All your data in one place

 

How well a modern business can operate is determined by how well they organise and process information in a systematic way. Many businesses use paper, Word and Excel files to store and manage the information used by different departments.

 

Our team at A3 can design and develop a database system that stores information in a central location while keeping it organised. This will make your information quickly and easily accessible thanks to flexible search options, web-based interface and dashboard reports.

 

Your data: any-time, anywhere

 

While the database engine will do the back-end work such as storing data, creating backups and running queries, there needs to be a way for the users to interact with that data.A browser-based application (Web App) is usually the best means by which the users can read and write the information. It makes it easy to host and maintain the solution in a single place, rather than the PCs of every user. It also makes it possible to access the information from anywhere and at any time, provided that from a security point of view this is desirable for the organisation.

A database solution does all the necessary processing including storing data, backing it up and retrieving it whenever users need it, but how will users be presented with the resulting information?

 

Using a web application that runs from a browser, users can easily read and type in information. Having all the information stored in one place makes it easy to maintain the database system in one place instead of every user’s computer. Information can also be retrieved anywhere and at any time if this is what the organisation desires, bearing in mind the security issues can be addressed easily thanks to proven online technologies.

 

 

 

Monitoring the business via dashboards & notifications

 

Databases are able to put data in a way that makes it useful for decision-making. They present information in reports and graphical interfaces that enable users to make decisions easily and also monitor the system’s performance in real-time.

 

Users will receive alerts automatically via email or SMS when the database is not functioning as it should or when actions that could put it at risk have been performed. Emails are sent to the people with power to make decisions in a timely manner.

 

Security: who sees what?

 

Will the database system continue to ensure that access to data is tightly controlled? Yes. Databases control access levels to data and the amount of information that different users are able to see or change.

 

In every organisation, not every user should be able to see all the data stored. With this in mind, our team works hand in hand with directors, managers and other decision makers to grant each user access only to the information they need in order to perform their designated role.

 

This means that while everyone will log-in to the same database, they will only see what is relevant to them through the web-based application.
