Many businesses require a customized program to enter or track information, such as inventory, customers, or employees. Off-the-shelf software, such as ACT! may be too limited for more serious businesses.
A relational, multi-user database allows information to be stored and shared between several employees. Strike Twice specializes in several database solutions. Our favorite, Lotus Approach, is the IBM database program that competes well with Microsoft Access. Whereas Access is more complicated, the nimble Lotus Approach is easier for our small business customers to work with.
When designing a database, you have to make decisions regarding how best to take some system in the real world and model it in a database. While it would be nice if this process was intuitive and obvious, this is simply not the case. A well-designed database is crafted, not built.
With our expertise, you can have a customized Approach database for between $500 and $5,000, depending on the complexity. From that point, you can take control of it and modify it further to your needs. The benefits of an efficient database include increased productivity, improved data management, and rapid retrieval of critical information.
