Data Management
One of ORC International's core competencies is the provision of data management and database services. The Data Management Services team based in our Manchester Office specialises in this area, with many years of expertise in:
Database Services
Our key philosophy is to design database solutions that will give you greater use of your data and improve your existing business practices. We can provide scalable solutions that are tailored to your requirements, from small databases through to very large databases and data warehouses. We also provide dedicated customer care to ensure that you receive continual support and guidance. Our experience is vast; we have been successfully delivering database services to our public and private sector clients for over 15 years.
Combined with our ORC Data Enhance service that will improve the quality of your data, our database services will ensure that you realise the full potential of your data.
Database Design and Hosting
Our specialist database development team will work with you to design the most appropriate database solution to meet your needs. Whether you require a marketing database or a de-duplicated view of several disparate data feeds, we can help you achieve this. We design, host and maintain some of the largest SQL Server databases in the UK. As well as SQL Server, our team have a variety of technical skills including .NET development, SAS and SPSS and can assist you in many other areas in addition to database development.
Database Reporting
Our powerful database reporting solutions will give you direct access to key statistics within your data.
We can create a suite of reports to enable you to view key and bespoke metrics that are relevant and useful to your business. We leverage the power of SQL Server Reporting Services to deliver dynamic web reports directly to your web browser. We can also provide reports in a variety of formats including Excel and PDF.
Data Warehousing
We can deliver a data warehouse that will enable you to easily obtain business intelligence.
Our team of database experts will consult with you and advise upon the most appropriate solution for your data warehouse needs. Drawing upon our extensive experience, we utilise professional BI design skills and advanced ETL techniques to create your data warehouse and data cube. As with our other services, we can also take care of hosting and maintaining your data warehouse.
