BCP have vast experience in designing and maintaining databases, including online databases that are part of data-driven web applications, real-time calculations, time-critical systems, large or small databases. As well as these technical skills, BCP can provide data entry services.

Using the right database system will greatly increase the productivity of any organisation. Freed from the limitations of the available “off-the-shelf" software, a business can compete effectively in today’s market with a system specifically designed to assist and support them.

BCP has the expertise and experience to design a customised database solution to fit every scenario. Primarily using MySQL and FileMaker Pro, BCP has the ability to provide as much web connectivity to databases as required, including fully functional, secure database systems that are only accessed through a web browser. BCP have been able to satisfy the database requirements of Palm Sales Australia Pty Ltd, as well as companies such as Cisco, Novell, Apple and IBM.

Choice of tools

BCP’s broad experience enables it to be able to use a wide range of database tools and to accommodate the particular requirements of a customer. However, BCP’s tools of choice are:

FileMaker Pro

Within the Asia Pacific region, BCP have some of the most highly experienced specialists in FileMaker Pro - a relational desktop database product. In this region we provide technical support to FileMaker Inc, including technical support staff and the design of their customer administration, product ordering, registration, invoicing, licensing and stock records system.

FileMaker Pro is a comprehensive system covering the needs of customer service and fulfilment organisations. Special features allow BCP to quickly provide statistics and full-length reports on any aspect of a client's business.

MySQL

MySQL is an Open Source Database, designed for speed, power and precision in mission critical, heavy load use. It also provides great versatility with regards to operating systems and excellent communications with web technologies such as JSP (a favourite with BCP). These factors, coupled with the ability to handle large amounts of traffic and many simultaneous requests, easily make MySQL a design tool of choice for BCP since many online promotional sites require complex calculations and heavy data collection.

BCP has found Data Manipulation to be a crucial part of any database system. Data derived from a number of different sources can be inconsistent and unclear.

When merging databases from multiple sources it is important not only to remove duplication of data but also to clean it. For marketing materials to reach the right person at the right time it is necessary that data is consistent. Also, if data conforms to Australia Post guidelines, mailing costs can be significantly reduced. BCP has developed fast and efficient methods to clean and combine data, saving time and money for its clients.

BCP’s expertise extends to management of databases; a service we provide to a number of large companies. BCP can extract correct information from a database, providing clients with what they need to know, when they need to know it.

BCP see a database as a vital company resource, requiring maintenance, updating and to be kept secure with online client access. Clients can download extracts of their data anytime, anywhere, with the comfort of knowing that the data is accurate and secure.

All of BCP’s data entry staff are trained and experienced in the correct entering of data. Online or offline, BCP has vast experience in entering data in Australia and New Zealand as well as most Asia Pacific countries.
