Building an Online Database

Since my suggestion is to go with an online database, specific concerns related to online security and access will be your main criteria for choosing a product:

1. SECURITY

Make sure the product you use is hosted on a secure site, with data backed up on regular basis.

2. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

Before going with any product, confirm that the data entered will be the sole ownership of your organization, even if stored at a remote site. As international privacy laws mature, this will have more importance.
