Our database technicians use the latest technology to program, customize and field your database.  This includes implementing basic and complex functionalities, adding security features, and resolving multi-user issues in LAN and WAN environments.

Art as a science is not a contradiction in terms. The science of human factors captures the "art" of database design. Issues related to the graphical user interface - such as the proper placement of database elements and the use of color - ensure your completed database will meet the needs of the user community. This is especially important in the design of databases with complex functionality. The end objective of the art of database design is to take technical functionality and transform it into a more intuitive experience for end users.

Process Change Requests

Action Item Tracking

This database was designed for a large program to track all requests to change project documentation. The database captures the type of request and key milestones in the document review and approval cycle. Members of DSCI's database team were selected to identify and capture database requirements. DSCI evaluated the functionality and usability of the database and reported recommended changes to the developer. After early builds of the database, DSCI took-over as developer and performed major upgrades.

These databases, designed to help teams maintain accountability for individual tasks, are a DSCI signature. The databases capture team member assignments for small and large teams. Customers are able to streamline the process for assigning and tracking action items related to project goals. Data such as important dates and completion metrics can be archived and used to prepare and deliver critical progress reports. Individual team members can query the database to prepare personal work schedules based on priority.

FixPackage Database

Training Database

The Federal Aviation Administration required a database tool to track reported problems and necessary enhancements on a major air traffic control system. The system is fielded at 20 sites around the country, and there was no central information repository for resolutions to trouble reports and change requests.

Managers of a mid-sized organization needed to track several aspects of staff training. Not only did the managers want to capture the training needs of the organization, but also keep an archive of training actually received. The resultant database is used as a budgeting tool to ensure training needs are appropriately accounted for in the program's annual budget.

Threat Image Projection Decision Support System

Information Security Library Database

DSCI designed, developed, populated, and maintained this database tool. It was used by a major government program as a management support tool for performance analysis of Aviation Security Explosives Detection Systems. We performed the requirement definition, development, and implementation using Microsoft® Access to automate, consolidate, and manipulate financial and statistical data that was transmitted from  operational airport facilities.

DSCI is the Prime Contractor on a major support effort to the FAA's Information Systems Security Division. The technical and program management support includes full lifecycle documentation. We developed and implemented the Library Database to manage the configuration and access rights to dozens of security policies, processes, plans, and other artifacts.
