Database Development

More than just another development house, Big Step will work with you to identify your company’s goals and build scalable database solutions that meet your existing and future needs. With years of hands on database experience we have the resources to design projects utilizing Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Access, MySQL, Sybase, or Oracle depending on the specific needs of your project.

Along with general database design, development and optimization we also offer the following services.

Data Conversion & Migration:
Have years of important data that you can't afford to lose? Big Step consulting can help bring cutting edge tools and years of real world experience to your migration/conversion project. Regardless of what system(s) you are exporting from or importing data into we can help!

Reporting
Put your data to use! We can help generate meaningful graphical reports and capture relevant metrics from your existing datasets. We utilize both Microsoft Reporting Services, and Crystal Reports and can deliver on demand reports in a variety of formats.

Application Development
Need a custom way to interact with your data? Need simple tasks automated, specialized reporting access, or just want to open your data up to a broader audience? Big Step specializes in custom application development and we can help deliver an end to end solution tailored to your specific needs.

Database Optimization
Companies often notice that as the amount of data they are storing grows, their database performance begins to suffer. Big Step Consulting can work with you to analyze your existing data, identify bottlenecks, and tune your database for optimum performance.
