World Databases

 

These databases provides commercial intelligence on industries in over 200 countries. The database analyses the world Demand with a basic point of reference, namely a base reference country.


These reports give both a narrative description of the matters covered as well as provide users the ability to directly use the Chapters (via Microsoft Word) to produce their own reports and documentation. Experienced users will be able to use the spreadsheet and databases to generate detailed narrative reports, charts and graphics - as well as sophisticated business and commercial forecasts and models. The databases are provided in both Excel spreadsheets and an Access database. Explanatory notes are provided as Word or PDF formats.

 

As an entry level product the narrative is necessarily illustrative in its terminology and seeks to provide a basic degree of business logic and theory which indicates the rational applied in the forecasting and modelling methodology.

 

The databases are specifically designed to provide users with a uniform and consistent numeric measure of both (normally) quantifiable values as well as conceptual factors which are (usually) only capable of qualification. Experienced users will know how to apply forecasting and modelling software to the numeric data provided to generate highly detailed and discrete business planning models. The databases provided in this report can be used directly with databases on other product, markets and industries in other countries. The databases are specifically designed to be transnational, currency neutral, inflation and purchasing parity adjusted, product parity and product equivalent adjusted, opportunity cost adjusted, and numerically compatible; they all can be linked or merged programmatically in business planning models to provide multi-national and multi-level analysis. 

 

The databases are designed to give a common definition, unit of measure and quantification of demand in over 200 countries. These rely on data collection at various levels of the product flow; this effectively means: the producer, the distribution channels and the end user or consumers. This data is then correlated with any national and international statistical data produced by official agencies. Unfortunately, product flow data gathering in some countries is difficult, and furthermore the official statistical data is both inaccurate and sparse. In such circumstances, in some countries, we have to flag a Data Caveat as a warning.

 

Choice of Base Reference Country

 

As report databases are generated specifically for each client order, the client can select which Base Country the database uses.  The choice of a Base Country is important as it puts the database into the client’s own perspective. This is important, for example, in respect of Purchasing Parity data or the results of End User Survey data where the world data is presented from the relative position of the Base Country.

The Data Caveat

 

The report databases are designed to give a common definition, unit of measure and quantification of demand in over 200 countries. These reports rely on data collection at various levels of the product flow; this effectively means, the producer, the distribution channels and the end user or consumers. This data is then correlated with any national and international statistical data produced by official agencies. Unfortunately, product flow data gathering in some countries is difficult, and furthermore the official statistical data is both inaccurate and sparse. In such circumstances, in some countries, we have to flag a Data Caveat as a warning.  What this means is that in some countries the data is not sufficiently verifiable for statistical purposes and in those cases the data may not be presented.

Support Services

Real Time Support

The After-Sales Service can offer client Real-Time Support. This usually involves using a software utility called TeamViewer (an installation program can be found in the Toolkit on your DVD or Hard Disk Drive) which allows the After-Sales Service support staff to directly link to the client’s computer and work with the users in real time.

 

Toolkits

To assist users there are various Toolkits available on request:

 

The Files, Data, Documents, Software, Tools, Utilities and other items provided on these DVDs are supplied for the sole use of the recipient. These items are the property of the publishers concerned and they may not be released or distributed without the express permission of the publisher of each item.

 6. OpenOffice

 7. Business Plan Images

 8. Reference files

 9. US Census Data Tools

10. Utilities & Tools

 

Because all DataGroup & Data Institute database are directly compatible with U.S. Government databases it is sometimes useful for users to use US Government data handling tools to manage not only US Government data, but also the data provided by DataGroup and Data Institute. Alternatively, if you are already using this US Government software you can simply access the DataGroup & Data Institute databases with the same software.  In generate DataGroup & Data Institute use the same database parameters, structures and field names as those found in US Government databases, and thus users can correlate and query databases without undue difficulty.

Toolkit 2

1. Database Utilities

2. Enterprise Resource Planning

3. Integrated Development Environment

 

If you intend to implement DataGroup and Data Institute databases online (internet or intranet) then an Integrated Development Environment is often the easiest route to data dissemination and data manipulation.

