Data Design has provided purpose-built software solutions for many industries and agencies since 1986. 



Project Philosophy:

Our philosophy of software architecture is driven by the practical needs of our customers, instead of relying on the wish that specific technologies will somehow provide the fix.

If your organization has experienced the frustration of a long and costly implementation, only to find that the end product fills few of the original requirements, then you have seen the natural consequences of the technological approach to software based solutions.  If this disappointment is followed by a project to phase out the system in favor yet another system that is selected, procured, and implemented using all the same methods, then it's time to try a different approach. 


Project Management Method:

We refer to our project-management method as "collaborative integration", because all successful projects pull their talent from a diverse pool of skilled and caring contributors, and deliver solutions that work within a changing landscape of existing legacy systems.  Data Design will assemble the team needed to integrate with any system you have, and to perform any needed migration into Fleet Express USA.


Project Focus:

Our project focus remains on the end product; not the technologies used to produce it.  Experience shows that a focus on anything else is like taking your eye off the ball.  By keeping all phases of the project focused on the end-user's application software, we never lose sight of the factors that create a successful result.  Even though needs such as up-stream reporting may be seen as originating away from the end-user, it is still that end-user that must provide those reports.  Using this trickle-up approach to information management tends to produce a system that can meet the needs of the managers "on the ground" while maintaining all of the data needed for executive or legislative reporting.


If you receive funds from the US Government, then you can think of GPRA reporting requirements as a good test of proper system design and integration.  If your current system requires you to "jump through hoops", or "guess" at your GPRA numbers, then you're living with an example of poor system design.  When GPRA is required, it will not be satisfied with any integrity unless it is implemented in a manner that is both seamless and transparent to the end-user.  Fleet Express USA has all the hooks for GPRA built-in.
