Most often, your analysis will depend on your initial goals and objectives and the pattern or results obtained will help in decision making (use).
Also, the choice of the software will depend on so many things like cost, level of expertise, desired output etc.

For storage if by EASY you mean
-Easily retrievable
_Ease of access
-Ease of manipulation
-Highly secured
-Ease of query functions
-Unlimited space (cloud service)
I will suggest you think of a database with a database management sytem(DBMS)
For analysis you have a choice between commercial softwares like SPSS or free/open source software like R-software which you can investigate more on.

I will comment on data security; It refers to the process of protecting data from unauthorized access and data corruption throughout its life cycle. Data security includes data encryption and key management practices that protect data across all applications and platforms. But in our health facility data can be protected in a simple way by using key passwords on the computer systems and keeping patient data files in confined lockable cabinets.
I am much interested to learn more on Data collation topics to get more skills

Data validation is different from each one of your data.It's totally depend on what data you're collected like if you're you're collecting participant's health related information then it can be changed after one week or month or even after a day. So it's important for the M& E planning group to consider the types of data they collected for data validation.

Sample Post: I would like to learn more about…[data storage, evaluation, data quality assessment, etc.]
I would like to learn more about and know the distinction/difference between data evaluation and analysis and data quality assessment - and when they are necessary (or not).
In my project example introduced in this certificate program, I am concerned not about quantitative data, rather I am concerned about understanding the veracity of information based on the sources' interest to participate in the project. It is planned that qualitative data will be collected through interviews and surveys or focus groups.
Specifically, I am concerned about understanding the interest or drive behind a parents authorization to allow their child to attend the learning center during their free time. Is it merely a convenience to have the children basically attend a free "day-care" while the parent is out working or looking for work? Similarly, is the child's interest to attend the learning center entirely based on the parents decision to not have them left unsupervised at home? Is the child interested because of the potential to learn new computer skills or English; or are they merely attending because the parents and the child are aware that the child will receive one free meal at the learning center? Remember that in this project, the key participants are families and children from the poorest neighborhoods.

@RCPparticipant said in Module 5 Discussion: Data Management Questions:
I would like to learn more about how to ensure the safety of data without expensive applications.
I agree, keeping the data confidential is important so knowing affordable places to store the data would be beneficial. Maybe it can be stored in pen drives or an external memory and these be kept under lock and key with only certain members to have access to it. It can be a viable option if not that many funds are available. However, this works for digital data, if there are paper surveys, I think the best way would be to scan them and make then digital then dispose of the paper in order not to leave a trail and maintain confidentiality.
Hello SRALE and RCPparticipant,
Thank you for this valuable tip. I have worked on projects where the concern for safety of data storage is not entirely based on the fact that data contains personal/individual information. Rather, the concern for a secure/safe data storage was for security of the individual participant(s) in countries under a closed political environment. Concerned government agencies could easily "eavesdrop" or hack-into project records. However, if the paper trail is minimized through use of digital files stored on flash/pen drives or external memory that can be kept under lock-and-key worked best. Thanks again for reminding me of this very critical tip. Hugh C. Orozco (21 June 2019)
