Other Projects:
Te Ra School
An independent kindergarten and school, whose customised database is
used to maintain all family and student information, class and enrolment
details, pledges, donations, and fee payments, and provides a simple and
user-friendly interface for the printing of receipts, financial
statements, class lists, school directory, and reports to meet statutory
requirements as well as management statistical information.
New
Zealand Sponsorship Agency
An organisation providing
independent and expert sponsorship services. Assisting this innovative company to
be the central source
of sponsorship information in New Zealand, Steve Schapel was
commissioned to build an effective database to manage this key
information. The core concept of the project was
simple... user-friendly entry of validated data, and effective
retrieval of selected information when required. However, the categorisation of
sponsorship property information is multi-factored. Therefore, the
time and error savings provided by a good database are significant.
Workplace Support Central
As one of the services they offer their clients, Workplace Support
conduct Staff Climate Surveys. This is managed by Lesley Shaw, and in
this case, Lesley has built her own database for the entry of survey
responses, and reporting on them. Steve Schapel was closely involved in
the design stages, and since then (4 years) has served as a coach and
consultant, assisting on many occasions with some of the trickier
aspects such as summarising the data and producing graphs.
Hutt
Valley District Health Board
Hutt Hospital is one of New Zealand's major public hospitals. A
database has hugely simplified the task of managing records of staff
attendance at training events, study leave, and funding details, and
provides management with valuable staff training summary reports.
National Bank of New Zealand
One of New Zealand's leading banking institutions, Steve Schapel built a
customised database for them to manage the bank's purchase of goods and
equipment. Generation of purchase orders, asset registration, budget
tracking, and much more.
Wellington Rugby
Football Union
This major player in New Zealand sport, took the basic 'draws and
scores' data system as developed for
College Sport Wellington, and
commissioned a large number of additional functions, for example
management of referee appointments, and event cancellations. We have also built and
supported 2 other databases for WRFU. One is for the purpose of
managing reported player offences and disciplinary proceedings.
The other is for entries in a public results-prediction competition,
with automatic calculation of scoring, random selection of 'spot prize'
winners, and much more.
College Sport Auckland
School sports administration body in New Zealand's largest city, College
Sport Auckland took the lead from their Wellington counterpart, and then
contracted the development of additional functionality. Most notable is
the provision of "satellite" databases to outside administrators of
specific sports, and the importing of data from these into the central
office's main system, and inclusion of this data in their website.
Cricket Wellington
Yet another major sports organisation to use our playing schedule and
scoring system, developed into a specialised application for the sport
of cricket. This has subsequently been adopted also by Auckland
Cricket and Canterbury Cricket, which means that our system is now
responsible for the management of the draws and results for the three
biggest club cricket organisations in New Zealand.
Disabled Persons Assembly
A simple organisational membership database has been a core
administrative and management tool of DPA for several years. Mail
merging, mailing labels, automatically generates code numbers for AGM
voting papers, and a surprisingly large number of pre-designed
membership lists, and statistical and summary reports.
ASFONZ
The Association of Superannuation Funds of New Zealand is a voluntary
association of providers of employment-related superannuation schemes.
They have commissioned Data Management Solutions to build a custom
database for the management of their membership records, which includes
a multi-tiered membership structure. The database includes the
facility to output data for selected members or categories to a variety
of formats, and also to define and send emails to selected recipients.
NZ Federation of Voluntary Welfare Organisations
This was Steve Schapel's first contracted database project (1994), and
it is still in use today, having been converted through 3 different
versions of Access. Membership details, subscriptions, invoicing,
mailing labels, lists and summary reports.
Motor
Neurone Disease Association
Another simple organisational membership database, in the voluntary
sector. In this case, there was an existing database which we
modified and added functionality to.
NZ Society of Podiatrists
A professional association is using one of our customised databases to
maintain members' details, merge financial and contact data into printed
invoices, record and track association finances, and produce a range of
data listings, and financial and statistical reports.
NZ Institute of Building
Administered by Horwath Wellington, one of New Zealand's leading
accountancy and financial consultancy firms, this is a relatively simple
database, to maintain data of the Institute's members, generate
invoices, track payments, and produce a range of statistical reports and
membership listings.
Strategic Sports
This database contains a large categorised listing of sports
organisations, and companies interested in sports and sport sponsorship.
It is used primarily as a data source for printing mailing labels, and
merging to mailouts for various purposes, including the management of
the prestigious New Zealand Post Sports Sponsorship Awards. As
always, an emphasis of the database's purpose is accuracy, and saving
time and effort. |

For sports databases where draws and results
are exported to the organisation's website, the programming of the website
scripts responsible for the processing of data onto the website, has been
sub-contracted. For this work we use Jose Negron of
Compiled Solutions.
