Question 3

What are the implications for databases and information sharing in today's global environment?

Accepted Answer

In today's global environment, access to data from any physical location in the world is increasingly important.Computer networks are created that provide instant access to these operational data, allowing real-time managerial decision capability regardless of physical location. A centralized database allows a company to confine its data to a single location and, therefore, more easily control data integrity, updating, backup, query, and control access to the database.A company with many locations and telecommuters, however, must develop a communications infrastructure to facilitate data sharing over a wide geographical area.The advent of the Internet and a standardized communication protocol made the centralized database structures and geographically dispersed data sharing feasible.
