Customized Database Development:
The Institute builds customized databases to accomplish
your specific research, business, and other needs. Databases can be
customized for specific archaeological sites, particular research agendas,
social science lab projects, field surveys, literature reviews, and
other research needs. Databases are compatible with all Microsoft software,
most statistical software (i.e., SPSS, Excel), standard GIS software
(i.e., ArcGIS, ArcView), and other software depending on your specific
needs.
We have developed numerous private databases for government
agencies, private firms, individuals, and other agencies over the years.
All databases built for clients are completely relinquished (i.e., we
give you the source code) so that you can update and maintain them with
no further costs. We build our databases on common, public accessible
software so that they are compatible with other programs, i.e., Microsoft
Word, Excel; Corel Wordperfect; ESRI ArcGIS; MapInfo; SPSS; etc.
The following examples are databases created by the
Institute to help researchers in their perspective fields. Contact
