Data
All businesses produce and store data. It is vital you provide adequate security measures to instill confidence with your customers. Your data should support your business, too often businesses amass data and yet do so little with it, or try to manage disperate systems, where the information contained within each never quite connects.
Data, or more importantly 'information' is a key resource to every business, without which the business cannot function. Decisions made within any business are always made on the information available, or sometimes lack of it. Yet, despite the importance of information, most businesses refuse to recognise the importance of it. This is probably because most managers believe information is buried within their IT departments and they need special skills to be able to make use of it.
Information is a resource and used in every aspect of business it's needed for:
- day to day running of a business
- routine admin and management reporting
- and underpins strategic decision making
