Alternatives
1. Integrate data into databases- the data which are placed in a number of files which are not
related, the data can be kept in an organized fashion in order to help in quick retrieval of
the data. Data are stored so that redundancy can be reduced and maintenance is as well
facilitated. This kind of data storage technique enhanced reduced cost of storage.
Integrating the data to a database ensures that the outputs available to the user are
integrated. Hence user can retrieve all the data needed from the databases. He does not
need to look for files from different locations but will just have to such for several files
stored inside one database.
2. Integrating the data processing functions- As an alternative, the programs are put in place
so that so that the functions can be performed by a group of functional-oriented modules.
