After reading the article (which I feel was a bit confusing) I feel that
large companies have already been doing this. This is how you keep
track of the inventory (money spent on goods) and what is being
shipped out (goods sold). Along with many other aspects of a
business, A/R or A/P. My point is that all of the input starts with a
physical person. Data entry will always be with a person entering it
into the database or computer etc. Human error will always be a
worry of any company. The accuracy of how it is put in will depend
on the employees that enter this into the system. Large companies (I
am doing mine for Nike) will have to invest in quality people to
analyze data no matter what happens. With large blocks of
information, it can be analyzed by a machine but will only be as good
as the one entering it into that database. I hope that I am not missing
the point of the article.
