Database - resource management

A Database may make efficient use of resources.

Hardware optimised;

• Data is stored only once and accessible to all applications.

Software optimised;

• Data is maintained by the Database, but accessible by a variety of DBMS's and existing packages

Data as a resource managed;

• Data is sharable across an organisation, enabling collected data to be accessed where required.

People skills are recognised;

• Since Databases may be accessed by a variety of packages, the current skills of the users may be utilised.
