  • 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.

    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

  • 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.
