Databases
One crucial factor in determining the level of operational effectiveness is the way businesses use and manage their information.
Historically, information has been stored in files, spreadsheets and electronic documents which mean retrieving and using the
information takes time and can be costly.
Databases are an important technology which is used by most businesses today. They provide a solution to information management and use,
due to their ability to organise, process and manage information in a structured and controlled manner.
Databases are structured collections of data and information that are held in software systems. These
systems are indexed and allow for fast searching, reporting and manipulation of the data they hold. These systems
have a variety of business benefits, some of which are listed below:-
- Data is stored and managed together in one location.
- Information is more accessible and retrievable.
- Multiple users can access and update the data at the same time.
- Data security and access controls can be used.
- Reduced data entry, storage, and retrieval costs compared to paper methods.
- Data can be exported and integrated in to other systems.
- Data backups can easily be created.
- Integration with IT systems.
- Better data consistency.
