* 💾 Developing / testing / deploying / scheduling overnight batch jobs to load files from shared drives
* 🔒 Opening (and locking) datasets in Enterprise Guide or SAS® Table Viewer to perform direct updates
* ❓ Asking a #DBA to run validated code after a change management process
* 🌐 Building & maintaining your own custom web application
* 🏃 Running #SAS or #SQL updates in production

_Problems with the above include:_
2023-07-25 08:52:27 +00:00
2023-07-25 08:56:07 +00:00
* Legacy 'black box' solutions with little to no testing, documentation or support
* End users requiring direct write access to critical data sources in production
* Upload routines that must be manually modified when the data model changes
* Breaches due to unnecessary parties having access to the data
* Inability to trace who made a change, when, and why
* Reliance on key individuals to perform updates
* Building bespoke ETL for every new data source
* High risk of manual error / data corruption
