Our Experience
Database Republic has extensive experience providing IT strategy analysis for California State agencies. We have a clear understanding of the problems that face organizations that are trapped in a paper-based culture where budgetary cuts and hiring freezes have become the annual occurrence. We are familiar with the business strategy necessary to bring real and effective solutions to State Government IT requirements and processes.

Our Goals
The Database Republic goals are:

• To assist State agencies to establish e-systems that can transform and optimize their business processes, and also those of their dependent organizations, by utilizing the latest workflow technology.
  
• To ensure the full integration of automated business processes with legacy systems, both internal and external, and to design and build new supportive integrated database solutions that will further enhance an agency’s effectiveness.
  

Our Approach
The strategy study is the first step in transforming an administration or enterprise.

1. It allows senior management to formulate their vision of the future.
   
2. It defines the information and business process requirements that will support that vision.
   
3. It identifies the critical workflow cycles and the building blocks of database development
   
4. It formulates the development strategy that will see cost-effective and controlled implementation.

Workflow Solutions
It is an outstanding feature of Database Republic’s portfolio that it has established a partnership with the leading office automation package provider, HandySoft Corporation. Database Republic is the prime consultancy in the State of California for implementing solutions incorporating their award-winning product, BizFlow. The expertise of Database Republic staff provides optimum customization for such a package, designing support systems, where necessary, and ensuring a seamless interface with legacy systems.

e-Timesheets
One specific area of expertise that Database Republic has gained is in the provision of electronic timesheet solutions. Many government agencies still have paper-based timesheet systems along with all the inaccuracies, paper-related costs, and extended time cycles that such systems bring. We are the leaders in bringing to State Government electronic timesheet solutions utilizing the outstanding BizFlow product alongside a customized personnel database.
