Don't know where to start? Are you having problems finding a database software package to fit your company's needs? Do you have an existing dBase or FoxPro application that needs some attention? Our first job is to find out what you need. Our experience allows us to assess your situation and recommend an action that is a sound investment today and also one for your future data requirements. The following process diagram will let you know what
to expect from your Microsoft Certified Professional. As you run your
mouse over the blue items, we will explain the process in text below.

Quality, professionalism, and experience is what we have to offer. Move your mouse over the items in the chart above and we will explain our Data Management System Build Process
TBase will meet with you several times to determine data information and end user requirements. Meticulous communication at this phase minimizes changes down the road."
Then (in my office) I create some database structures - ie: data tables and the fields of data that each table will hold. I review the data to be captured/stored with management and the users to make sure that we haven't left anything out.
The first forms designed are those used to input and update the data. Once functional, they are demonstrated to management and users. Requested changes are noted and implemented. Periodically management and users receive progress reviews via emailed screen shots so changes can be made if needed.
Report Specifications are obtained by TBase during our initial meetings and are modified as the system progresses. Once the data input features are fully functional, reports and data extracts are designed with samples being emailed back and forth until you get exactly what you want. As new needs arise, additional reports and data extracts are easily added to the system.
Testing is a continuous process. If the system is such that it can be installed and used by the users in segments, then we incrementally roll it out so that the client can begin using the partially completed system. This is the best way for the system to be tested...by a user really using it!
When the system is complete, I travel to your office and install the application. All workstations that need access to the application are set up (ie: shortcuts, etc). Then I sit down with your personnel demonstrate full functionality and teach them to use the system.
Technical Support is a matter of pride. We do not anticipate problems, but we are prepared in the event you require our assistance. Most of the time, application revisions can be made over the internet.
