Urban Land Conservancy (ULC) Database

[wdoug]

What is the idea

"Urban Land Conservancy (ULC) is in need of an organizational-wide database. We want a database that can provide a way to organize and access information on all of the organization's stakeholders, which includes neighborhood organizations, non-profit organizations, foundations, property contacts, and etc. We often need to access and re-sort data for various uses. These may include:

Creating mailing lists
Writing management reports
Identifying various client needs
The processing power of the database should allow it to manipulate the data it houses, so it can:

• Sort
• Match
• Link
• Aggregate
• Skip fields
• Calculate
• Arrange"
