Excellent Book keeping strategies existed before the computer age, on the management of data, including convenient and efficient retrieval and update operations. But, because of the limitations associated with the physical handling of documents and human processing, a look in retrospect suggests that data (and information generated through data) were only marginally used in daily decision-making, even in progressive organizations.
The application of computers speeds up the data processing activities and adds some flexibility to the management of data and the information generated from it. Widespread and easy access to time sharing systems, advances in logical and physical access methods matched by steep increases in the density and volume of disk storage devices, led gradually to a reassessment of the role of data in management decision making.
This transition was facilitated by the induction of database technology into the organizations.
