Database Solutions

You should have a CIO, but you don’t. Your IT guy is trying to keep your computer running, fix a glitch on the website, and make sure your proprietary data isn’t being hacked. It’s not going to end well.

How business functions is changing. Your business now exists in more digital dimensions than ever before. Connecting those dimensions and being able to get a picture of what’s going on in your business is what effective data management allows.

Customer relations management (CRM), sales, accounting, HR, production, logistics and housekeeping cannot keep their records siloed anymore. Smaller organizations often don’t realize how much they may be missing, or how inefficiently they compile information provided to managers.

Structuring your data coherently is a vital task as your business prepares for the Data Age.

A lot of small businesses don’t see the value in data planning, or were burned by expensive custom mainframe deployments in the past. Inefficiencies and roadblocks are holding you back, but you can’t even see them yet. The core issue for small businesses will be accessing data not just about themselves, but about their industry and extra-industry structures and operations.

Today, agile, cloud-based data management solutions are cheaper, safer and more robust than anything your IT department could have provided in the past.  

Because it is not a vendor, and accepts no money from service providers, ATC works as your temporary CIO to provide a clear-eyed view of what’s available and whether or not it will work for your business.

Data management is a rapidly emerging field. In the last year alone, Oracle has unveiled a suite of customizable options for small businesses. Whether it’s starting with Amazon RDS or contracting with SAP, continuing education is mandatory for your IT team. ATC can keep your IT team up to date.
