Database
The heart of 2Plus2’s technical approach to application development is the entity-relationship (ER) database design method. Modeling the database design allows us to explore and map the application features identified in the requirements and specification process from the database layer up into application programming architecture itself. For example, stored procedures can be designed to either include significant amounts of business logic or leave this to application level programs. We base these pivotal decisions on our analysis of the overall complexity of the database model. The more complex the database, the greater the advantage of bundling logic into the stored procedures.
2Plus2’s database modeling experience includes transaction oriented data systems as well as data warehousing reporting and web-based content management. Using an accurate data model guides the programming process and allows development to proceed in an organized fashion without surprises and interruptions.
