When thinking of creating or upgrading a database, or some other new part of your business system you can cut your IT bill down for that upgrade by doing the following.
- 1. Think and plan what information and data you want to store.
- 2. If there are various users in your business think about what they should and shouldn't have access to.
- 3. Do a rough computer screen layout of where data editing and viewing boxes are needed and what they are.
- 4. Take your time.
By taking time to plan what you want, you will save the expense of Business Analyst / Programmers running around in circles designing and redesigning your data programs. Each time you do a change after a program started, you may find that your bill will go up. This is not because the Analyst or programmer are hitting you for the rent, but rather a program can take a huge amount of behind the seen code, sometimes this can be hundreds or thousands of lines of code and settings. When a change is required this code needs to be rewritten to take into effect an extra piece of information or field that you want on the screen. That takes time and is very expensive to keep doing.
Not only business's get annoyed from program and system changes on the fly. If there are numerous changes your analyst / programmer may become frustrated and annoyed as they have to keep doing work that they have already completed again and again, thus needing to keep billing for there time, which businesses complain about because they do not see the progress as fast as they would like.
