A database is an organized collection of structured information, or data, typically stored electronically in a computer system. A database is usually controlled by a database management system (DBMS). A good database is crucial to any company or organization. This is because the database stores all the pertinent details about the company such as employee records, transactional records, salary details, etc.
Developing a database for your business can help you:
- reduce the amount of time you spend managing data
- analyze data easier
- improve the quality of the information
- turn disparate information into a valuable resource
