The database that was implemented for this company provides many business advantages to the company. Improved time efficiency is the biggest advantage. It also minimizes the need for office space, supplies, and cuts labor costs; which in return allows the company to use this money elsewhere. It is easier to enter information into the database in one place rather than to manually write the information in multiple places. The company will no longer need to keep paper copies of the information; it's now readily available at the tip of their fingers. The database also creates a decreased chance of human error. Another advantage is improved security. Since you don't have paper copies of forms and reports laying around anymore, it is much harder for people to access certain information that they shouldn't have access to.
