Azara Logic’s data manipulation services encompass a range of services designed to help you get the best from your company’s data. The range of services includes:

Data Migration

If you are planning to use data from your database for another purpose you may want to extract the data and modify it before use. We can work with you to define the rules for the data modification and generate the data in the required format. If the need for the data is a regular one, we will be able to provide you with a suitable tool from which to kick off the process.

Data Integration

Increasingly clients are asking us for data integration services. Frequently there are multiple different software applications within a business and most of them are using similar data. Rather than keying the information in multiple times, with data integration we can help you to pass data between systems seamlessly. You may have a transactional system and an accounts system running in parallel – have you considered using data integration to automatically update the accounts system rather than have somebody re-key the information. Through data integration we can make your data available over the Internet to other companies or other systems, even if at first glance the systems seem incompatible.

Data Cleansing

Our data cleansing service can help you to tidy up your database by

• removing duplicated records
• identifying widow and orphan records (ie sales orders with no sales order items, or order items with no corresponding sales order).
• Bulk data updates to update data quickly rather than doing it by hand (eg telephone number code changes)
• Implementing rules that will enforce the integrity of the database and prevent future problems

Data Recovery

Do you have an access database that has ceased to function and there appears to be no way to fix it due to the password protection? Do you have a SQL Server database that has collapsed and you are struggling to resurrect it from a backup? In either situation our data recovery services can help you to recover the data and get you back up and running quickly.

Data Analysis

Sometimes all that is needed is to understand the impact of data within an application. All to often software is developed over time and as the years pass, so too does the knowledge of how bits of that information are used elsewhere. With our data analysis services we can help to unravel your current application and provide information on the use of certain data within the system’s logic. In effect, we reverse engineer the business rules that are coded within the system.
