Database management software is crucial in modern business. There is even no need to say how useful and irreplaceable it is – providing security, the structure of documents, multi-user access, and other options. It is a perfect decision for large as well as for small companies. The amount of information that comes daily is really huge, and it is important to “keep it in mind”, better to say – in a system.

Types of Database Management systems

There are several types of base DBMS. Each of them is suitable for different activities and spheres of business.

So here they are:

  • Network database – information is divided into branches (hierarchy) and belongs to owners; this type of relationship is called many-to-many and has the option of having more than one parent. 
  • Hierarchical database – this is a one-to-one system (relationships between parent and child), it is a tree-structure database that gives access to some information on a definite level of a child.
  • Relational database – a system that consists of multiple tables with columns and rows that communicate and share information between each other, also it uses SQL for queries in relational DBS including inserting, updating, deleting, and searching records.
  • Object-oriented – system that stores information in the form of objects with diverse types of relationships, also, this database system increases the semantics of C++ and Java.

The first step of any new development is an exploration that consists of three options – check-in, quality control, and the last one – a release. Check-in is a base step where you describe everything that you want to have in your database management system – the type of system that will be most suitable for your business, it depends on the sphere of your activity and the size of the company. Also, you will be asked for general information, photos, checklists. 

After discovering all your business needs, the Business Analyst creates specifications that contain a bigger part (epics) that in turn are divided into smaller parts (user stories). It helps to cover any tiny detail about your future database management system to make it most suitable for your particular business. 

Design is one of the important things in software development. It is not just about customizing but about clickable visuals and continents in the usage part. One of the main tasks of developing a database system is not just functional but visual part that associates with your company, so your employees could easily use all the options of a system. UI and UX are very important,  and we pay much attention to it while developing software.

Benefits of custom database management software

As the amount of data in business is constantly growing, it has to be managed on a high level.

The database system makes all these information structures, optimized and filtered for easy access and sharing between employees.

As you can find any info by filters, it makes the work of the whole company faster and exact. DBMS helps in providing a framework to facilitate data quality initiatives. One more main benefit of the database management system is privacy as only authorized users can have access to data of your company.
