Meadowlark Technology began database development seventeen years ago, and we still believe that a well designed database is the key to a successful business. Our extensive experience of this field has not, in any way diminished this belief.
We have developed bespoke databases for some of the best known organisations in the UK.
We are told our work is excellent, and our customers have no hesitation in returning to us for further work.
Our database work can be split into a number of database development categories
Some of the types of databases we have developed are:
Databases can fulfil a critical role in an organisation, and in the past this has been reflected in the way database applications and their data have been secured, safeguarded, and generally protected in every way possible from threats.
Well managed databases are backed up, they run over secure networks, only trusted users have access to them, and the hardware they run on is under lock and key.
Ironically, though databases are arguably more important to businesses now, it seems likely that vast numbers of these systems will disappear.
Business servers will be phased out and shut down. Backup repositories will be destroyed, and their data wiped, and software and hardware companies will have to make fundamental changes to the way they operate.
The reason there are such clouds on the horizon for the IT industry can be attributed (ironically) to progress, and something called Cloud Computing.
Cloud computing will result in software running not on the client computer (the local PC) but on some distant server, not necessarily in the same country.
Computer users will pay for software on a per-use basis. And when they no longer want to pay, the service will be withdrawn.
Likewise, data will be stored remotely, and paid for per month per gigabyte
This has enormous implications for the way software is used. Potentially it may save users money. It may - at the very least- raise a minefield of security and intellectual property issues.
