ICT hub: Implementing a database – practical and strategic issues

ICT hub has published an article outlining the critical steps and considerations for organizations approaching a database implementation project. The article is something of a top-level check-list and could be helpful in assigning job responsibilities and developing timelines for managing what is often a complex and daunting process.

The key things to remember for a successful implementation are:

  2. Pay attention to detail
  3. Clean up your data before you add it
  4. People are your biggest issue (and asset)
  5. Evaluate what you do
