Alko Page Software (APS) is a software and database consulting company. We
design, implement, and document all phases of business solutions.
As new tools evolve, our consultants develop skills with those
tools and the ability to evaluate when the use of the tools is appropriate. Out
staff has a working knowledge of the most recent tools as well as tools that
have been used for a number of years.
As proud as our staff is of their technology skills, they are just
as proud in delivering to the client a truly usable solution. At APS we do not
enjoy using the latest development tools on a project unless it results in a
usable solution for our client. Development tools are only useful if the
resultant solutions are useful.
The APS staff stays recent with the new development tools and
methodologies. We are comfortable using object oriented design and
methodologies such as UML. We have also used many development tools including
the more popular recent development tools such as
-
C++
-
Java™
-
Perl
-
Visual Basic™
-
J2EE™
The newest popular tool is not necessarily the correct tool for
your application. Our staff learns the newest technologies and also knows the
strengths of many tools in order to be able to say which tool is a good tool
for different situations.
Some of our consultants have experience with databases since the
early days of relational databases. Things have come a long way in that time.
If the sizes of some of today's databases would have been mentioned only
several years ago, most people in the industry would have been surprised. Our
company has experience with large and small databases. Some of the large
databases contain several billion records, loading tens of millions of records
nightly. We have had to design databases to not only perform to these
capacities, but to also fulfill requests from internet users. Some of the
database tools with which we have experience are:
-
Microsoft Access™
-
Oracle™
-
Ingres™
-
SQL Server™
In the role of database design we have experience with several of
today's tools including:
-
ERwin™
-
Oracle™ Case
-
Texas Instrument's IEF™
