What is Custom Database Application Development?
So what is a database application, you may ask? Simply put, it is a way for you to sort, manage and evaluate data. Since every business model has its own individual business process, the structure and type of data you need to retain and manage is going to be different. Marlian Company can evaluate your business process and build a system that fits your exact needs.
A good example of a simple database application with be for a restaurant. For the most part, a restaurant's bread and butter, so to speak, are patrons in the seats, not selling widgets. But a reputable restaurant will be constantly changing their menu and daily specials. Marlian Company would then design a database that stores all of the menu information and daily special information that has its own private interface, available through any Internet connection, to manage all the menu and special information, with no programming or development knowledge. Take a look at Marc's On Market for a real life example of this type of database application.
Other simple custom applications could be photographer portfolios, inventory information & product information (display, not sales), customer relations management, lead generators and much much more!
I Need a More Complex Application For My Needs!
The beauty of a custom application is the scalability. You don't always have to go big at the start. You can always modify your application in the future to meet new demands and requirements. Once you decide to go with a dynamic website, you will always have options in the future to update functionality and usability. And as long as you have an Internet connection, you can manage your data and content.
As long as we are doling out examples, may as well give a hypothetical for a more advanced and dynamic application. Orthopaedic LIST came to us with a very unique need for an application. This company wanted to be the most comprehensive listing source for all orthopedic surgical implants, orthopedic devices, surgical equipment and orthopedic cme and organizations. Their application allows the public to search by manufacturer, keywords and categorically to find information on all orthopedic devices and products and make product requests when interested in purchase. They also have a feature that allows physicians to submit high resolution xrays of implants that are unknown to be identified, or X-ray identification.
In the back stage, though, OrthopaedicLIST managers have a back end administration area that is secured and log in based, to manage all the products, manufacturers, categories, product requests and x-ray identification requests 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week.
Since the application was developed with the Internet in mind, our applications are written in a way that we can start an indexing process to actually index database entries in the search engines! That's right, an SEO friendly database application for your website can be created as log as we fulfill certain parameters.
