BKI provides professional services utilizing a full range of industry standard database system software including: Oracle, SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Sybase, and SQL Anywhere. Our database services feature:
Database Modeling - We will design a database to accomodate all of your data storage and application development needs.
Database Integration - Many organizations have data scattered in different places and in different formats. BKI can integrate these sources into a single database upon which to base a common user interface.
Database Improvements - Older databases are often developed as flat-file systems with one record containing all possible fields of data. We can help improve the performance of the database and reduce input errors by "normalizing" the structure with lookup tables and other improvements.
Database Systems - BKI develops standalone database applications that can run with or without the GIS.
GeoDatabase Development - A GeoDatabase (GDB) is a special database used to store geographic information. We have worked with this format since its inception around 1999 and have participated in helping to develop standardized data structures.
