By asking DDS to provide a database solution, not only will you receive outstanding service and commitment,but we will walk and talk you through the whole development lifecycle. Our initial consultations are completely free. If it helps, we will spend some time onsite, at out cost, discussing and collecting data to allow us to make an informed, precise tender for your new system.

Our experience confirms that any decent properly designed and developed small database system takes at least 20 working days to complete. Large systems take considerably more time. We will always give you an estimated timescale and insist that agreements are in place before we start work on your new system.

Generally the process will be

Planning and analysis
Conceptual design
Logical design
Physical design
Implementation
Documentation
Final acceptance

Good planning and design methodology reduce the need to revisit code during the Physical design stage. We always completely plan and design our systems to the highest degree before we actually start building.
