Access Database Needed: We are a b2b magazine publisher and we produce an annual directory for most of our publications each year. We are seeking to improve our efficiency by gathering our data all in one place and also more importantly, allowing for easy export of our data in various formats, to our different departments. 1. Data Types: To see an example of the type of data we’re working with, see this web page where we collect the data now: [login to view URL] 2. Input Methods Required: We require the ability to have the data submitted both directly from the web, as well as manual entry by one of our staff members. 3. Design: Both a web interface and the admin interface will need to be designed. 4. Admin Control: We require the ability to be able to modify, add, and delete records. We require the ability to make certain records “inactive?? in the database. We require the ability to add additional fields of data or categories in the future. 5. Output: We will require a minimum of 6 customized reports for data output to be built, based on criteria to be determined later. At least one of these will require an XML output to be built for future import into Adobe Indesign. 6. Scalability: This project is for one of four magazines published out of our Boston office. We will also need a similar project completed for the other magazines as well. If practical, after further discussion, we may decide to change the project scope to incorporate one master database which includes 4 sub-directories. 7. MS Access Requirement: We are open to the database being built in another platform provided we have the same ease of use for our admin staff and we have the same ability to manipulate the data.
