Advantages:
• An organized and comprehensiveness of recording the result of the firms activities.
• A receiver of data to be used in meeting the information requirement of the MIS users.
• Reduced data redundancy.
• Reduced updating errors and increased consistency.
• Greater data integrity and independence from applications programs.
• Improved data access to users through use of host and query languages.
• Improved data security.
• Reduced data entry, storage, and retrieval costs.
• Facilitated development of new applications program.
• Standard can be enforced: Standardized stored data format is particularly desirable as an old data to interchange or migration (change) between the system.
• Conflicting requirement can be handled.
