Protect Your Credibility
Maintaining the integrity of your Elite database is a mission critical
responsibility. A loss or absence of data integrity can cost your
firm time and money and can damage your accounting department's
credibility. Many firms assume if their system is up and no error
messages are being encountered, the database is fine. Unfortunately,
this isn't always true.
What could go wrong?
Database integrity can be compromised by a number of contributing
factors. Among these are:
- Data Conversion Shortcuts
- Application Software Bugs
- Direct Altering of the Database via SQL tools |
- Mismatched software versions
- Botched Upgrades
- Rogue Custom Programs |
Get an Elite Checkup
The key to protecting your data against software bugs or human
error is to do a thorough check of the integrity of your Elite
system at least once a year. An annual data integrity audit is the
only way you can be sure that the information in your reports and
inquiry system is accurate. Elite provides utilities and tools to
assist you in performing this task, but interpreting the results
and fixing the errors can require experience and skill.
If you are unfamiliar with the integrity utilities, or would prefer
to outsource the audit, Data Fusion can help. Data Fusion's personnel
have the expertise to perform a thorough analysis of your data integrity,
identify and document all errors found, and implement corrective
measures where appropriate. We will also provide you with the information
and tools you need to maintain your system integrity going forward.
