Challenges include:
- Not all data exists in operational systems.
- Constantly changing data and reporting requirements.
- Numerous formats of data required such as text, comments, attachments, numerical data or grids of data.
- Input required from numerous individuals.
- Users are confronted with questions that are not relevant to them.
- Limitation of word processors and spreadsheets including:
- Performance and efficiency due to manual intervention.
- Modification and addition of questions becomes difficult.
- Security of the documents.
- Tracking of who has filled in what and what has been approved.
- Data flow, answer approval and data consolidation issues.
- Data is stored on PC hard drives and in emails.
- Auditing the processes difficult.
The requirement to gather data will only increase over with new and more legislation and governance needs. The paradoxical problem is that as this increases, companies don’t have the time, resources or means to act on these increased requirements.
