At Orpheus Technology we are very passionate about the software we create for you - functional affordable websites which can put your business' name right up there with respect to the major search engines and the Internet, as well as databases that, by saving all your data over the years in a compact, secure and readily accessible format, will give your business a flexibility that you hadn't even dreamed of. What that means is that we have the knowledge, skills, attitude and intention to revolutionise your business opportunities.
Look at the two pictures below:
On the left is the traditional Twentieth Century way of storing data. The amount of data it contains, which we can't even guess at, is governed by the amount of money the owners are willing to pay for what is becoming very expensive and, in this day and age, unnecessary storage space. On the right, however, is the Twenty-first Century solution to the same problem of data storage. This particular unit can store 1.5 terabytes of data, that's 1,500,000,000,000 bytes of data! Assuming the average typed page requires 2,000 bytes that's 750 million pages! And, as you can see, this unit will easily slip into your pocket.
To put these mind boggling numbers into some sort of perspective 1.5 terabytes is the equivalent of 75,000 trees being turned into paper and printed on. It will swallow the complete works of Shakespeare 300,000 times. And finally, the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress in the U.S. will fit into 10 terabytes. So clearly, using modern technology you can store a lot of data in very small spaces.
Storing data in a computerised database also facilitates much more efficient searching throughout the entire database among other benefits which you can find under the Digital Data Storage> Benefits of Digital Data Storage menu option.
Also just to make things clear, we don't sell the actual hardware we showed you in the picture. We develop systems that are installed onto any size disk drive to keep your data organised, readily accessible and intuitive to enter. For a more detailed explanation go to the About Us>What We Do page.
Finally, while medium to large enterprises have the most to gain from installing a well designed computerised database that's not to say that small businesses can't benefit, especially when you consider that the compact disk drive in the picture costs less than $200.00. There are far more benefits to converting to digital data storage than just radically reducing the amount of paper you use and store. All the benefits listed under Digital Data Storage> Benefits of Digital Data Storage are relevant no matter how many records your business stores.
