Databases

We specialise in building Microsoft Office and web-based database applications. MS Office systems may comprise MS Access databases, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and off-the-shelf or custom-built reporting tools.

Microsoft Access is a very flexible environment that enables feature-rich and robust databases to be built to suit all budgets.  Microsoft Access applications can support between 10 to 20 concurrent users over a local area network.

Applications delivered over the web are useful for multi-site access and are generally easier to maintain than their Microsoft Access equivalents.

All database software is accompanied by source code and technical documentation, free user support and bug warranty.

Here is a selection of databases created for some of our customers:

•   Clinical Research

•    Genetic Counselling

•    Laboratory testing service to meet GLP standards

•    Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Manufacturing Batch Records(MBRs)

•    Cell Lines

•    Equipment and Assets

•    Intellectual Property

•    Gap year enquiries, applications, travellers, airlines, booking

•    Student-Courses

•    Customer purchases

A Zenone database is designed always to ensure that the maximum amount of information may be obtained from the data - now and in the future. Understanding a client's data flow and translating that into the underlying database tables is a science that is well within our expertise. We ask the questions that allow us to create a database that will meet client needs exactly and for a long time to come. Yet, integral in the design, we create flexibility to plan for future changes; changes that our clients may not have contemplated.

With the database tables in place, we proceed to create a user interface with the utmost care, attention to detail and thought for the user. We watch the way you work, listen to your needs and divide the entire working process into modules. Each module becomes a separate entity of the whole database. A prototype is then produced of module one. There follows a period of refinements to module one where it is tested by several users, who provide feedback. User feedback is logged and the module is updated and passed back to the user for further refinements. Each module is tested and refined in the same manner. In this way we are able to produce and deliver an exact-fit database, a database that fits the client's requirements exactly.

With a modular database, design modules may be added or subtracted at any stage. In this way, database development may take place over a longer period, if a client wishes to reduce immediate costs.
