Online Data Management

Online data management refers to the comprehensive process of securely and efficiently collecting, organising, storing, analysing, and maintaining data. This can lead to increased productivity, better decision-making by using more accurate and timely data analysis, and improved data protection through regular backups and security monitoring.

Strategies

1. Organisation – sort and store data in sub/categories and establish a naming convention, along with a version control system, to facilitate easy search and retrieval. It is also important to archive old data that is no longer used for day-to-day operations or responsibly dispose of unnecessary data to avoid clutter and ensure relevant data is accessible.

2. Security – implement appropriate and up-to-date security measures, including access control to restrict access to those who need it (especially sensitive customer data).

3. Backup – ensure a reliable and consistent data backup system and schedule are established so that minimal data loss occurs in the event of a disaster.
