Data Management Can Be Affordable
With good data management, you are able to locate, share, and use the data collected without the redundancy of data. Good Data management software (DMS) is software that takes in various kinds of data and converts it into a single consistent resource, such as a database. A database is a collection of records and database management systems are designed as the means of managing all the records. When data management requirements are met, the data that is needed by a business is more accessible and discoverable.
Different types of Database Management Systems based in data models are as follows:
- Relational Database Management Systems
- Hierarchical Database Management Systems
- Network Database Management Systems
- Object-oriented Database Management Systems
Relational DBMS
A DBMS is said to be a Relational DBMS or RDBMS if the database relationships are treated in the form of a table. The data can be related to other data in the same table or other tables which has to be correctly managed by joining one or more tables. Data in this type of model is stored is fixed predefined structures and are usually manipulated using Structured Query Language (SQL).
Hierarchical DBMS
A DBMS is said to be hierarchical if the relationships among data in the database are established in such a way that one data item is present as the subordinate of another one or a subunit. Here subordinate means that items have “parent-child” relationships among them. These are good for storing data with items describing attributes, features and so on. For e.g., a book with information on chapters and verses.
Network DBMS
A DBMS is said to be a Network DBMS if the relationships among data in the database are of type many-to-many. The relationships among many-to-many appears in the form of a network. Thus the structure of a network database is extremely complicated because of these many-to-many relationships in which one record can be used as a key of the entire database. These have mainly been replaced by Relational database management systems in today’s modern computing.
Object-oriented DBMS
OODBMS represent a significant advance over other DBMS. While other DBMS are designed to handle structured data, an OODBMS is designed to store data from a variety of media sources, such as photographs and text, and produce work, as output, in a multimedia format.

There are a lot of database software programs on the market. Many startups and small companies cannot afford programs like Oracle or Microsoft’s DBMS to handle the collection, validation, storage, protection, and processing of their required data. But there are many that are a perfect fit for small to medium businesses.
Affordable Business Software
One fast-growing company with the industry’s highest customer satisfaction rating and lowest total cost of ownership is a great choice for many that thought they couldn’t afford data management. Thanks to continued customer growth through their multi-channel approach to the market, addressing the needs of all size organizations that have traditionally been shut out by solutions that are too hard, too slow and too costly Profisee, a leading data management software company, is on the Gartner MDM Magic Quadrant!
Another one that is worth considering is Informix by IBM. This secure embeddable database is optimized for OLTP and Internet of Things (IoT) data. They say that everyone from developers to global enterprises can benefit from its reliability, flexibility, ease of use and low total cost of ownership. Requiring just 100 Mb of memory, Informix is simple and non-disruptive.
One that targets the “Average Joe” small business employee with no coding skills is Kohezion. Their basic package includes the creation of an unlimited number of custom business applications! They also provide approved Non-Profit Organizations with free user licenses as well as discounts on their Turnkey Solution and training.
As you can see there is no one solution that fits all businesses as there are a variety of variables that can affect each one and their needs. You are in the best position to understand your companies needs are and how knowledgeable your users are. But, with so many choices this software is affordable for many that never thought that they could afford it. Truth is in today’s competitive market who can afford not to have it?

It’s so nice when business software is affordable! Thanks for sharing this information!!!
Brittany, I can remember when it was a gazillion dollars!
I used to do DBMS project. Good to know about this software. I used to think that most of them are expensive .
Well, from my experience, I agree with you they were exspensive a few years back, although now the market is saturated and exstremely competitive which forces costs down, which equals way better pricing for you and I.
When I first thought of running my own business I knew it could get rather expensive. It’s good to know that there are better prices out there and especially better options that don’t require coding experience. Even though I did SQL in college it’s not something I’m super comfortable with.
I really appreciate your feedback, you are absolutely correct, running your own business can get real expensive! Coding, Blah! lol
being a solo business owner can be expensive these are great tips

I had a boss in high school who had boxes and boxes of papers in the basement of work. This would have made things SO much easier when I had to find a file. Instead I would sift through boxes for hours before finding what he needed. It was crazy!
