  • With the advent of technology, M&E has also employed the use of technology to manage data. technologies such as E

  • Regarding data management, it is important, because data is expensive, so a statistic must also know how some databases work, how to handle it so as not to spend too much to hire an IT consultant. So I can then that the statistic is related to IT. When we work as data analyzes and also have to work as a computer scientist for the knowledge of the management of different database languages ​​such as: Mysql, Oracle, Database. For me it is really useful to know how to work in Information Technology (IT). A firm that does not manage its data well will end up losing its customers for the confidentiality of its data.

  • Exactly, it is not only a sheet it is also a database designed for example SQL server, Oracle and Mysql. So we are called to know how to manipulate these languages ​​so as not to have too many gaps in the management of our.

  • Data management technology is also an element for the conservation of the archives of essential data made for the rectification, modification and reference of other studies. It also helps us to do the M&E plan well in our data structure projects and to create a dataset.

  • With the advent of technology, M&E has employed the use of technology in managing data. technologies such as Excel, MicrosoftSQL etc. In some instances, they might be expensive to use. However, the advantages completely outweighs the disadvantages. It is advised that a member of the M&E team have knowledge of the use of the used technology that is in some instances where the storage is contracted to an external company.

  • Data are best managed using IT means. Although physical methods of collecting data on paper is popular but the disadvantages are so enormous. Since the world has become global village, data collected anywhere can be accessed from any distant location with ease for further processing.

  • Even data collected manually are inputted into IT infrastructures from collation to analysis, storage, accessing, editing, deleting or even securing.

  • I think is better to hire an IT consultant whose duty is to train staff specifically on IT works or better still make the the IT personnel a staff.

  • Data Management Technology, specifically the digital one is convenient because data can be uploaded and downloaded anywhere and anytime, and can be accessed by authorised team members. Nonetheless, these technologies are expensive and not all organisations may be able to afford them.

  • Data storage using information technology is a very efficient way to store data although it can be tricky especially if you are not acquainted with it. So the first time I experienced using spreadsheet to store information was in an NGO, it was so cool and I was happy that I got to participate. But unfortunately, after entering up to a 100 names with their different information to save and send to our headquarters in Abuja, everything disappeared and till now I can’t tell how it happened. I was given a guideline but I wasn’t precise with how the whole thing works. Using IT for me is the best way to store data but one needs an expertise or rather a supervisor who can monitor an upcoming expert.

  • Data management is important. It provides a good platform for data use. If you can't manage your data then you can't use it. It therefore essential that data is managed effectively.

  • Data management is a fundamental endeavor in the current social context for we are data consumers and generators. Quality data management enables us to be responsible users of the cyberspace and to be cautious against malicious data.

  • Before we start choosing digital data storage and management software, we have to think about our need and importance.
    And that we adopt programs that the work team can handle lightly, or that we train them well to use them, which raises costs.
    But also, this software has easy access and storage on cloud storage sites, so it can be adopted instead of paper

    But I think that it is better to store digital data in the form and print it as a hard copy backup to ensure a return to it in the event of software failure or high costs of obtaining it

  • Yes I absolutely agree.

  • Data management is the important step in monitoring and evaluation. It helps to safeguard the data to maintain confidentiality factor in as far as data ethics is concerned.

  • This is the part of monitoring and evaluation that needs bit of technical support. It needs one to have at least basic understanding of computing.
    Though other things like updating, installation and fixing problems need service of technical support.
    Unfortunately some of the team in M$E only have numerical understanding of data but never the aspect of computing.

  • Data management technology can make the process of collecting and analyzing data much easier

  • here you need to have a technical staff that has technical knowledge on installing, updating, and fixing data management tools.

  • Installing, updating and fixing data management tools can require specialized technical knowledge, at the sametime Finally, even if you hire an IT consultant, your team still needs to generally understand how the technology works. If there is no one on your team who is able to talk about how the technology works or what it should do, it will be very difficult to make sure that your IT consultants are doing what you hope they will do.

    This is why, in addition to hiring consultants or services, you should train your staff to use, modify and fix your data management tools.
