- Is your business now feeling the effects of growth over the past few years?
- Do you know where the information you needed yesterday is?
- Is the information you access out dated and/or inaccurate?
- Do your employees have data on their workstation that you can't quickly access?
- Are you using multiple software programs to store information?
- Is your data stored both on paper and electronically?
- Are you finding it harder or it takes longer to locate the data you need?
- Do you wish you could access your data from home or from a business meeting?
If you find yourself answering "yes" to many of the questions above, then DIR can help you
develop an ideal solution for your business enterprise. DIR can design a database to
fit your exact needs making data accessible on the intranet/internet to give you what you
have always dreamed of for your business (all the data in one place, on one system and
easily accessible to anyone you choose).
You have an idea what the software you have been exposed to costs and haven't ventured into
the world of customization. How can we design a complete system for your exact needs
and make it affordable to you? There are three main reasons why this technology is
attainable by smaller business today.
- Hardware costs have dropped substantially over the last decade.
- Linux is a free operating system (OS) that is extremely stable.
- MySQL is a free powerful relational database.
Keep in mind, that when you use a database and web enable it; you no longer require all the
software you are currently using. This applies to both application and server software,
so your other software costs can drop. Everyone will be using one system and the
company's data is finally in one place.
The US Census Bureau has a site license for the Oracle RDBMS, but uses MySQL database server
because of its ease of installation, maintainability, configuration and speed. Additionally,
the Bureau's web development team has relied on other open-source software such as Apache,
Linux, Perl and PHP to develop their web sites.
FedStats is a MySQL-powered portal to statistics
produced by the Federal government. With the ultra-fast MySQL database at the back end,
users can access data from over 200,000 documents and from more than 70 federal agencies
quickly and seamlessly.
