Database Design
 

More than any other computer application, electronic databases have become an integral part of today's business world. From small companies using Microsoft® Access for inventory to international corporate operations centers powered by Oracle® systems, database systems have become essential for growing and organizing a business.

Microsoft SQL Server Microsoft Access MySQL  dBase Oracle

This top-down organizational approach leads to easier adoption without negative impact .

Databases and the Web

The use of Internet sites powered by a back-end database has sparked a revolution in the utility of Web sites. No longer do homepages have to be reprogrammed as inventory changes. Today, "smart" Web pages are written that dynamically show a Web page that reflects the current status of the business. If you have a web site that lists the availability of your products to clients, that list will give an up-to-the-minute account of the status of your inventory.

Intrnets and Databases

However impressive the prospect of connecting your Web site to a database may seem, it dwarfs in comparison to the advantages and possibilities of a database-powered intranet. Through the use of Intranet technology, Web browsers are quickly replacing most other database interface tools on the market, with good reason. With just a Web browser program (such as Netscape Navigator) running on their computer, employees can access databases, customize reports, and browse through libraries full of company information. Once the business world caught on to the enormous potential of this resource, the push was made to "put"all internal processes over to the company Intranets, including:

• Human Resources
• Finances
• Sales Policies & Procedures
• Project Management
• Virtual Meetings
• Payroll
• Expense Reports
• Activity Logs
• Memo/Announcement Distribution
• Workflow Procedures

The possibilities are endless, but can sometimes be difficult to visualize. That's why a Automated Design sales representative can give you a comprehensive demonstration today - all you need to do is  contact us!
