DATA MANAGEMENT
Data are a vital organizational resource that need to be managed like other important
business assets. That's why organizations and their managers need to practice data resource
management, a managerial activity that applies information systems technologies like
database management and other management tools to the task of managing an organization's
data resources to meet the information needs of business users.
The Data Base Management Approach emphasizes: (1) updating and maintaining
common data bases; (2) providing information needed for each end-user’s application by
using application programs that share the data in common databases; and (3) providing
inquiry/response and reporting capability.
Data Base Management Systems are software packages that simplify the creation,
use and maintenance of databases. It is a set of computer programs that controls the
creation, maintenance, and use of the data bases of an organization and its end users.
