Database Systems Design and Development


Back to List

Overview

Whether you need help creating a single database application or report or are considering optimizing all the information buried within your organization, SatiStar’s technical expertise and proprietary tools will reduce the cost of database design and development and simplify work for your people.

Scope And Deliverables

SatiStar’s knowledgeable consultants can support any level of database design and development, from a single desktop application to enterprise wide, multisite Decision Support Solutions (DSS).

Our developers are skilled in most of the current popular database software, including Microsoft Access and SQL Server, and can create customised databases such as contact management, inventory management, scheduling, call centre, and Human Resource systems to suit your needs.

At the other end of the spectrum a DSS project must begin with a top down approach. Working with relevant internal business users, we capture their Key Performance Indicators and then design, implement and educate users on a DSS system.

A benefit of a well designed DSS system is that clients can use it to understand their customers’ behavior and execute decisions that are based on accurate and timely information well before the competition.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

SatiStar's Experience Makes The Difference!

  • . . . worked extremely well with the departmental and site managers . . . goal oriented and met the objectives set within the quoted budget and ensured the results were attained for the Company.

  • The guys from SatiStar did more in one week than we were able to do in 6 months.

  • Achieving ISO registration was far less onerous than we thought, our employees really rallied to the cause. The registration effort really brought us closer together as a team, and SatiStar really came through for us when we needed them.

  • We started this process a year ago with Mickey helping us create a spaghetti map of our processes on the whiteboard, and then his team guided us through their streamlining methodology and got us to where we are today. Our processes now look nothing like the spaghetti map – and we’re much more efficient today

  • This projected cycle time reduction of over 80% annual cost savings amounting to over 3% of sales, one-time savings of roughly $10 million, and working capital reduction of roughly $30 million really have us excited!

  • An outstanding success with Motorola’s vendor audit! What made this an exceptional achievement is that it typically takes 4 to 5 attempts to pass this audit. SatiStar’s expertise made it easy to avoid all the extra attempts.
