Database Design

The Columbia Group has a long history of creating customized database solutions to support unique customer requirements. What sets us apart is our ability to leverage our subject matter expertise with our knowledge of technical options available enabling us to re-engineer processes to maximize use of technology.

Our successes come as a result of our proven Iterative Rapid Prototyping approach. We begin by assembling subject matter experts who truly understand the processes with technical experts who know what tools / technologies can be applied to the requirements. We assist with defining and documenting the requirements, we identify data sources, architect technical solutions and quickly stand up prototype applications for users to begin testing and providing feedback. This can often be done in 30-60 days. We find getting users actively involved early in the development process results in much more user-friendly applications that create a better user experience.
