Coping with the expanding demands for information placed upon an organization is becoming more and more difficult. Individual units within organizations often feel these demands more keenly than others. The mainframe systems run by organizations are often overburdened and backlogged with requests, and thus are unable to respond quickly to such demands. Creating and maintaining a departmental database utilizing current technology can be an appropriate solution to such problems, but require careful design and implementation.
