Custom database applications can be cost effective by reducing labor costs in an office environment. If a unique data problem exists a custom application can solve the problem. Custom databases eliminate the need for complicated spreadsheet applications and other methods used to present complex data. Standard reports can be generated and the costs spread over the life expectancy of the application. Accurate cost estimates can not be provided until the design phase of the process is complete.

Stand Alone Application Costs
Smaller stand alone applications using 5 or 6 custom tables can be created beginning at $1,000.

Client Server Applications
Most client server applications will server data for 10 or more users and costs begin about $10,000.

Web Based Applications
Web servers will vary based on the amount of data presented and the security requirements. Systems can range from $2,000 and up.
