Introduction
Managing a business and its loads of data and information for a human, who has a limited capacity to do work, has become close to impossible in this Era of Technology. It would not be an exaggeration to say that businesses cannot survive without incorporating digital management systems into their companies. Digitally processing the data and maintaining the records would not have been a trouble-free job without computers. This fast paced technology makes this huge task seem as almost a trivial job by mechanizing and enhancing the implementation and performance of business activities at both ends, the business company and its clients. Without technological advancements the concept of this digital management and the ease it provides would not have been around.
History
During the pre-technological age the concept of data management was not non-existent. However, it was a tiring and difficult job. Businesses have been practicing data management systems since the late 1800s. Since the world entered into the twentieth century the data management system evolved from the file cabinets to the computers and now is called digital management. Technology changed the whole perception about data management in the field of business. Its advent brought the notions of a global network called the internet, e-business, the search engine, e-advertisements, and finally the smart phone, along with the cloud (wireless internet), through which data and information can be accessed anywhere and anytime by the companies and their clients.
