Office Database

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the most common computer database systems used in small businesses are Oracle, IBM DB2, Paradox, MySQL and Microsoft Access, which is used by the author's company. The author feels that Microsoft Access, which the company now uses, is a good choice for an easy-to-use yet feature-rich database system and meets the needs of the organization for the time being; therefore, the author does not recommend investing in any other database software system. The memo relates that, at present, Microsoft Access is used only to maintain employee records; the author recommends that (1) the use be expanded to included inventory and client and vendor management and that intensive training in the use of Microsoft Access be initiated.

From the Paper:

"We are a small company and database usage has been so far kept to a minimum; mainly we use them for human resources management. However, as our company grows I would like to see the use of databases increase and expand into other departments. Furthermore, I have noticed that few office personnel are familiar enough with Microsoft Access to use it regularly or to its full advantage. Our organization would greatly benefit from a training program that focuses on the implementation of databases."
