Data sharing is one the biggest problems which face small to medium enterprises - even in this age of high connectivity. The problem is not one of how to connect computers together, but how information is shared across the network.
If you can identify with any one of the following, you should be talking to us right now:
Excel Hell - Vital company information held on spreadsheets
Data Re-keying - Re-entering data from one system into another, or entering the same data on to different systems
Data Harvesting - Having to manually collate information from distributed sources
Data Czars - Mission-critical data in the hands of a few data overlords.
Using our experience of network and application design we can provide a consultancy service for companies wishing to develop their IT systems. By using our Internet Application Management Infrastructure (IAMI) modular framework as a foundation for internet or intranet applications we are able to keep costs for bespoke programming to an absolute minimum to deliver on specification, on time and on budget.
Escape from Excel Hell
There is on particular scenario which we have found is so common, we've given it a name - EXCEL HELL.
This is where a company tries to manage mission-critical processes using spreadsheets, or other inadequate data sharing methodologies. In the worst cases, we have found spreadsheets linked between computers across an office network. A single failure of one computer brings the system crashing down - and there are no back-ups.
We will analyse your existing set-up, and re-configure it as a central database which can be accessed from anywhere in the world through a standard web browser. You data is protected, secure, and most importantly, can be backed up.
Making Data Re-Keying History
We are specialists in linking existing systems together. If you are finding that you are having to take data from one system and re-enter on another, then you should be talking to us.
We have wide experience of solving data compatibility problems, and can help you eliminate time-wasting data re-keying as well as eliminating the errors which inevitably arise.
Let's face it - humans have got better things to do than act as data translators for computers!
Distributed Data Capture
Many operations, large or small, have a distributed work or sales force where figures have to be returned on a regular basis for management reporting. This is usually delegated to a member of the office staff to collate.
A simple Data Network from ISNL can eliminate this burden, and improve accuracy of reporting. No additional software is required - simply log in through your browser anywhere in the world and key in your figures.
Data is similarly available to anyone with the correct acess rights and pass codes to analyse and process that data.
Open Up Your Systems
Knowledge is power, and data is knowledge. Who holds the keys to your company's data?
Opening up data systems gives your employees the information they need to make informed decisions, and shared information means that your company does not rely on a few individuals with access to information.
