Data, on its own, is inherently boring!

There’s nothing particularly special about a single Date, a single Purchase or a User’s Login Name. To find meaning and value, we need more, we need bulk data and structured data. You see it’s the patterns in bulk data, the trends, the forecasts, the groups and collections that really provide meaning, substance and most importantly, value.

To really get something valuable out of Your Data, something that You can use as a tool to guide and shape your businesses future, you will first need structure. You need Your Data to be lean, clean and arranged in the most accessible way possible, you need a structured database.

Structural Integrity

Databases are designed to be queried, that is, databases are designed to answer your questions about Your Data efficiently. There are a few different types of databases and usually a “Relational” Database will provide the most robust solution.

A Relational Database is a way of connecting one set of structured data to another, creating a web like structure and further enhancing the information’s relevance to the data.
