On a project where you want to conduct your own data analysis, but need assistance in developing the required procedures, let us develop a processing protocol for you. Then you can get your data analysis underway quickly and smoothly. We determine your needs, then develop the protocol. You get detailed instructions, specifying the proper sequence of batch file processes, and the required software for each step. Whether your needs are in the area of auditing, fraud detection, computer forensics, or any other data analysis situation, we can quickly get the instructions(and software, if required) in your hands, usually handling the entire consultation by phone and/or email.

Because of the flexibility of Maresware, we are generally able to complete the entire protocol using our own programs, so you have no additional software to purchase. If additional tools are required, we develop procedures using software from other vendors, incorporating software you already have on hand when possible. Then we're available to talk you through any problems that may arise during your processing.

Our consultants can guide you through the automation of your processing procedures, whether for a onetime run, repetitive tasks, or unattended processing. We increase your efficiency through protocols that cut the time required to process data.

Mares and Company can assist with transforming data from existing and legacy systems for transfer to a new system and format. During the initial analysis of data, our software is utilized to detect anomalies and errors, locating areas that need cleansing before you proceed. Then, during the conversion, we perform field level data conversion to match your data mapping requirements.

Our process uses Maresware software, which has been engineered for extremely rapid processing of files of virtually unlimited size. (Read our statistics on rapid processing).