Resource Web

Sometimes clients also want the data loaded onto a password protected dedicated website for the use of their staff and any other persons they may authorise.

The main benefit of these Resource Webs is that the data is available to all the client’s staff and professional advisors wherever they may be, and also when data is updated, or new data is added, then there is a common point of access for that data.  Resource Webs are maintained for the use of the client for a period of 12 months from the last update to that site.  These dedicated web sites are provided by the After-Sales Service.

After-Sales Service

The After-Sales Service are an independent unit which provides support to users. The After-Sales Service is a stand-alone unit which is not connected to any particular Distributor, Reseller or Retailer.

 

Support is provided on a contractual basis to Account Holders; and on an Ad Hoc basis to retail & non-account users.

 

Database specificity

The After-Sales Service can only provide support for the specific database(s) licenced to the user. We cannot generally provide data from unrelated databases, unless there is a specific agreement for this.

 

Costs

The current cost is $95 per hour; this includes all researchers / computer / database access costs.  This costing is based on work which is scheduled at off-peak times.

 

Delivery

We normally seek to fulfil orders in 7-14 days. For more urgent After-Sales Service work the costs depend on the client’s time frame and the availability of our researchers.

 

Telephone Support

Account Holders receive telephone support via their Account Manager. We are unable to offer telephone support to Ad Hoc or retail clients unless there is a specific agreement for this.

 

Online Support

Account Holders receive online support via their Account Manager. We are able to offer online support to Ad Hoc or retail clients by specific agreement for this.

 

Quotations

Client will usually be provided with a formal proposal and quotation for After-Sales Service work. This will underline the work which is to be provided and the cost of that work.

 

 

How to order After-Sales Services

 

The After-Sales Service is most effective if users plan their orders sequentially, i.e. extract the basic data which will then lead to more complex data or correlations. This also helps to reduce costs as the use of automated processing & standard data formats are always less expensive to produce than Ad Hoc work.

 

Modular Research

Once the After-Sales Service understands the general data requirements they will send the Client a Modular Proposal as a Word document. The Client can then select the Parts required, and amend or modify the information objectives.

 

The best way to organise the ordering of data is as follows:-

1   Additional Market Research Data

2   Distribution Channels & End Users 

3   Survey Data

4   Corporate Data

5   Additional Requirements

 

Once a client has specified exactly what data is needed, and that specification is available, then the After-Sales Service will produce a written quotation of cost and delivery time.


Database Compatibility

The increased use of Database Management Systems, Business Planning and Control Systems, Enterprise Resource Planning, Management Information Systems, and other tools amongst management professionals has produced a critical need for the harmonisation of data across various software applications and systems platforms. The After-Sales Service ensures that its output, where required, will be fully compatible with every product and database.

 

For this reason all the databases use harmonised database and data sets; thereby users can obtain any database from any of the publishers, for any of their brands, with the assurance that these databases are fully compatible and can be used in conjunction with one another and the various platforms, operating systems and software.

 

            

                   

 

                    

 

The Data Institute has, since 2007, undertaken the harmonisation and convergence of the database specifications and definitions of the various database providers. This is to allow users a uniform and standardised reference to use with their planning and forecasting; and to allow cross-database functionality.

 

The data sets, modules and standards shown are now fully harmonised and standardised to allow data and software interflow and cross-platform usage of the databases.  Users may obtain older data dictionaries and standards, and/or data sets and data dictionaries for their own national standards. The standard product and market definitions have been harmonised and are provided (in the standard database products supplied), often as the NAICS classifications. Users wishing to remain with the previous SIC classifications may obtain these databases under that classification system. Users requiring other (U.N., European, Japanese, et cetera) classification definitions and norms may obtain those as necessary. Accounting standards are also harmonised according to the U.S. regulatory norms; however other norms are available. Data dictionary and data definition bridges and converters are available to allow users to update or standardise their databases. The Data Institute has undertaken to maintain support for the older data dictionary standards and definitions until 2025; however users are urged to update at their earliest convenience.
