What 3NF means

3NF stands for Third Normal Form and is a level of database normalization.
Normalization is a scientific process of designing a relational data model (database). A database attains higher levels (forms) through superior design. Initially, 3NF was the highest level proposed by the father of relational databases, Dr. Edgar F. Codd.

Active Markets

CAD / GIS
Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are often considered among the most demanding technologies. We have worked with both government and commercial sectors to support each, and have worked with many different technologies in doing so. From the desktop to the web, we have worked with and developed effective solutions for our customers.

2D / 3D Technologies
In our efforts to improve the sharing of data in a business, we found ourselves needing to develop various imaging technologies. We do not develop any new fileformats, only technologies to integrate information between standard formats (PDF, JPG, 3DS, etc.) and databases. There are already many great technologies for showing 2D and 3D information, and we have developed solutions that can connect your business data dynamically to those technologies.

Printing Industry
We are working with commercial printing companies to enable widespread database printing services for both traditional and digital printing. Our solutions help both the service provider and their customer.

Government
Of our government projects we take the most pride in our effort of developing a housing management system whose primary objective was to improve the quality of life for U.S. government employees and their families. We have been actively supporting this effort since 1998, and we hope hat it continues indefinitely. We have had experience supporting the U.S. government in housing, engineering and various other activities.

Architecture / Housing
In recent years, there has been a convergence of our experiences focusing on housing and architectural markets in Japan. We have developed both web solutions and applications for the top housing makers, and numerous tools for the top architectural CAD providers.

Driving Forces

Standards
Industry and government have spent extensive funding and manpower on developing and supporting standards for information technology. Many of these standards are proven to be effective. We follow the standards efforts of ISO, IEEE, DISA, W3C, Apache and numerous others.

Open Source
Some of the best minds in the world are behind Open Source software, and so are some of the best intentions. We are not here to advocate it at the expense of your business, but neither are we afraid to tell you that it may be best for you. We keep our minds and your choices open.
