Database Design/Management

Efficient management of data is crucial in today's business environment. Public and private organizations require database management systems that store and organize data efficiently. Even more importantly, database management systems also open new windows of opportunity for better using and sharing the digital data we collect today and in the future. However, developing a user-friendly system that meets your needs can be a challenge. At PBS&J, we integrate advances in information technology with our proven engineering know-how to provide efficient data management solutions that meet your unique demands. Using suitable state-of-the-art database management software, PBS&J develops customized applications that support various data management tasks. We can develop custom applications (pre-and post-processors) that interface with numerous engineering computer models and human-machine interface software to simplify data collection and to turn standard modeling output into meaningful graphics and reports. Our information solutions experts can create simple graphical user interfaces that allow you to edit data from a variety of sources, including geographic information systems (GIS) and organization – specific user applications, to present information in its most useful form.

Some of the customized applications PBS&J has developed include:

• Asset inventory and management systems
• Automated regulatory reports generation systems from SCADA data
• Customized reporting tools for engineering computer models
• Historical data analysis and graphical reporting systems
• Maintenance management systems
• Permit tracking and compliance monitoring systems
• Utility master planning (flow project and demand modeling)

These applications are customized to minimize manual data processing activities and completely automate the generation of regulatory reports, such as daily operations reports and monthly operations reports that are required by regulatory agencies.
