Document Summary
Once you establish your business you will have to hire other people for certain tasks such as marketing, accounting etc. As the business owner and manager, you can"t successfully do everything on your own. The manager of each department is now capable of tracking their own data.

Systems designed to work independently of one another. Purchasing influences inventory, which influences production, which influences. Decisions that are appropriate for only single business function may be inefficient for customer satisfaction, which influences future sales an entire business process. Not all systems will work for all departments. Just because they"re exchanging data doesn"t mean they"re collecting it in the same way. The manager must query separate functional systems (departments) and integrate the data manually.
