achieve highly customized results with relatively little programming. This makes Access development very cost-effective and an excellent solution for small and medium-sized projects.

Additionally, the latest version of Microsoft Access™ has new capabilities that permit data to be stored in Microsoft SQL Server™ and be readily accessible from a Microsoft Access™ front-end. This combination can provide an optimal balance of performance and data-integrity for the data back-end, with the Rapid Application Development advantages of the Microsoft Access™ front-end.


System Requirements
Access requires Microsoft Windows® clients and can operate on any network.  Microsoft Access™ is generally considered suitable for databases up to two Gigabytes (GB) in size and can support a maximum of 30 concurrent users. (These limitations do NOT apply when used in conjunction with a SQL database)

See how we can save you money on Microsoft Access™ systems.
 


MS SQL SERVER 2000 ENTERPRISE LICENSEMicrosoft's SQL-Server is an 'industrial-strength' database suited for situations beyond the capabilities of Access - i.e. for database sizes of more than 2 GB or needing to support more users.

A SQL-Server database is normally hosted on a dedicated server computer. This database server can run any version of Windows, but NT/2000 are the preferred platforms.  Client systems (the PCs that access the database) can use any version of Windows.

In general, the development and support of a SQL-Server database is more demanding than that of an Access-based system. However, when a high-capacity, robust database is required, SQL-Server can amply meet the need.


WEB PLATFORMS


For web-development we have developed systems that query and write to on-line databases. Using Active Server Pages (ASP), it is possible to create very powerful web applications that interface to a company database. These can be used, for example, to allow customers, vendors or traveling salesmen, to view data that is relevant to them from anywhere that they can connect to the web.

This same technology can also be used to deploy in-house systems on a company Intranet. Of course, the major advantage of web-applications is that there is no software that needs to be deployed and maintained on the users' PCs - all they need is a web-browser!
