Data Management (BACK TO TOP)

The efficient and accurate management of data has been an essential part of every business venture from the time of the Assyrians, with their papyrus recordings, to the binary revolution of the computers. In today’s business environment, the need for timely, meaningful and accurate information can make the difference between a business growing or folding. Knowledge is power and knowledge relies on data; however data can be difficult to analyze and even tougher to validate. To be comprehensively used as knowledge, data needs to be:

  • Widely collected
  • Accurate
  • Scientifically analyzed

The modern IT technology empowers businesses with unprecedented tools at unprecedented speeds, but to tap into the full potential of that power requires careful initial analysis, thoughtful design and a vision for the future!

Using suitable state-of-the-art database management software (Oracle, DB2, MS-SQL, MS-Access) Enterprise 24x7 Inc. deploys customized multi-tier or client-server applications. We develop user-friendly graphical interfaces to speed up data collection while simplifying data reporting (Oracle Forms-Reports 6i, ASP, java, visual basic, HTML).

Enterprise 24x7 Inc. hires only highly-qualified professionals that have a mastery level of knowledge in different scientific fields (engineering, computer science, physics, business) who can also understand your problems and convert that understanding into a solution.

Each project is assigned to a project manager. Each project manager assembles a team consisting of consultants with the skills needed to meet the project objectives. When you hire one of our consultants, you hire Enterprise 24x7 Inc.

Enterprise 24x7 Inc. embeds the business rules of your company into both the database structure and the interface to ensure only quality data is allowed into your information database. The data entry screens are designed to match your standard operating procedures so only the minimum amount of effort is required to enter new information. Finally, Enterprise 24x7 Inc. turns your information into meaningful graphics and reports.

File Management (BACK TO TOP)

BLOB, a.k.a. Binary Large Objects, is data consisting of a logical unique set of digital units of 0’s and 1’s that cannot be partitioned in smaller elements. Almost every modern organization has thousands of files (maps, drawings, pictures, films, ASCII data files, etc.) which could be better managed using BLOB’s and are currently, at best, organized by each section in its own directory structures. A repository directory structure of data-files organized and managed by a group of users for the use and the benefit of different groups of users has several limitations and drawbacks:

  • Metadata is encrypted in the directory path
  • The encryption procedure is difficult to apply
  • Some information about data cannot be encrypted
  • Users need to learn the encryption procedure to effectively retrieve the data
  • Retrieval procedure is complicated and tedious
  • Monitoring is difficult
  • Worst of all, a web-page based on such a directory structure has all the above mentioned limitations

The data management approach employed by Enterprise 24x7 Inc. is based on a database model that respects your organizational needs for data sharing and security. It binds each functional model to the respective software application in an organic and homogeneous structure that models your business reality. Discrete sets of data (numbers, characters, dates, etc.) and complex large binary object files (databases, word documents, spread-sheets, etc.) will merge and interact seamlessly thus, unifying departments and transparently sharing data, instead of perpetuating stand alone databases and reports.

Using Internet technology, Enterprise 24x7 Inc. breaks the physical limitations of your office and the organizational boundaries of your departments and delivers applications that ensure a smooth flow of information throughout your organization.

Enterprise 24x7 Inc. is not bound to any software/hardware technology, so your current needs, your future business plan, your technical environment and your budget can dictate the best solution.

E-permitting (BACK TO TOP)

E-permitting is the term coined to describe an innovative mechanism to allow the electronic submissions of requests and reports in the regulatory environment. Data is transmitted via the Internet in a standardized format, eliminating incompatibility in software and hardware platforms. The process offers numerous advantages to both regulatory agencies and permittees. For regulatory agencies, e-permitting reduces paperwork, eliminates duplication in data entry, reduces the risk of data transcription errors, transparencies between different offices, and improves customer service by minimizing the response time to permit requests and report submittals. For the permit holder, it makes the process less cumbersome, ensures an accurate first submission, minimizes the feedback cycle time from the regulatory agencies, and it provides a convenient way to both communicate with the agency and to check on the status of each permit request.

GIS (BACK TO TOP)

A Geographical Information System database, GIS, focuses on the visual representation of the data in relationship to their geographical position. This technology is becoming increasingly important for businesses that have a need to present their information on a local and global scale.

Enterprise 24x7 Inc. provides GIS database design and management.

Customer Satisfaction Guarantee (BACK TO TOP)

A successful life-cycle database application has the following stages:

  • Installation of development software and hardware (system architecture).
  • Data analysis, information system modeling, database creation.
  • System and network administration.
  • Database administration, optimization, backup and recovery.
  • Development of a customized Graphical User Interface (software development).
  • Administration and support of the application (upgrades, modifications, improvements of the customized application in terms of Graphical User Interface and database structure).

    A database application is a snapshot model of a business reality taken in a unique instance of space and time. As the reality changes from place to place or from time to time, so too the model may require changes. It may mean that a new modified database application will need to be developed and deployed. Continued application support is an essential service vital for the long-term success of any software application throughout its life.
  • New development (new life cycle of the product).

To realize and support the above mentioned application development during its entire life, a company needs an IT department with the following roles/expertise:

  • Project manager – manages the project in term of resources, time and costs
  • System architect – determines the specifications for the hardware/software needed for the success of the project according to costs/performances constraints
  • Database architect – provides data analysis, information system modeling, logical definition of database
  • System and network administrator – provides system installation, assistance, troubleshooting
  • Database administrator – installs and administers the database
  • Database developer – develops the graphical user interface

Enterprise 24x7 Inc. provides a specialized team of consultants with all the above expertise at a competitive price to State Agencies and to Private Companies. Our teams tackle your IT problem, analyze the data, create the database, create the interface, administer the database, define the support system, administer the system, administer the interface and provide on-going maintenance as requested. During the contract life Enterprise 24x7 Inc. provides periodic progress report where project milestones and achievements are presented and compared against projections with your Company team. This allows us to immediately identify potential project impacts and to make the necessary corrections during the development of the project and before its deployment in order to ensure a timely delivery at the minimum cost to you the customer!
