propagate data. Avermin understands that databases are a key component to most systems and without proper management or design they become incomplete, redundant and inaccurate.

These days with the advent of faster technology across all aspects of hardware and interconnectivity companies are able to produce a large amount of data at an alarming rate. Good database design enables a company access to quality data for decision making whilst ensuring that the detail is not lost and scalability is inherent.

Avermin’s consultants with years of experience on small and large database designs enable them to provide a total solution of review and design that enable a client’s data to meet its requirements and goals.

AMLIA™

Avermin uses its "AMLIA™ principal for data" to build up the design:

  Available : What is stored
  Meaning : What is represented
  Location : Where it is
  Input : Who or what puts it there
  Access : How it can be retrieved

Whether a client has a large or simple data storage requirement, Avermin follows a recursive and customisable design approach to a solution. Avermins database designs are fundamental and can be implemented with any of the major database applications or mediums such as Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, Access, XML, Excel, or just plain text.

design process follows a similar track to the system design process Avermin uses:

 
  • Data Review
      Avermin reviews the data used by current or proposed systems. We evaluate its quality and accuracy along with user interviews and data procedures. It is important that all users of ll and large database designs enable them to provide a total solution of review and design that enable a client’s data to meet its requirements and goals.

  • Data Modelling
      Using AMLIA™ data is recursively refined, extrapolated, normalised and modelled. Redundancy is removed where required and a model drawn up. This is then assessed against access, security, reporting and performance ensuring efficiency and scalability.
     
  • Reporting
      Reporting requirements can change frequently and is built into any reporting specification. This ensures the client has maximum flexibility and minimum support. Reporting mediums can be very different and Avermin has a wealth of experience with areas such as web reporting, Crystal Reports and Excel to name a few.

  • Database Design Specification

  • Although depending on the size of the database the documents detailed above will be supplied.
