Management Information Systems (MIS) are created, in large part, through the combination of the customers' needs and in house development services. These services comprise a complete range of techniques, from analysis through development. Emprise Corporation Systems Analysis and Development services include software design and programming activities such as analysis of client requirements; the conceptualization, design, and development of system architecture; coding and testing; debugging; and installation. Additional services include merging existing client hardware/software into new applications and configurations; data conversion; relational database management; database modeling; and data replication.

Emprise Corporation's systems design engineering services ensure that each client receives a custom hardware/software installation. Pre-existing network/software/ equipment architecture is analyzed, consolidated, reconfigured, and interconnected for system upgrades.

Compatibility and interface assessments, planning, modeling, and data standardization are among the integration services provided by Emprise. Emprise system engineers do not consider an upgrade complete until full integration and customer acceptance testing and troubleshooting have occurred. Emprise's trademark software applications are advanced, automated information management systems, created through the combination of several disciplines.

Emprise's programming staff is skilled in a variety of computer languages, among them Basic and Visual Basic, C and C++, Delphi, Fortran, Java and JavaScript, Common Gateway Interface (CGI), HTML, XML, SGL, and Smalltalk. Services include: user interface design and prototyping; module development and integration of new programs; and coding, testing, and debugging software. User environments include Windows® 95, 98, and 2000 and Windows® NT on database servers and personal computers. Personnel are experienced in Sybase, web-site design and implementation, and local area network (LAN) administration.

Emprise Corporation maintains information-system integrity and limits data access by means of standard password assignment and control. Levels of access can be assigned in relation to the end users "need to know" Security services routinely include "lockable" files, database duplication, and off-site storage. File archiving is preprogrammed to hard-drive, disc, or optical drives, depending on the customer's requirements. Redundant on-line systems can be provided where required. Emprise routinely exercises disaster recovery planning for its software installations, and includes firewall and security system recommendations for all devices where limited access is critical.

Emprise Corporation is fluent in data conversion from pre-existing languages, programs, and files to the language/program/file formats most suited to client specifications. While staying abreast of the latest technological advances, Emprise staff routinely scan, retrieve, compress, reclassify, modify, and convert information for both in-house and client applications, using Sybase tools to convert relational databases and expand network server capabilities. Outdated hardware can be converted from mainframe configuration to client server/PC systems, and older programs or limited languages to modern, efficient database management system options.

Emprise Corporation staff have over 15 years experience providing training in classroom and on-site training environments.

Emprise Corporation provides training courses at the customer's site or at the Emprise Corporation facility to ensure thorough understanding of new installations and modifications to existing installations, as well as ongoing maintenance policies. Hands-on training includes hardware configuration, software applications, and includes lectures, tests, tutorials, and field applications. Retraining sessions are scheduled when the customer has undergone a large staff turnover, or has modified its equipment or added software packages.
