Customer Database Developers

Many organisations find that off the shelf customer database software can't meet all their needs, and turn instead to bespoke database design for a cost effective solution.

STA Solutions specialises in creating customer databases, sales databases, contact management and CRM databases to your specifications using leading applications such as MS SQL Server, MS Access, MySQL, and Visual Basic. Our experienced database developers will design a customer database that fits your requirements - perfectly.

We also provide computerised cleaning of your customer lists to remove or redirect mailings to those who have moved and remove the names of those who have passed away. This reduces mailing costs significantly and provides an enhanced professional image.

Which Database Applications do we use?

We are able to develop customer database solutions in most of the major applications; this depends on the nature of the solution required and our customers' preference.
Applications used include:

Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft Access
Visual Basic for providing database front ends
MySQL
Lotus Approach

Website Integration

Clearly in the Internet age many clients wish to integrate their product, stock or customer database with their web site. We provide this integration using:

ASP (Active Server Pages) with VBScript or JavaScript

ASP allows data in Microsoft Access or SQL databases to be available to anyone connected to your web site.
How it works: Using a web linked database, a user connected to your web site asks for example how many items are in stock. The ASP web site page contains embedded SQL query code typically written in VBScript or JavaScript. This code is passed to the web site server, which uses an ASP code module to connect to the company's database and extract the data based on the options selected. The ASP module creates the web page in HTML and sends the web page back to the users computer providing the information required.

Or....
PHP scripting language and MySQL databases, which works in a similar way without the proprietary code.

MS Access Database problems?

We are also experts in repairing, upgrading, increasing reliability, enhancing performance, adding users in a multi-user environment and moving your database to the Internet.

About STA Solutions

We are a UK based company operating since 1989. We offer custom database developer services, technical consultancy and customer database training to provide our clients with the skills to maintain and develop their own IT solutions.

Customer Database Training Services

We encourage our customers to maintain and build their database solutions, and provide training for company personnel so they have the necessary skills to perform this function. Our customers therefore only have to call us when significant changes are required, rather than for every minor change.

Data List cleaning

Our software compares your database lists with Post Office, Land Registry and Probate database sources to identify people who have moved or who have died. We can also identify where customers have moved to provided they have given a forwarding address to the post office. This is a turnaround service and can provide your company with significant savings in postal material and labour cost when you are undertaking mass mailing.

Our Clients

We develop solutions for organisations that need customised solutions rather than off the shelf packages, and who prefer to out-source database developers rather than have to employ or train expensive in -house programmers. Recent implementations have included solutions for the following industries:

Financial Services	Hearing Aid suppliers
Educational Psychology	Cabling Contractors
Horticultural Research	Adventure Activities
Home Nursing Care	On Bus Advertising

By using our experienced database developers who have in depth knowledge of the applications, customers achieve rapid solution development, enabling them to use their databases effectively to improve performance without the necessity of employing their own permanent database developers.
