Cloud-based Data Storage

Organizations are now global in their operations. Employees are often at remote locations and the challenge is getting data from the field back to the organizational management so that timely decisions can be made about how to respond to incidents and close calls. Waiting until a program or course is over to get an incident report form back isn't acceptable. In order to respond in real time you need real time data collection. Cloud-based data storage allows for quick submission of data from the field and instant access to that data by staff through the organization.

Database Design & Implementation

Incident Tracking requires the ability to easily collect an extremely diverse set of data in order to assess trends and plan for program changes. The International Incident Database System uses a fully-relational database system to manage all aspects of the data. We have built the International Incident Database System using the latest edition of Microsoft SQL Server based on its robust data storage capability and its ability to integrate with Web programming technology. The Relational Database Model utilizes a series of interrelated data tables to store the broadest range of data required for Incident Tracking.

 

Web Application Technology

The International Incident Database System is a complete Web Application built with the latest Microsoft Web Technologies. The database is built in Microsoft Visual Studio using ASP.NET 4.0 and brings together the most advanced User Controls from Telerik to create a rich user interface for submitting and querying your data.

Features

There are key features essential for a complete Web-based Incident Tracking system. We've built the entire solution from the ground up with the end users in mind.

  • Easy Data Entry: well-developed data entry forms provide easy data entry.
  • Data Validation: data submitted is validated through client-side and server-side validation code data to ensure that data submitted by users is verified to be in the correct format to be stored in the database (example, dates and times must be submitted in certain formats).
  • Data Viewing: The true value of the International Incident Database System is the ability for users to be able to query and view data on incidents which show basic type of incident, time of day, injury, etc. Data viewing allows detailed searches to establish broad trends and drill-down capabilities to show detailed data in individual incidents.
  • Data Reporting: Advanced data reporting tools that allow programs to graphically display trends for analysis and to document specific incidents.
