Abstract
As the global economy becomes increasingly competitive, companies are learning to use information as a strategic asset to gain marketing advantage. The amount of information manipulated by company applications is growing at a high rate. According to the International Group of Los Altos California, in 1970, a typical Fortune 500 company possessed 8 billion characters of electronic data. By 1990, this amount had increased to 28 trillion characters and by the year 2000, the number is expected to increase to 400 trillion characters. So, companies are looking for technology and tools to help them manage the great amount of data collected over the years in order to obtain assistance to manage their business more effectively.
