DD-Consulting provides professional and affordable database development and custom programming. Leveraging powerful and feature-packed tools such as Microsoft Access®, Microsoft Office®, and Visual Basic®, you can have custom software developed to suit the specific needs of your business or organization that take advantage of the interoperability and widespread use of these platforms.

Microsoft Access is the most popular desktop database application around, and it allows versatility and ease-of-use through its elegant user interface and power-packed VBA coding.  It also provides excellent interoperability with other Microsoft Office programs such as Word and Excel.  You may not know that databases created for Microsoft Access can also run on the freely distributable Access Runtime package, thus not requiring the additional purchase of full Access for any end users.  Few other database platforms allow this.

 

DD-Consulting also provides custom programming for Palm O/S devices.  These devices are ideal for on-the-spot data entry or data lookup, and we have the expertise to develop software according to your needs and specifications.  These can also be integrated with PC-based databases to provide a multi-tiered approach to your data needs.   

Not all businesses or organizations can settle for off-the-shelf software. With your industry-specific needs in mind, a custom database or software application can be developed for you, according to your criteria. Also, we can make modifications or additions to an existing Access database (any version). 

Here are some of the many databases that have been developed by DD-Consulting:

  SOL Tracker    
SOL Tracker is used by nearly half of the school districts within the state of Virginia to track and analyze results from the Standards of Learning tests, a standardized test that is administered to all school children in Virginia, as well as several other testing batteries such as Stanford Achievement Tests, Ganske Spelling Inventory, Tests of Higher Achievement, plus many more. This software package allows comprehensive data analysis on these SOL test scores, including hundreds of board-quality reports and graphs, easy-to-use data importing and a colorful, simple-to-use user interface.
         

  Animal Resources Tracking System (ARTS)    
With an entire floor of primates, canines and rodents to care for, the Animal Resources Division of Eastern Virginia Medical School had thousands of medical, dental and husbandry-related records to maintain. To ensure prompt medical attention and careful record-keeping, EVMS turned to DD-Consulting to create a database that would track the large amount of information that was required for these daily tasks. Including animal demographics, medical, dental and surgical details, as well as behavioral and hygiene information. ARTS is truly a monumental software package, yet developing it cost EVMS less than 1/4th the price of the cheapest available commercial software package for their industry.
         

  Test Creator Software    
Including both Social Studies Test Creator and World History Test Creator, this 
software is designed to allow teachers to easily create tests from stock questions, using drag and drop, and the answers are randomly shuffled when the test is generated.  It also includes the ability to include graphics or quotes.  The test is generated in Microsoft Word format, where the teacher can then customize any aspect of it before printing.  This software was created for Stafford County Public Schools and Spotsylvania County Public Schools and has been used by them to improve student performance.
         

  Exact Match    
Now in distributorship, Exact Match was originally designed for an entrepreneur who saw the potential of opening up his own singles matching service. With a few forms sketched out on paper, we converted his rough ideas into a software package that mathematically calculates the compatibility between members and automates the entire process. The software handles hundreds of members and automatically prints detailed reports on their matches, with the click of a button.
         

  HVACPro    
The Heating/Ventilation and Air Conditioning industry has very specific needs. Unlike many other service industries, HVAC companies have all kinds of special service plans and warranties that are not met by off-the-shelf software packages. HVACPro met these needs for E.L. Sawyer Heating and Air Conditioning of Virginia Beach, VA. Accommodating their scheduling, invoicing, sales, service agreements and warranties, the software is as easy to use as it is full-featured.
         

  EZDIRS    
Developed for the US Naval Dental Clinic in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, this software interfaces with bar code scanners to automate the logging of dental procedures on patients, and print daily and monthly summary reports.  It also automates the transfer of data from the system to the Navy's DENCAS system, thus saving the clinic countless hours of data entry every month.
         

  Computer Services Inventory System    
Designed to track incoming and outgoing inventory for a Computer Services company, this software made tracking parts as easy as clicking a button.
