Services We Provide

Datware Solutions, Inc. offers a wide variety of Information Technology services. The following are brief descriptions of our core offerings. These services are available (at the customer's option) on fixed-fee or time and materials contracts.

Architecting

An efficient cost effective IT operation requires a basic sound architecture. IT technology is consistently changing and determining which new technology to embrace can be a large and costly gamble. We can help guide you through these decisions whether your IT operation is established or just getting started.

Business Intelligence

Business Intelligence (BI) is a fancy name for reporting with Report and OLAP tools. With so many systems creating and storing data in today's enterprise, BI has taken on a life of its own. BI creates the scorecards, dashboards, and review reports for an enterprise. BI can help perform a daily comparison to strategic goals and budget targets. A well configured BI architecture is a key information asset. Let us help you build and maintain your BI assets.

Business Process Analysis and Design

The key to any successful automation project is the analysis of the existing process. Our method of analysis and design is straightforward. The process begins by interviewing all personnel that interact with the process. During the interviews, we identify problems and opportunities with the current process as well as future opportunities that may not be covered in the design. These interviews generate the main working papers. These documents include Use Case Scenarios and Data Element Descriptions. The working papers are summarized into a combined Functional and Software Requirement Specification. This methodology has been proven on many successful projects.

Data Warehouses and Data Marts

A data warehouse is a separate database instance that stores transactional data in format that enables easier report. A data mart is an extract from the data warehouse that is associated with other key line of business or department data. We can build or maintain a data warehouse/mart for your enterprise. Whether you need a fresh eye or built from the ground up, we have the expertise to build it right.

DBA Consulting

Administrating a database can be a time consuming science filled with black art of database tuning. We specialize in Oracle RDBMS on Unix and Windows platforms. The nice thing about having a consultant come in to tune your systems is we will have a fresh eye and will not have all the other day to day business noise that the staff DBA has. We have been working with Oracle since version 7. Whether you need query tuning, backup and recovering testing and help or just need coverage while the staff DBA is away, we can help.

Project Management Consulting

Datware Solutions has handled many successful software projects. One of the services we provide is project management consulting. Our project management skills can help your project come in "on time" and "on budget."

Software Development

We are able to deliver applications for the desktop, the enterprise, and the internet with Microsoft, Oracle, and Sun tools. All development projects require a specification before any real coding can begin. Occasionally we will create small prototypes to help visualize the requirements being defined for the specification. A good specification is the map to create the application. Our methods for building applications ensure that the customer receives the highest level of productivity and quality. Our Internet/Intranet development resources can put existing applications and databases onto your intranet or the internet. These services include both external Web site development and intranet application development.  Here are some samples of our work.

Web Site Development

Our Webmaster has seven years of experience in a wide variety of web site development projects.  Her extensive knowledge of web technologies, as well as here artistic eye and business sense are great additions to Datware. Her talents will create innovative and usable web sites for you.  Here are some sample sites of her work.

Training

Training is usually performed at the customer's site using the customer's data and systems. We believe that this "real world" training is more effective than training in other environments.
