Electronic Data Deliverables: The Importance of
Receiving Your Site and Project Data Electronically
|
| Long description: |
The importance of receiving site and project data electronically
cannot be overstated. One need only look at the explosion in
modern electronic tools for the mapping, evaluation, visualization, and
reporting of all types of data. Electronic data can assist managers with
site-specific decisions as well as decisions regarding the geographic
areas and communities adjoining the site. Electronic data also can
expedite the availability, use, storage, search, and retrieval of costly
data, and permit it to be shared for concurrent or future purposes.
The efficiencies gained through the use of electronic data can free up
scarce resources needed to pursue site and project goals. For example,
the receipt and use of electronic laboratory data in the Superfund
program saves millions of dollars annually on quality control and data
review. In addition to saving staff time and money, electronic data also
provide a more comprehensive, accessible, and usable site record for future project managers and technical
support staff.
