• Data entry forms design and creation
• Report design and creation

Database design and creation

There are two considerations when thinking about your data: getting it in and getting it out. One stores data only because one wants to use it again. Using it takes the form of generating reports. Reports can be of many kinds and for many purposes, e.g. a report can be an invoice, a list of clients owing money, a list of reps servicing a certain area or a list of clients with orders totalling so much between two dates. Therefore meaningful reports are only possible if the database was correctly designed.

Data migration

Data migration is the process of transferring data between storage types, formats, or computer systems. Data migration is usually performed programmatically to achieve an automated migration, freeing up human resources from tedious tasks. It is required when organizations or individuals change computer systems or upgrade to new systems, or when systems merge. Data migration is a complex task that requires a lot of planning.

Data entry forms design and creation

Data entry operators need forms connecting to the database to enter the data. These can be html forms, like those found on web-pages, or proprietary forms, like those of Microsoft Access, or open source forms.

Report design and generation

Reports are for looking at the data in your database. Mostly, they are laid out to be printed. Reports are not used for data input at all.
