Managing information is not an easy task, especially when that information
is important. One small change - an address, a phone number, a physician - sets off an avalanche of corrections in a mountain
of documents in order to keep records accurate.
This is the beauty of relational databases. A piece of information is kept
in only one place. When it is changed in that one place, it can then be pulled to wherever it is needed. Time is
saved; accuracy is enhanced.
Paper records are "paper"; it is not easy to "back them up" off-site.
I create databases for niche clienteles whose special needs I know well: religious communities and similar
organizations and those which deal with health care. In addition, I connected with my local TV station to learn some
skills from them and was able to assist them with their needs as well.
We all need to manage information effectively and easily.
