Without Envinsa...
If you're not using
Envinsa you may be duplicating location capabilities
within your organization, creating silos of
technologies, applications, and data. This can result
in:
 |
Higher costs -
purchasing and maintaining multiple systems
|
 |
Threatened data
integrity - data stored in several departments
without a centrally-managed database
|
 |
Security issues -
lack of IT oversight and governance
