Data Management at Organization

Organizations are gradually challenged through the amount of information being

produced on a regular basis. It is time for organizations to take a more sophisticated and mature

approach to manage data, databases and data structures, e.g., files and lists to make the most of

the information they consume and produce — data organized in an order that starts with the

tiniest part of information utilized by a computer system used for discussion, e.g., a solo

character, e.g., number or a letter. Related records, files make up a company database.

Generally, companies for handling data and related databases uses a methodology that

comprises keeping distinct record files for all applications. For example, in our organization, a

worker file/document would be kept for payroll determinations whereas another worker’s file

may be kept for newsletter purpose (Brookshear, 2015). Organizations can employ DBMS for

efficiently managing their databases and information. For example, in our company, ABC

Logistics, for managing databases, relational database management systems (RDBMS) is used

with the help of relational algebra, e.g. using queries. The records are kept and retrieved with

machine executions languages, e.g. SQL (Structured Query Language) is extensively used.

RDBMS supports the relational data structure, e.g. keeping records in tables using the concepts

of integrity rules and keys (Brookshear, 2015). Apart from using DBMS, organization executes

reporting and analytics on dormant information to obtain novel insights deprived of influencing

production execution and performance.

Database system approaches systems used by companies to help to store and retrieve

data, make modifications, manipulations and report production efficiently. Data manipulation

and data definition languages and use of data dictionary are some of the key ways to manage

databases in a relational data tables significant for database administration — data warehousing

likewise another approach that organizations used for managing and keeping information.

Though the approach is not the lively and active scheme, however, it updated weekly or daily.

For example, our company utilizes a comparatively one terabyte data in size. The minor

portions of the huge database can be further fragmented and warehoused for additional

investigation to prevent slowing down of the huge database (Lungu, et al., 2009). Data

arrangement and efficient administration are crucial to best data usage. Hence, it is significant

to arrange information as to highlight business practices and operations. Intrinsically, careful

consideration must be offered to access, content, physical organization, and logical structure

(Stajano, 1998). In the end, I would like to express that I do not have sound knowledge and

background on data management. My company's data management ways are confidential not

to be thoroughly disclosed.
