Research endeavors frequently necessitate the creation of databases and related applications. UTech offers premier database design and programming services that leverage the Web-based Oracle Application Express (APEX) system. With these services, researchers can produce sound data management plans and create secure and effective systems for their research needs. Because the APEX system is entirely Web-based, there is no need for researchers to purchase specialized hardware or software; it can be used on any computer with a Web browser.
