Direct Focus Software
Direct Focus Software provides business software products and custom services for small or mid-sized companies requiring state of the art access to all the data in your business, all at an affordable price.
How? Simple. We invented some great software. With it we create flexible solutions that are fast, affordable, and intuitive to the regular, “not-that-technical”, business user.
Using our innovative development technology, we deliver affordable solutions quicker than traditional business software companies. Our process is truly modular, so you review the working pieces as it grows – no surprises after it’s too late. Business intelligence, electronic forms, process and workflow elements work as an integrated solution, yet remain flexible and easy to maintain. For example, DFSW solutions are virtually database independent – we use what you’ve got or whatever databases you’d like to move to. Windows or Web (a little of each, or both?) – no problem.
Our current product and service offerings are segmented as follows:
Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence is a fancy term for accessing, transforming, analyzing and formatting business data in ways that traditional business reports just can’t handle. It’s advanced “reporting”, but more. We work with you to create the environment you need to access many data sources and transform all that granular, stovepiped, sometimes unintelligible data, into useful business information that makes sense and helps you make decisions. What’s going on in your business? Where are the problems? Where are you making money? And where are you losing it? You’ll know. Up to date. And therefore you’ll be enabled to react to changes, address areas that need help, or respond promptly to customer needs. Once you’re set up, we train you on your custom BI environment so you can query, analyze and create new reports yourself. Ask questions you hadn’t thought of. Or, if you prefer, we’ll provide ongoing reporting services for you.
We call it “BI for the Regular Guy”: doesn’t cost half a million, won’t take a year to implement, and you’ll actually want to use it! Give us some sample data and we’ll show you what we can do, usually within two weeks! See the Business Intelligence page for more detail.
Electronic Forms
Need electronic forms? Who doesn’t? We create custom Windows and/or Web-enabled forms (our technology does both) you can; 1.) save as complete documents for storage, workflow or distributing, or 2.) link to input data into a wide variety of databases. Create new forms from scratch, or replicate the look and feel of forms you already use. See the E-Forms page for more detail.
Integrated Business Application Development
Need a complete solution? Use whatever database you already have or want to move to – our solutions are database independent. But you’ll have better access than you do now. Use us to fill in the gaps between your existing applications or grow a comprehensive business solution incrementally: solutions that incorporate data, electronic forms, and business intelligence with custom business logic and workflow. Our staff has years of experience creating advanced business solutions for medium-sized and large enterprises. Go to the Integrated Applications Development page for more details.
