- Make repetitive tasks automated.
Active Directory/ HR database that can be used as a central user database.
Motor Transport/Vehicle assignment database

SQL data mining
DVMS uses several industry standards, one of which is MS SQL databases.
Remember that the information that you store is YOURS, ad you can manipulate
it in ways that fit your business model.
We will often add new reporting and features driven by feedback, but this
doesn’t prevent you from using the data you have to run special reports.
If you need help with our data structure
or a data dictionary, just ASK.
Using Pivot Tables
Microsoft Excel is a very powerful tool that can be used to crunch numbers and
generate statistics based on a data dump.
If you already have an office suite that include pivot table functionality (even
openoffice). You can run reports without any additional costs for specialized
software!

Using SQL Reporting Services
MS SQL also includes a reporting service that can generate reports and even
publish them on the web. In addition, any DBA’s are familiar with different
utilities such as Crystal Reports, which simplify the creation of reports.

Data security/Replication and DR
What data needs to be replicated? All Video? What
information is important if the main server site is lost?
How important is the audit trail for a DR site?
Replication can be accomplished inside the system using:
1. Secondary Storage
2. NAS
3. Tape Library
4. Redundant Site
Costs VS end result, what situations are you protected in?
Do you want HA or DR? (not the same)
