Six steps from your data to professional usage

During a project like the development of database-systems a stepwise approach has proved its worth. The better the planning the smoother and more effective the main development proceeds. Questions like "Why isn't Sam coding yet" do appear from time to time but in the end every customer has to confess it's our approach that saves the most money.

Abstract Goals	Description
data analysis parameterisation quantification qualification characterisation structuring	Concerning data analysis we first analyse what data appears, if it gets interlinked and which minimum amount should be achieved. The next step is to spread the data into logical groups, which is important when you create relations. Not to underestimate is the fixing of so called data types, to set up data controlling right from the beginning.
conceptual design permissons features design Open-Source tools requirements	The goal of this stage is the creation of requirements specifications, which sum up all preliminary work - how many hierarchies there are to split user permissions of the system. Who shall get access to what, what should the front end look like, what functions should be offered, how is the data used in this context and which tools should be used for development.
database model (ERM) coherences dependencies error prevention relations	The realization of requirements specifications start here with an abstraction of your daily work. All knowledge derived from the data analysis allows us to pave the way for the frontend's logic. The entity-relationship model keeps track of stepwise created data. Any messages you will see later on the screen may be formatted later - it is more important to enable your system to identify which data look promising and which data include errors.
development base system packages interim result adjustments conclusion	The next step is to prepare the base system in respect of all specifications, including configuration of all neccessary open source packages, before developing the interface between you and your database. According to circumstances intermediate results of the system will be presented for your fine tunings to take effect just in time.
implementation presentation test enviroment documentation bugfixes launching	After a short presentation of the whole product you will again have the opportunity to request minor customizations. Subsequently your system will be installed as a test enviroment. If needed you may book our installation support. While you use your product for trial and error, we finish the documentation and fix the last bugs. The development phase gets closed when you are satisfied.
closure user-training user-support administration delivery	If desired you will get user-trainings like in-house seminars or further user-manuals as PDF or Powerpoint® files. Of course these manuals can be included within the system, to have them at hand for all users. Optionally we support your administration tasks, e.g. for faster account creation or in the field of maintenance.
