An organization's data often looks drastically different than others in the same industry - even with the same enterprise software. Data often evolves over time and develops redundancy, inconsistencies or becomes incomplete.
We make sure that we understand not only how you use your data today but how you will need to use it in the future to stay competitive. We develop databases that can evolve over time and yet retain consistency and integrity.
Data Collection
The first step to finding out information is collecting it. With the integration of database technology with all the sources that data can be collected on and through your website, you will be able to see the results of your efforts and make improvements using statistical data to ensure you are on the right track.
Whether you are collecting data through session tracking, member logins, surveys, forms, shopping carts, orders or any of the many other channels to collect data; there is no such thing as to much data. Let our developers and database administrators show you the many ways to collect, organize, utilize and report on the data. Then, use this data to see into the minds of your visitors and improve their experience while increasing traffic and sales. Watch as more visitors buy from your website, recommend you to their friends and come back to by again and again!
Database Design
SpyderHost.net designs website database applications (or database-driven website) that allow your customers to shop and order online, browse and search catalogs, perform research, receive personalized information and much more.
Why website-database integration? Database-driven website deployment offers the ability to separate content from presentation. Development costs are reduced by first storing the desired information in a database or accessing existing databases. Then, graphical designs are created to display different types of information. Finally, the website pages are generated automatically using the graphical designs combined with the data from the database. This approach is much more efficient than creating every individual website page and link 'by hand'.
The burden of ongoing website maintenance is also greatly reduced using database integration technology. Web pages can be updated dynamically by changing the information in the database itself. Changing information in the database takes much less time than manually creating new or editing existing website pages by hand. Creating a graphical layout and design once and merging it with new content is a more reliable way to publish information with a consistent layout no matter how many times the content of the website may change.
Database integration technology also enhances your website's interactivity. For example, an automated search agent can search your database periodically for information of interest to your customers, and it can e-mail the results. Your database-integrated website can automatically alert customers to new product releases or price changes, or forward website-generated leads to sales representatives and distributors instantly.

Database Management
Database management can be confusing and tedious work. Trying to decide how many tables, fields and indexes alone can be a monumental task. Add in the complexity of how you plan to gather, use, organize and report through the database and it can be like solving a complex puzzle. You can do it, but it will probably give you a headache!
Our database administrators have spent years learning and working with database design and management. They understand the complex issues and ask the right questions up front to avoid costly rework and maintenance issues later on. Once they design your database, they will continue to manage and perform preventative maintenance to ensure that your database is running as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
Data Mining
Once your database is up and running, our database administrators will use their experience and skill to refine the raw data into meaningful information.
The definition of data mining is the nontrivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information from data. In other words, data mining is the ability to build a picture out of the many pieces of data that seem to have no relation to each other. This picture will bring your data to life and bring focus to what is working well and what needs improvement. Let us help unlock the secrets hidden within your data and show you a picture that will lead you to a bright future.
