The Right Tool for the Right Job
By Dan Cornell

From the smallest mom-and-pop to the largest multinational, every business has the need to compile, organize, store and analyze data. Implementing an information system for your business can sound daunting, conjuring up images of rooms full of rack-mounted computers and teams of technicians and programmers. Occasionally, however, you need to make a quick business decision-and in all likelihood, you already have powerful tools at your disposal to help you do just that.

Microsoft Excel and Access, contained in the Office suite, are excellent for small-scale data compilation and analysis, but you should use caution when looking at the long term. With these types of quick-and-dirty data structures designed to meet an immediate need, it can be too easy to lose control - and this means a potential loss of valuable, and perhaps irreplaceable, data.
