This page is dedicated to listing some of the challenges you might face and for which The Journey of Data can provide you solutions:

I have a blueprint for my software but want a second opinion

Custom Software Development is a cost-intensive endeavor. If you want to make sure about its success, a second opinion by a Ph.d. level expert might give you the assurance you need and opportunities for improvement where possible.

Solution: The Journey of Data help you review your blueprints (Specifications, Implementation Plans, Database Models, Programming Models, System Architecture plans, etc.)

My software team is stuck. I need advice

Nobody can know everything. So your development team might get stuck with challenges often involving high complexity or new areas.

Solution: The Journey of Data can provide you and your team with Consulting Services and Support.

My new software is too slow! What can I do?

Software Scaling and Optimization is a common challenge for Custom Software Development.

Typical parameters are
– the amount of data to handle,
– the way the data is handled
– the way the data is extracted or retrieved
– the servers’ capacites
– possibly interlocking processes and generally competing processes

The resolutions are as many as the challenges. Each system must be analyzed and optimized according to its performance challenge and diagnosis.

My database takes too long!

Database optimization is complex and depends on many parameters.

In many cases, software has been built without a realistic database (load) in mind. Then, when the system grows, unforeseen amounts of data need to be manipulated, transported, calculated, filtered. Locks might lead to competition in heavily parallel interactions.

Some problems don’t appear until a critical threshold is reached and then make it virtually impossible to use your system.

 I think my software should perform better, but …

Software Architecture, System Load, Data Formats, Server Hardware, Programming Methods, Programming Frameworks, Database Models, Query Models and many more factors are at work when software is slow.

I want to interactively analyze my data using QlikView

QlikView is a powerful software able to provide deep insight into your business within a few clicks. However, the dashboards are complex to set up and challenges appear also on the level of what to put in the dashboards.

I need a new software, but don’t know where to start!

A software project should be well planned and needs the committment of all essential stakeholders.
Often a Process Analysis Workshop possibly combined with a Requirement Analysis Workshop are a good start to get the needs and requirements document and to start finding your perfect software or have it developed.

Solution: The Journey of Data can consult you and do the workshops, create the Requirement Specifications and the RfP.
