Database Design

How a business gathers, manages and uses information is probably the most important factor in its success or otherwise. Database technology has automated a range of tasks which had always been handled manually, meaning that staff have more free time to pursue more value-added (and profitable!) activities.

Choice of database and effective database design are key to achieving the goals of capturing, storing and disseminating information, and the beauty of the database as a tool is that it can do all of this from a single design. While simple, single-user databases can be readily created with desktop tools such as Access or Excel, more complex multi-user systems require careful planning, design and integration with other existing systems.

Governor Technology are experts in the field of designing, building and supporting relational databases from scratch, both stand-alone and web-based. We also do a lot of work for clients who have existing databases, in terms of stabilising, enhancing, migrating and updating them to newer technologies. Finally, we can help integrate these databases seamlessly with other applications which are important to the business, websites and third party interfaces.
