Full Life-Cycle Database Design & Development

In a nutshell, I provide full life-cycle database design and development services including initial design and specification, structural design, application design, development, testing, deployment, implementation, training, and support.

Relational Database Design

With more than 24 years experience in an array of business, commercial, governmental, and industrial environments, I have developed a keen understanding of the functional relationships and business rules required for designing solid database structure.  I know how to avoid "over-complicating" a system as well as how to tame a complex monster.

Database User Application Development

I use Microsoft Access to develop database user applications.  I am renowned for my exceptional, professional, and intuitive user-interface design abilities.

Microsoft Visual Basic Programming

When appropriate, I create additional database and supporting applications developed using Microsoft Visual Basic.

Microsoft Access Runtime Deployment

I have built, deployed, and implemented numerous Access Runtime installations saving clients thousands of dollars on full-version licensing fees.

Database Platform Conversion & Migration

Over the years, I have provided conversion and migration services to several clients when required.  The platforms have included ORACLE, SQL Server, Access, Fox Pro, Btrieve, Paradox, dBase, and delimited text files.

Existing Application Enhancement, Optimization, or Upgrade

Often, a client will have existing Microsoft Access applications that require some improving.  I frequently provide modifications, improvements, enhancements, or optimization to increase efficiency and performance of existing applications.

Likewise, a client may need to upgrade from a previous version of Microsoft Access to realize the latest technology benefits.  I provide the necessary analysis and recommendations to convert both the data sources and the applications involved, then provide the necessary modifications to assure a successful upgrade.
