2. In case of separate applications, IT wastes an
enormous amount of time and money on integrating,
maintaining and acquiring new versions of each
application. On the contrary, unified data sources
make the life of IT managers easier, as post-upgrade
error-checking and optimization is much quicker and
less error-prone.
3. only one common script for data source scheme
changes or parametric data addition will be executed
for each new version of any subsystem.
4. In fact Database Administrators do not have to worry
about the addition of new modules, because there are
no additional tasks that need to be performed, to
ensure the proper functioning of both the existing and
the newly-added software modules.
5. Since there is one common data source, data
insertion procedures are also common for all sub-
systems, which translates to significant time savings
for the IT staff.
6. One of the most important advantages is the fact that
data are uniquely identified and saved only once,
which leads to full data consistency. If a module
modifies a data entity, the other modules will be able
to access it right away, without any extra effort.
7. the need for additional storage is minimized, given
that all data is and remain naturally de-duplicated.
8. There are several examples of our customers’ IT
departments who develop custom APIs for data export,
to feed external applications according to their own
internal needs.

10. A common data source enables an effortless reporting,
when combining information from different modules is
necessary. This leads to being able to create more
sophisticated reports, helping the management team
make critical, yet well-informed, decisions.
