OPG-3 #12: Are My Databases…Silos?


Creating Paperless Business Processes #12

 

“All that is in there is needed; and, all that is needed is in there.” (Chad Brinkman)

How many databases do you own? Are your databases silos, or are your databases talking to each other?

 

Let’s say that your organization has a Financial database (ERP), and a Customer Relationship Management database (CRM), and you have Microsoft and Adobe files in another database, and so on. Without a system, nothing flows in-and-out of your databases. Thus, your staff must re-key data frequently. A hint: If your staff is double-entering, you’re already siloed. Repetitive keystrokes means increased errors, which causes your databases to drift further apart, to a point where it gets harder and harder to integrate divergent databases.

 

By creating silos, are you losing the efficiency and integrity of your databases?

 

Databases begin as silos of information; however, OPG-3 knows that databases drift apart and cause problems, if you neglect your growing problems. And as corn is like data in a silo, much of the important information becomes inert to your IT staff if left untended. The hidden portion of data in the silo needs to be integrated to make your organization more efficient and effective, doesn’t it?

How does OPG-3 integrate your databases?

 

“You can’t break down silos, but you can connect them.” (Christiaan Lustig)

 

We have 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 aggregate your data with automatic ease. Instead of double-entering data, you could be talking database to database, we call Cross Walking. Your choices: The Microsoft database tools and the OPG-3 know how are available, so why not ask us to help you?

 

 

Key points:

  • Databases that don’t share data become harder and harder to integrate
  • Double keyed data wastes time and increases errors
  • Segregated databases is service-affecting
  • Bringing databases together offers you Actionable Information
  • With Microsoft tools and OPG-3 knowledge, you can push and pull data into applications
  • OPG-3 database assessments are affordable
