Difficulties in Managing Data
•
•
•
•
•
•
Amount of data increases exponentially.
Data are scattered and collected by many
individuals using various methods and
devices.
Data come from many sources.
Data security, quality and integrity are
critical.
An ever-increasing amount of data needs to
be considered in making organizational
decisions.
Solution: network database
