Database application development
We
always start by listening. We want to hear how things are
done in your business or organization. Tell us your short-term
needs and your long-term plans.
Whether
yours is a small or large project, we will apply our experience
to design a database application that meets your expectations
and your budget. We will explain the process of design, development
and installation so you know what to expect. Your new database
application will eliminate redundant steps and duplicate information,
make it easy to access your data, and produce the forms and
reports your business depends on.
Web applications
Let your customers place orders and
track their status on the web. Put your directory or catalog
online.
Give your employees and reps secure access to database information
when away from the office. Provide file upload/download capability.
Our
database driven web sites can provide you and your business
with dynamic delivery of content. This content, such as customer
information, sales related information and any other type
of data you will need to access can be tailored to meet your
company’s specific needs.

Individual and group training
Proctor
& Peake offers on-site and web-based training in Alpha
Five and Microsoft Access. Your learning experience will custom-fit
your interests and skill level.
Need
a "coach" to help you get started, or to teach you
the difficult concepts?
Want someone to show you so that you
can do it yourself next time? Unlike
many database companies,
we're happy to work with do-it-yourselfers.
Technical
support
Proctor & Peake can provide you with technical
support on an as-needed basis. Using us for support is better
than calling the manufacturer because we will get to know
you and your application personally. You won't have to explain
everything
from scratch each time you contact us.

We
help database users all over the country via e-mail, phone
and Internet connection. A popular option is using GoToMyPC,
which allows us to connect directly to your computer to
troubleshoot and fix your problem.
Contact us today
for details.

Evaluation
of existing systems
We
will sit down with you to go over your existing manual or
electronic system. We will help you analyze your work processes
and identify opportunities to increase productivity.
You
will get our honest opinion. Proctor & Peake will provide
you with our recommendations for updating or replacing your
system, based on our knowledge and experience. If the recommended
solution is within our expertise, we will provide you with
an estimate of the time and anticipated costs of the job at
your request.
Database
upgrades and conversions
Need
an upgrade? Want to add new features to your current application?
Proctor & Peake will advise you on choosing the right
solution to accommodate changing technology and meet your
growing needs. We will tell you what to expect and explain
the upgrade process to you.
Don't
worry about your data. Regardless of the program your data
currently resides in, we can take care of bringing your valued
information into the new application.
"If
there's one person who can help you make the transition
to Alpha Five, my vote goes to Frances Peake."

Electronic
data interchange (importing and exporting)
Do
you need to transmit or receive data in electronic form?
In
today's technological world, it is often more efficient --
or even required -- to share your data electronically with
clients, vendors and agencies. Within your own organization,
you may need to share information with colleagues who are
using other file formats.
We will set up your database application to import, export
or link data. We have become experts in reformatting data
to meet your requirements.
Reports
to analyze your business
Once you have all that information in your database, how can
you take advantage of it to make management decisions? We
specialize in complex reports. Reports can be printed, e-mailed,
viewed online or exported to a spreadsheet or other file format.
