Custom Web-Based Database Design & Programming

 


The Method - Database Creation

Pentagon Consulting Associates has web professionals that specialize in creating a customized database designed for your individual business requirements. We learn your business, and provide recommendations to meet your goals. We then present these recommendations to you, and together we decide the best course of action.

"Web-based" means no software to purchase or install

We develop our databases in MySQL, a very common open-source programming language. This is where the data is stored. To access that data, we use PHP, another open-source programming language. There is no costs in obtaining these languages

How you access the data

Very simply, in a web browser such as Internet Explorer, FireFox, or Safari. So in essence, any computer with an internet connection. The database is stored on a web-server, and using an encrypted connection, you enter your username and password to access the reports that compile your data and present it as useful information.

Reporting

Once we have data in the MySQL database, we can organize it in absolutely any way you want it displayed. Only authorized users can access these reports. You can even assign specific rights to different users.

Security

For sensitive data, we will set up your database on an SSL. This encrypts the data so if intercepted, it is unreadable.
