We live in an information age and we manage that information with databases. Unfortunately, many organizations still see databases as some number-hungry beast that sits in the corner waiting to be fed when someone has the time.
We design databases that integrate with your organization's existing processes, leaving your staff to concentrate on getting their jobs done. The database works in the background - enhancing your already proven procedures with speed and improved thoughput
Often, the terms data and information are used interchangeably. There is, however, a very big difference in the two. 'Data' is simply numbers or words that may or may not mean something to you. 'Information' is data that is presented in a way that enables it to convey a message.
Imagine a telephone book that is not sorted in any particular order. The book contains data - some of it may be useful but most of it is not. That same data - sorted alphabetically - turns the entire directory into a source of information. You know exactly where to find a name, address, and telephone number.
Data does not always originate from within your organization. A vast amount of data comes from external sources. IKAIKA can help turn your organization's data into a valuable source of information.
