Description

AIMS DataCom builds custom database applications to help small and medium sized companies run their business more efficiently. This means building databases that allow them to get the work done quickly and accurately. Although we have built databases in the past using DBase, Paradox, Approach, and Access, we now use Alpha Five by Alpha Software almost exclusively because it is easier to use (which means initial costs savings for our customers), very powerful, and provides for more accurate data input since it has the best built-in field rule capabilities in the industry. Basic Database Design Philosophy: A good database application can be used with less than 10 minutes of training and should provide enough control over data intput to minimize errors while remaining flexible enough to meet the changing needs of the company. One of the first databases we ever built was created to solve problems that were generated by a 'simple' ordering system that was based on a spreadsheet. The system worked very well for the person who designed it but we soon discovered that there were major problems whenever that person was out of town on business or off work for any reason. It sometimes took a full week just to correct the errors that had been made during a one week absence. It was very obvious, especially as sales were growing, that a better system was needed which would be easier for temporary help to use and would provide better control over the input to minimize errors. ...
