SQL Server application developmentSQL Server application development – Planning
Working with Microsoft SQL Server, you’ll realise what a powerful and flexible relational database platform it is. But are you maximising the potential benefits it has to offer your organisation? SQL Server provides an ideal platform to develop bespoke applications that can support your business and automate or enhance existing processes. اربح المال من الالعاب

Operating UK-wide, Life IT (www.lifeit.co.uk) are well-established experts in all things Microsoft SQL Server – including implementation and administration of the environment, and development and support of bespoke solutions. There are a few key areas to consider before embarking on your projects.

Define your requirements
With any SQL server application development project it is important to understand the project goals, define the business requirements and set the boundaries. If requirements change later in the project the costs will increase and it is therefore better to have a set of agreed requirements before embarking on the development. Life IT’s experienced business analysts can help with this task. Our processes can aid the production of analysis and design diagrams and documentation of the business requirements.

Design and plan your database
Once the requirements are agreed, the next stage is to design and plan the construction of the database itself. This will involve identifying the different objects that the database needs to hold and the types of information that are required. Life IT’s SQL Server experts have many years of experience in relational database design and can advise on the most efficient and flexible database structures to support the business requirements.

Consider your data
Your new SQL server application development may be replacing an existing system, or perhaps you are modernising business processes that are currently managed using spreadsheets. In either case you may have lots of valuable historical data that you want to retain. Life IT can design and build a facility to take your old data, transform it and make it available within your new SQL Server database.

What about the front end?
You have defined your business requirements, designed and built a new SQL Server database and taken your historical data into account. To complete the solution you will need a user-friendly front end to allow your business users to get data in and out the SQL Server database. This may be a web-based user interface or a stand-alone application that resides on your user’s PCs. Life IT’s SQL application developers have experience of building many different types of solutions and can advise on the most appropriate solution and technology for your requirements.

What others say about us

“Having migrated from IBM Domino to Microsoft Office 360 (Business Cloud), we are delighted with the results – and have 1000 happy internal customers who much prefer Outlook to Domino. Life IT were flexible, fair and supportive when schedules had to change due to other Gurit projects.  We had direct access to engineers and technical staff and a dedicated team who were easy to work with.  The whole project was done in a very friendly environment and I would definitely recommend Life IT for these sorts of migration projects.”

Henrikki Häkkänen,
Global IT Services Manager — Gurit Services AG

“Without the professional and expert support of Life IT, we wouldn’t have had the quality product we now have. They gently but insistently pushed the boundaries of our assumptions during the analysis phase, getting us to challenge our mind-sets and think outside the box. They then worked seamlessly as part of our team and delivered to time and to budget – no mean feat”.

James Hacking
Head of Technical Services—HCSS

“As we’d already invested significantly in Lotus Notes and Domino, a solution that built on our existing investment and skills was ideal. Life IT understood what was important to us and delivered a solution that met our needs. We’ve already seen the number of ‘distress calls’ to the sales office reduce as our sales managers can easily access customer data off line wherever they are and we’ve had positive feedback all round about the ability to update their call reports instantly on the road.”

Colin Mosley
Head of IT—Polyflor

“The Life IT solution has provided us with a significant reduction in support and maintenance costs and is an easy to use, more resilient and more easily maintainable system. As a business that handles thousands of transactions a day from 12 different own brand or white label websites it was vital that the whole process was seamless and, with the renewal of the support and maintenance contract from our existing supplier looming, it was also vital that the project came in on deadline. Life IT achieved this and more as they provided us with additional MI functionality and supported our staff whilst transferring their skills.’

Andrew Kirkham
Head of IT Development—DLR

“Life IT are doing a great job providing a very professional and efficient service. They are almost silently efficient and just get things done – only escalating issues when necessary. Their expertise in the AS400 is a key strength ensuring a real depth to their service and they keep us up to date with advances in technology too. So from an AS400 perspective I have very little to worry about.”

John Geary
IT Service Delivery Manager

“After the restructure I was left with a critical resource gap which quickly needed filling, having worked with Life IT before I gave them a call. Their response was swift and efficient. They now work as a virtual Center Parcs help desk team providing a strength and depth of support. Their flexible working based on a time bank system is real value for money. So not only do I get an expert and efficient service, I have reduced my resource costs!”

Kerry Moakes
Head of IT—Center Parcs

“We wanted flexible support to ensure 24/7 cover and Life IT worked with us to deliver this. Life IT has become integrated into the Bentley way of working and their role has expanded into looking at the technical side of the application as well as the support. “Our relationship has been built up over a significant period of time and both sides have worked hard to develop a supplier/customer relationship that can be used as a model throughout Bentley. We are now in the position where we have a pro-active partnership, Life IT are treated as part of Bentley, and that is a credit to them”.

Senior IS Manager—Bentley Motors
