Database system
Link all your data.
The main aim of a database system is the efficient, consistent and permanent storage of large amounts of data. Such a system consists of two parts, the database management system (DBMS) to support computer-aided data processing and the database (DB) itself, which contains the data to be managed.
The current status
The vast amounts of data that are generated in the company every day need to be stored and managed. Almost every second company in Germany uses an external server to manage company data, and the trend is rising. Whether it concerns e-mails, customer data or internal order processing, a database system is the basic prerequisite for versatile use. A dedicated server is not required where access is location-based, using the database as a service (DBaaS). The providers ensure that your data is kept secret and protected with backup copies. Flexible working methods, thanks to permanent data access, are also possible when working from home. Thanks to the latest component of big data analysis, the data can be analyzed to draw conclusions about the quality of the product.

Step-by-step introduction
Step 1: Software solution
SaaS:
For a fully comprehensive solution without prerequisites in your own company.
PaaS:
For a programmable environment with external servers and high computing power.
Step 2: Definition of the data
Create a list of the data to be compiled.
The data you use for your current reports is a good place to start.
There is also data that is already maintained automatically.
In the case of e-mails, for example, this is the time of delivery, dispatch, data of the author and recipient.
Step 3: Data linking
Customer, product, supplier.
Is there a connection between these?
A possible connection could be as follows:
E-mails, customer number, delivery bills, invoices, product identification number, prices, parts list, processing process, processing time, employee, cost centers, workplace, operating materials, tools, suppliers
This can be as broad as you like.
Link the data and create an image of your company.
Step 4: Customization
If you do not like the standardized reports, customize them to create the best possible overview.
