Why Custom Database Design?

There are many reasons why you might benefit from custom database design (part of and sometimes referred to as custom software development) rather than continuing to use off-the-shelf software:

You or your staff find yourself spending too much time trying to manage multiple spreadsheets, word processing documents and other documents to manage your business.
Your business data has redundancy; for example you have to enter client details in multiple places, resulting in poor effeciency and management.
There is no consistency in the way you or your staff operate, so your staff waste time in collaboration and internal management is awkward at best.
Sharing business information around your workplace is inefficient or impossible.
Your Off-the-shelf solutions don't match your business model or they are forcing you to do things in a way that is confusing and/or counterproductive.
The way your business data is stored is not consistent or is unstructured, making analysis of that data extremely difficult or impossible.
You want a centralised and efficient method of managing, storing and reporting on your business information.
You or your staff repeat the same processing of information periodically to produce internal reports, when you know it should be simple.

These all break down into two major categories: Efficiency Improvement and/or Storage and Retrieval Improvement. Either you need your computer software to do what you need it to do, but with increased simplicity and increased efficiency or you need to improve the way your business data is managed so that you can store and recall that data more reliably and more easily.

Time is money! The more efficiently your business software operates, the more time it saves you. If you have a business with many employees or users, that time saving is multiplied by your staff and can make a staggering difference to your business. You (and your staff) spend less time processing data and chasing documents and spend more time doing what you do best - running your business!

When Should I Stick to Off-The-Shelf Software?

There are also reasons to argue that off-the-shelf software is preferable over custom database design:

Your off-the-shelf software matches your needs precisely.
You don't have the resources to afford custom database design.

Don't be fooled, custom database design is expensive compared to off-the-shelf software, but we see those costs as an investment; you will recover that investment in increased productivity. Sometimes that can happen very quickly!
