Archive
Conversion:
Your
"paper to digital" archive conversion
is often the first critical step a small
business can take to begin Web or database
development.
Archive conversion can be labor-intensive
and must be done with accuracy and speed.
Let us turn your dusty paper business
archives into vital, dynamic information
and watch your profits grow! This is especially
true for our small business clients that
have become "swamped" by their own success!
Examples
of paper to digital conversion:
Customer
records are extracted from paper receipts,
log books, notes, or rosters and entered
into a database. Then this critical information
can be easily searched, analyzed and targeted
for mailings and promotions.
Inventory
records are extracted from paper records,
invoices or tag slips and brought into
a database so you can know exactly where
your money is, when to offer "specials,"
and when to reorder. Sketches or line
art are scanned, formatted, and converted
into Web-ready graphics or illustrative
diagrams for your online viewers. If your
small business needs to begin digital
conversion of your valuable data, contact
us.
If you want your team to begin the conversion
process, Post Media Inc. can get you started
with a spreadsheet of customer and inventory
records that your team can complete. Onsite
or remote training is available.
Database:
Our
approach to organizing your data starts
with you and the unique needs of your
small business. What incoming information
is critical to your decision-making process?
What information deserves to be archived
for periodic review?
Let Post Media Inc. analyze your information
flow and create a database to generate
logical reports, charts and interfaces.
Good database design can minimize errors
and wasted time by allowing you and your
team to only enter information once. Then
your data is instantly organized for future
reference and analysis.
Online
commerce projects generate a large volume
of inventory and sales records. Don't
get flooded with information! Get organized
and be ready. Smart database design will
allow you to monitor your bottom line
easily. This frees up your time to attend
to your customer service and business
activities.
One factor determining the cost of database
development is the current status of your
data. Are your inventory and customer
records currently entered into a computer
program such as Quickbooks or Excel? If
so, your project is off to a fast start,
and will have a lower price tag.

to your project, be sure to read our archive
conversion section.

Systems
Analysis:
Getting
the Requirements Right
The key to successful systems development
and implementation is "Getting The Requirements
Right". Many of the problems associated
with implementing new business systems
and the enhancement of existing business
systems are attributable to business requirements
issues. These include definition, feasibility,
specification, communication and modification.
Bridging
the Gap between Business and Information
Technology
There are numerous bespoke and formal
methods for managing the analysis phases
of system projects. However, the key to
managing the requirements stages is in
the ability to practically apply methods,
skills and knowledge together with a robust
process for interfacing between the business
and technology areas within the project
environment.
The
requirements of the business have to be
accurately defined so that the return
on investment of the project can be achieved.
Without effective management and application
within the requirements phases the probabilities
of achieving the business objectives are
significantly reduced.
No organisation can afford to employ enough
business systems analysts to meet the
peak demand for new and existing systems
projects and this causes opportunities
to improve the business being missed or
delayed.
How
Can We Help?
Post Media specialises in the provision
of business systems analysis from early
problem definition through requirements
capture and analysis to logical design.
We have a dedicated team of expert business
system analysts who can work to your own
in-house standards where required. We
use the leading industry standard methods
such as SSADM and The Rational Unified
Process or a customised approach specific
to your needs.
We provide the interface between business
and information technology ensuring that
the business rationale and requirements
provide a solid foundation for the development
of new and existing business systems.
We ensure that the skills and techniques
deployed are done so in a practical way
so that both business stakeholders, users
and technology teams can fully understand
the process and ultimately approve the
requirements.
Post
Media Consulting believes that the main
role of business systems analysis is to
ensure that the identification, specification
and communication of business and user
requirements are clear, complete and accurate
and ultimately managed in a pragmatic
and practical way. We embrace this fully
in the services that we offer.
Tracking
System:
Post
Media Inc. business and systems analysts
have extensive experience in the design
and implementation of systems that use
leading-edge Auto-ID technologies (such
as barcodes, radio frequency ID tags etc.)
to track the movement of both people and/or
items.
