Creating Paperless Business Processes #13
“…while a portion
of icebergs are above the water level, the larger portion is below.”
(International Ice Patrol)
If your multiple
databases were compared to icebergs, in the worst case scenario, how much
danger would they pose?
If you use the
standard operating procedure for databases, each entry is unique, and related
to only one database. So, in the end, you have (correctly) typed John N.
Johnson seven times into your multiple database icebergs that operate
separately. You don’t have two IT Networks, so why would you need multiple
databases that float alone? Without a system, nothing flows in-and-out of your
databases, which causes your databases to drift further apart, to a point where
it gets harder and harder to integrate divergent databases. Below the water
line: By ignoring database issues, the problems caused by errors and
duplication grow. Eventually your office will have large database icebergs that
freeze your time with greater frequency.
By creating icebergs, are you losing the efficiency and
integrity of your databases?
Databases begin as
ice cubes of information; however, OPG-3 knows that databases
become icebergs over time. Icebergs drift apart and cause problems, if you
neglect your growing problems. And like icebergs, most of the important
information is hidden below the surface of your IT staff. The hidden portion of
the iceberg that your staff can’t see needs to be integrated to make your
organization more efficient and effective, or it becomes a bigger problem,
doesn’t it?
Before: “Iceberg dead ahead!” How do we protect and integrate
your databases?
Before you hit a
database iceberg, remember that OPG-3 has Microsoft Certified
Process Database Administrators that can assess your silos of information. We
know the Microsoft tools and systems to integrate databases. You monitor the
efficiency of your IT Network; however, have you ever called OPG-3
to assess the integrity and the efficiency of your multiple databases?
OPG-3 can bring your divergent database silos together with Microsoft Middle Man
tools that may act like Middle Ware, reaching out across boundaries to
