Full Data Management Services
Data derived from exploration and mining activities is your company's primary asset. A lot of money has been spent to derive the data but can you be sure you are getting the best from this investment? Due to poor database design there is often a lot of time wasted managing the database and frequently too many manual processes are required to fully process the data.
Experience has shown us that often the data is not as valid as you may think. Unless you have a very robust relational database management system that can prevent the insertion of invalid data there may be errors that will introduce inefficiencies to your business processes.
SADM has developed a Data Collection and Management Solution that minimises the opportunity to introduce invalid data. We specialise in validating and migrating legacy data from existing systems into our optimised SQL Server based data model and by utilising configurable import validation rules and functions written into the database you can be assured that the data you are working with is correct.
- Do you have a reliable in-house DBA (Database Administrator) to look after your mission critical database, or are you distracting another person to do the job rather than what they were employed to do?
- How much would you pay for this in-house person if they were on staff?
- Does it seem to take a long time to get data into the database only to find it is invalid or misplaced?
- Have you ever seen values from one element accidentally loaded into the wrong column?
- Does it take forever to get the data back out in a standardised, useable format?
- Are you unable to easily interrogate the database?
- Can you be assured that you are accessing all the available data?
If you answered yes to any of these questions or are unsure then you need to discuss with us how we can help you. SADM offers a cost effective out-sourced alternative for you.
