Services: Data Design, Modeling and Management
Imagine a closet: it is a useful place to store items that are important to you.
When you need an item, you look inside the closet for the item, and then retrieve
it.
How you organize your closet affects:
- the number of items you are able to store inside the closet
- the length of
time needed for you to search through the closet for a specific item
Now, consider your critical business data:
- customer profiles
- order and payment transactions
- patient histories
-
project operations
How much of this information is scattered across different “closets”?
Spreadsheets
|
Microsoft Excel, Quattro Pro, Open Office Calc |
word processing documents
|
Microsoft Word, Corel Wordperfect, Open Office Writer |
Databases
|
Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Open Office Base |
third-party applications
|
CRM, HR, Accounting
|
Now, consider that many people in your business each have their own “closets” with
your business data. The result: redundant, out-of-date, unmanageable information
that must be searched for and then confirmed as the most current.
Your business can benefit from data design:
- centralized “one-source” reduces redundancy
- increases data quality (updated in one place)
- thorough analysis of your data
- data security
- data value protection (walking out the door)
Data Modeling and Management promote a more secure, more powerful environment for
managing and using your business data.
