Consulting Services

We offer a breadth of consulting services to meet the unique information management needs of your organization. From inception to completion, our consultants will perform the required work at your organization or at our office. Our Consulting Services include:

Needs assessment:

The success of any project is directly linked to the initial planning effort. This will involve the interviewing of key staff, reviewing existing information resources, defining system requirements and establishing priorities.

Software selection:

There is a wide range of products within the Inmagic family of products. Let us help choose the right ones to provide the solution you require.

Application development:

Once the products have been chosen, it will be neccessary to develop the application. You may need to manage documents, images, engineering drawings, personnel information, mailing lists, archival and historical information, customer information, books and other resource materials. We will design the appropriate Inmagic databases complete with search interface and customized reports. These may be developed for the desktop or the Web environments.

Product Deployment and Installation also know as JumpStart:

Phipps Inc can help you install the software and then provide initial consultation services, design and set up an application to your specifications. We can also provide assistance with future modifications to an installation - for example, changes to an existing textbase structure or additional report forms.

Optionization & Maximization:

Many of organizations have been using Inmagic for a long time. Some of our earliest customers go back to 1984! Time constraints and sometimes inadequate technical knowledge have not allowed them to maximize their existing applications and therefore not taken advantage of the new features and functionality. Let us help you jazz up your old databases!

Data Conversion:

Phipps Inc has extensive experience in converting a wide variety of data formats from other database systems to DB/TextWorks. If you already have information stored on another computer system, or perhaps even in word processing files, it is almost always possible to convert it to the Inmagic format.We can advise on the feasibility of conversion, the cost and the best way to proceed.

Training:

Customized on-site training sessions for specific individuals or groups within your organization are provided.
