Our programming team can build or revamp a database-driven website that will help you better meet your customers' demands. Our programmers are proven experts in the field of developing and Web-enabling databases for use on public sites, intranets or extranets.

Our adherence to the Standard Query Language (SQL) for all of our database projects ensures you will receive a scalable, industry standard product that can be managed by your internal IT staff and easily ported to new environments without major additional development costs.

We at Smart Web Solutions know that when selecting your future e-business partner, there are numerous technology issues that make the process difficult. In the competitive landscape, you will find the technologies certain developers use to execute your project as diverse as the budgets being proposed.

If this is the first time you have engaged with an e-business developer on a large scale project, it is important that you choose the right partner. Otherwise you might find yourself redeveloping the project after only a few short months due to selecting a partner that doesn't have the experience and know-how to create a portable, long-term solution. With this said, the main questions you need answered are:


  Is the proposed solution scalable?
For example, if the solution being proposed is a user database, will it handle hundreds of thousands of records? If the answer is no, then the solution is not scalable. Many developers lacking the expertise will produce a solution that can't handle any kind of volume. Sometimes, developers that compete on price will consciously take the non-scalable approach just to land the business. In the end, this hurts both the customer and the developer. At Smart Web Solutions, we recommend developing all of your projects in a way that is scalable and
built-to-last.


  Is the proposed solution industry standard?
For example, if you are having a Web database built that will handle thousands of catalog items, you want to make sure that the database is built using industry standard code such as the Standard Query Language (SQL). At Smart Web Solutions, we use industry standard SQL on all of our database projects.


  Is the proposed solution portable?
Again, let's consider a large-scale database project. Do you have the ability to move the database from the developer's shop to your internal network or even a different developer later on? Are there technical or licensing restrictions that would impede your ability to port the database to a new server and/or operating system? Did your developer program your solution in a language that locks you in to an environment where you can't find future developers to take over the project if you have to? At Smart Web Solutions, we code and license our solutions so they can be easily ported to new environments and taken over by your experienced internal staff if necessary.


  Is the proposed solution something that can integrate with your current and future systems?
You want to make sure that any project you embark on has the ability to integrate with your current systems. While this can be complex, the savings in the long-term are great as you will not have to redevelop and you won't need to support multiple databases of the same information across your enterprise. At Smart Web Solutions, we code all of our solutions using an "open architecture" that will allow anyone to examine our code and adapt it to current and future systems.

With Smart Web Solutions, look no further. We have the experience and know-how to create a scalable, portable, industry standard solution that has the ability to integrate with your systems. What you will find is your initial budget to produce the right solution will be higher. However, in the long run, you will spend less by not having to redevelop when you find your project is a very popular success!
