Of all the building blocks that go into a successful application development and deployment, the foundation upon which all others
stand is arguably Data Management. Whether transmitting statistics to a correspondent, requesting information from a Web user,
printing summary reports, or any combination thereof, the common ground is making use of data.
At DSC we recognize that an application is only as good as the data it houses and we take great pride in our experience and ability
in managing what goes in and what comes out. Our systems make our customer's data work for them and give them the peace of mind
that what they rely upon is accurate.
The challenges our clients face are common to most companies and we can help you just as we have helped them. Some of the typical
issues they face are listed below.
 |
- Integrating a hodgepodge of enterprise-wide or localized datasources. These can include mainframes, MS Access,
MS Excel, Lotus Notes, Client-server databases like SQL Server, etc.
- Retrieving external data from vendors and 3rd party sources. This can come from electronic feeds, emails,
proprietary Web sites, downloads, etc.
- Ensuring integrity of stored data. Once the data is in place, it must be safeguarded against accidental
corruption or loss by preventing user error/misuse, malicious attack, or system failure.
- Eliminating Paper. If data is supplied in paper format, digital archiving can prevent endless shuffling,
photocopying, and misplaced items. If data is effectively presented online, printing needs can be drastically reduced.
- Sharing information with interested parties. It is frequently helpful to provide data to detached internal
groups or outside correspondents. This can be facilitated by enabling systems with email and output capabilities for
one-way transmissions or via the Internet for two-way interaction.
