Nylink: Database Pros and Cons
•Enables easy data analysis for staff, members (statistics, activity reports, price tracking)
•Facilitates targeted marketing by making it easy to identify groups with common characteristics.
•Leads to streamlined workflow for renewals and member communications.
•Data can easily be exported to a commercial CRM.
•Possible web self-service applications being considered.
•Redundant data entry on spreadsheets and other files.
•Vendor partners still require different output; there are no standards.
•Did I mention data entry?
•Only partly linked to other critical sources of information, such as OCLC activity and billing system.
•Tricky to set up security parameters, so there is limited staff access
