Consulting and Developer Services
Bay Place Software has over twenty years experience helping businesses, non-profits, government agencies, software developers, and DoD contractors develop computer applications that are easy-to-use, affordable, and save time. Please call us today at (619) 318-4899 to discuss your needs. We can...
  • Automate your manual or semi-manual reports and data conversion tasks
  • Build a new, easy-to-use interface to legacy data
  • Transfer and convert data back and forth between legacy and new databases
  • Both 'Push' and 'Pull' data between organizations and applications
  • Add professional features to any 'home-grown' database application
  • Provide a web interface to your corporate data for staff - typically faster, easier to use, and without seat licenses
Our process
We use a four-phase approach to develop a solution for you that exactly meets your needs:
  • Scope phase: We discuss your overall requirements and business objectives with you to develop a written project scope that describes what the project includes, a general timeline, and a cost estimate.
  • Spec phase: We prepare a written specification that describes the project functions and data in detail, provides a firm timeline, and a fixed or not-to-exceed cost quote.
  • Development phase: We develop and test the software, data conversion processes, and prepare an installation and training plan.
  • Conversion phase: Includes software installation, customer evaluation, parallel testing with existing systems if necessary, final data conversion, user training, and finished documentation.
At the end of Phase 4, you have trained users, converted data, and a tested system that is in production and contributing to your business objectives. We deliver solutions, not problems!

Fees and Payment
Fees may be fixed or not-to-exceed, depending on the project size and complexity. We typically request payment as follows:

  • 40% at start of Phase 3 (development)
  • 40% at start of Phase 4 (installation, conversion, training)
  • 20% at end of Phase 4 (project complete)
Database development using .Net, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle
We've developed all kinds of database solutions, both big and small, using classic Windows applications, Microsoft Access as a standalone solution, or as a front-end to large SQL Server and Oracle backend databases. We can automate data transfer between new and legacy systems, improve data entry efficiency and accuracy, and produce attractive, meaningful reports. We've probably built something similar to what you're needing - call us today. Results: systems that actually help your business to operate productively.

Websites that mean business
Having a website is one thing - doing business on the web is something else. We've developed all kinds of Internet, intranet (inhouse) and extranet (remote staff) websites that address specific business needs. Many of our web products include 'content management' tools that let you maintain all or part of the website's content yourself through simple fill-in forms. Results: valuable, current websites that meet the needs of your employees, customers, and business partners.
