Technology that Works

Practical "one-entry" system

Data is entered only once in friendly, intuitive forms. Once entered this data is used repeatedly throughout the system and in reports. Complete and accurate data is the lifeblood of a thriving business. A one-entry system guarantees this necessary accuracy and completeness. As a result less time is required to do the work and the work is done right. This is vital whether you are dealing with inventory, billings, marketing, customer service, or numerous other areas of business.


Significant reduction in paper handling and production time

On-screen reports are designed to Management’s specifications. Complex, multi-faceted questions about the business can be easily answered with reports designed for management. All of our systems have a Quick Report Generator that allows management to ask almost any question of the system. Such queries are key to management decision-making.


Increased productivity using your existing employee base

According to published statistical results from a survey of small business, companies that have embraced technology are showing higher revenue and profit increases over the previous year. "Companies that have networked computers …saw sales increase 7.4% and profits increase 5.1% compared to 4.0% and –0.8% respectively, in companies that don’t use computers." In another section of the survey they reported, "Many small businesses are optimizing the vast amount of information that is lying at their fingertips. Small business owners responding to the survey said that the incorporation of information technology benefited their business communications, customer service, productivity and created a competitive advantage over other businesses who were not wired."

It is the ability to capture, access, and analyze the information about the business that provides the owner with incredibility powerful tools to apply to decision-making, strategic planning, and sales and marketing efforts.


No maintenance fees and almost no training time

Unlike most software developers, DAI does not charge a regular maintenance fee. Our systems function as intended and are extremely stable. Therefore no on-going maintenance is required. We will train an employee to do regular backups, archiving, and any other performance of utility functions necessary.

If the platform in which the application is written is changed and requires and application update, we will notify you and there will be a single charge for this service.

Our system designs are based on the existing manual or computer systems in the business. We use your forms and workflow as the basis for our design. As a result, there is almost no training necessary. On-screen guides and proven user-friendly technology ensure that maximum productivity is attained with minimum training.



All of our systems are designed by one of the most experienced Windows database developers

Because DAI has over thirty years of general management experience that we bring to our clients, our system designs address the needs of management. DAI’s development team has been designing Windows-based systems since 1986 - two years before Microsoft’s had a database development platform in Windows. Very few developers today have the experience in relational database development for the PC and entrepreneurial market that DAI’s group has.

We used Superbase as the solid, reliable base of our innovative systems for many years and are expert in maintaining and expanding systems written in that development platform.  We are shown as a consultant on their website here (link will open in a new browser window).

In early 2008, we focused on new development in Microsoft's Visual Studio 2008 to provide our solid, well-designed systems.  This wide and deep platform supports systems drawing data from many sources and presenting data on the web, portable devices, and client/server systems.

When we work with you, we’re on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by phone, fax, cell phone, or e-mail because we know running your own business is not a 9 to 5 affair. We’re there when you need us. But when you don’t need us, we leave you alone. (After all, it is your business)

To help you get past any concerns you may have, we’ve got a special introductory package that will give you a glimpse into how we think, talk, and work, at a very affordable rate. This package is $650 for 7 hours of consulting or a complete system design and proposal. Our standard rate is $125 per hour. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and Discover.  There are no additional charges for local travel. Short telephone contacts for management or technical support are also free. You may be assured that all information about your business will be held in strictest confidence, confirmed by a written confidentiality agreement.
