There comes a point in the lifetime of any growing company when the amount of data that needs to be stored, called upon, manipulated and protected becomes too large for multiple shared spreadsheets. A database management system on a shared server will allow several users to access and update data at the same time which cuts out file sharing problems and errors. It also keeps data secure and, if necessary, protected by passwords and several levels of user access and privilege.
Of course every company will have different requirements form a database depending on what they do and how they use data. A professional database design company will develop and implement a database management system that provides all the functionality your organisation needs with the minimum of disruption. They’ll get your data working for you rather than the other way around.
Database Design Options
Databases normally sit on a shared server, or multiple servers, running Windows, Linux or UNIX operating systems. They are accessed by user interfaces which run from desktop PCs or which are web based. There are several database platforms to choose from including:
-
Proprietary systems: Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server
-
Open Source systems: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Ingres
Some open source systems are free to non-commercial projects.
Database designers will first of all come up with a conceptual model for a database, taking into account what data needs to be managed and the relations between different pieces of data. They will then design how the database will appear externally, taking into account how users need to interact with and manage data in the database. The database is then built to the required specifications and, depending on the scale of the project, implemented in stages with test runs and staff training in operation.
Most database design companies also provide ongoing support and maintenance for the database which sometimes includes upgrades to software when required or desirable.
Choosing Database Designers
It’s important to gather as many quotes for database design and build as possible to gain a broad overview of the market prices and to consider as many options as possible. Look for a company that can provide references and testimonials from previous clients and that looks as if it’s solvent and likely to be around for the foreseeable future (for support and maintenance). If you’re embarking on a long project it’s also important that your staff and the database developers get along.
