Database / Office Systems Development
The past 5 years or more has seen an increase in the numbers of databases being created by a company and for good reason: they are an ideal way to organise related bits of information that you need to share, search and update within your organisation. But, the increase is due to another factor too: the easier ability to create and link databases to your website and also to your office systems. A good example is an e-commerce website, say, that collects all online orders in a database and allows admin staff to login and view the details, edit the status of the orders, add new products and so on. This system then fast becomes THE ordering system for a company which does away with the need to have 2 separate databases for orders and customer details. Agile.co can build your unified solution and build it in the way you need it built without any extraneous features or “workarounds”. This ‘bespoke’ software development service centred around database design is at the heart of what Agile.co does every day so call us and ask what we can build for your business.
Business Email Advice and Setup
Agile.co has embraced The Cloud. This means that we encourage all our clients to make use of the sheer power of the email servers “out there” to manage their emails whether at home or in the business. We have two email solutions providers to choose from depending on how your business is run but both are affordable and offer high quality services including email data backups, webmail support, internal Exchange server support, iPhone and other Smartphone support and more. You can use the same domain name as your website or opt to use a different one – either way is fine and we’ll set it all up for you. Call Agile.co today to sort out your business email woes once and for all.
LAN / SOHO Data Backup Services
The Cloud is also great at handling your day-to-day office computer files – did you know that? We recommend various solutions to help you overcome certain stresses like: upgrading your server(s), backing up locally in a safe and ‘certain’ way, recovering from a fire or theft on the premises and working remotely from home or abroad. Agile.co prefers a hybrid approach to small business data: this means keeping your office’s electronic data on a local device / server for speed and convenience but backing up to The Cloud for safety and cost saving. It sounds like a simple solution, and it really is: call us today to know more about how this new shift in SOHO data backup and management can help your organisation.
Online Tools Setup e.g. Google Apps, Highrise, Freshbooks
Also on the move is the way we buy software in business. Rather than buying programs that are downloaded to a PC or Mac (see more below for our Mac based services), lots of online companies are supplying their software tools over the web via a web browser and charging for usage accordingly. Thus, a small company, who may only have three employees, will pay less for the service than a larger business; think of it as a Pay As You Go service for software. In most cases the contracts are minimal – just one month – and the costs are extremely competitive compared to traditional “bought” programs once you take into account licensing fees and upgrades in the future. Agile.co can get you setup with these tools, teach you how to use them to full effect – like Google’s Calendars and 37signals’ Highrise CRM system, and offer advice on the best tools for your organisation. Talk to Agile.co today about how we can help you take advantage of these tools in your business.
What you Need to Know
* Some technical types tend not to listen to business needs; perhaps you have experienced that already? Agile.co is different because we put the business and the people at the heart of what we do; thus, we listen, verify that we understand you and your unique needs accurately, and then we design and develop in small "iterations".
This "Agile" process usually prevents costly changes to work later in the project and an Agile project means that you can see progress on your website design, for example, almost daily; indeed it is positively encouraged by Agile.co - call, ask us questions, test us!
Agile.co is committed to small business development but uses the latest and greatest technology and good ideas to boost your small business to compete with the bigger players in your industry.
