Sharing Data and Working Together

My mentor, Fr. Paul, talked about an old church where the sisters kept all of the vital records on index cards for over 40 years: Thousands of births, deaths, marriages and family details. The records were stored in boxes and trunks in the basement of the rectory. Who could ever find anything in those boxes and boxes of index cards? How could anyone ever connect the names and the families?

 

Information is vital to a community as well as a company. However, people need a way to access and use that data. Otherwise it is just noise. This lesson looks at the options for sharing and collaborating.
