Maintenance and Storage

If the data growth is unchecked, it will affect all other areas of the company and also make it impossible for full utilization of SCM, ERP, and CRM applications. This will potentially impact business performance and decrease productivity.
If there are large data volumes, it will also slow down the reporting process and application response time. This will have a net effect of limited business decisions especially during the quarter and year-end close. If you will maintain large database applications, it will add to the cost, risk and complexity of the business. There will also be more time spent to perform routine maintenance and back-up activities.
