Data Base Management Systems
Netmation can quickly provide customized access to your local data
bases which can applied to many types of
applications. However, if you require data base implementation
which require access through slow Internet connections, or those
that allow for large numbers of users a Data Base Management
System will always provide far better solutions.
The reasons for this are that with a Data Base Management System,
both the data base engine and the data base are physically located
on a computer server. However, with low end data base products,
only the data base is on the computer server, and the actual data
base engine resides on every client machine. Because there is no
central data base engine with these low end products, there is no
means to centrally manage processing, user problems, queries,
updates and transactions. These is especially evident in Internet
applications where transactions are carried over a slow dial up
access line.
To address these issues Netmation has the capability to offer Data
Base Management hosting services on our Internet site. We can
assist in the full development of applications, implementation of
3rd party software as well as leverage the development efforts of
several companies to share a high performance data base solution.
Where each customer has security to only see their records, but
allow for the benefits of shared development and support costs.
Customer Interaction
Netmation can assist in providing functionality for the sharing
documents, whiteboard sessions, chat sessions, audio communication
and video conferencing.
These capabilities provide potentially lucrative features that is
fast becoming a key offering of a broad range of customers. Some
of the benefits of hosting collaboration sessions are: attracting
customers to web sites, developing customer loyalty, enhance
content, and offering customer support. Collaboration sessions has
proven to be an effective tool for providing online customer
support. Vendors can offer weekly product sessions where end users
get real time support for their questions. Rather than solely
relying on expensive phone support, businesses can create an
integrated online support solution and thereby reduce operational
costs.
Search Capabilities
Today users can easily be overwhelmed by the vast amount of
information available on Web sites and services. In fact, the
inability to locate relevant is a leading cause of frustration
amongst users. The ability to find and retrieve specific content
quickly and efficiently is a key user requirement. Corporations
benefit by providing powerful information retrieval capabilities
to their employees.
