MySQL
Oracle's MySQL is the leading open-source database and offers low cost of ownership as well as excellent performance and scalability for small and mid-size businesses applications such as dynamic web sites, Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP), or business intelligence (BI). Progent's software developers can help you build MySQL applications for Linux environments with PHP, Perl, and Java or integrate MySQL with Visual Studio to create applications with Microsoft C# or VBA. Progent can also help you utilize Oracle's MySQL Workbench to simplify database design, modeling, and administration. To cut the costs of database administration and job management, Progent can help you select and deploy third-party tools that match your business requirements. In addition, Progent can help you deploy and manage the popular LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python) and Oracle's InnoDB storage engine.

Microsoft Office Access
Microsoft Office Access is the dominant relational database for small business and departmental applications. The popularity of Access among both non-programmers and expert developers is largely based on the ease and speed with which Access-based applications can be built and deployed. Access is often used to create friendly front ends to more powerful back-end RDBMS platforms such as SQL Server or Oracle. Progent's Microsoft-certified consultants can help you design and manage Access deployments, use VBA to develop custom software such as specialized business analytics, provide webinar training tailored to your needs, or integrate Access with other Microsoft technologies such as Excel, Outlook, or ActiveX Data Objects. Progent can also show you how to use Access 2010's new ability to create web databases enabled by integration with SharePoint 2010's Access Services. To learn more, see Microsoft Access Expertise.
