We Listen

After your employees, your data - the information that drives your business - may be your most important asset. It is important to us to fully understand your unique business model and your specific data management needs. We work closely with our customers to provide the solutions that you need.

Accessible, Affordable, Secure

Whenever possible, John likes to provide customers with open-source database solutions. Not only does this save the customer thousands of dollars in license fees, but open source languages and RDBMS systems have proven to be far more stable and robust than many of their proprietary counterparts.

Rest assured that Database Austin's only focus is providing you with a quality database solution; we do not sell software. Be cautious of businesses that offer programming services who also have business relationships with large software vendors - their primary interest may be to extract expensive licensing fees from your when open source solutions offer superior quality and scalability.

Need to work from home, or from a hotel in a distant city? We can provide you with a solid, secure database solution that is hosted by a world-class ISP.

Especially for Music Teachers

As a music teacher, you know the importance of making information available to your current and prospective students – you schedules, contact information, teaching philosophy, recommended resources, perhaps a student handbook.

A great way to provide this information is through a web site. It is affordable, easily updated, and allows you to provide resources such as music, photos from recitals, and play-along scales and drones.

Database Austin can help you every step of the way. You provide the pictures and text, and we will create your web site, scan photos, help you with domain registration, and provide you with personalized email accounts. To see an example, please visit the web site for Carrie Neuner (my son's violin teacher!) at stringeducator.com. We provide the computer expertise, you supply the musical talent!
