Each type of data repository serves a unique purpose. Therefore, instead of replacing one with another, they can be used supplementarily.

Operations such as inventory reporting, sales approval and customer experiences that are managed manually will often result in many **bottlenecks** as operations become backlogged because of the [sheer amount of data](https://blog.trginternational.com/7-factors-to-consider-when-building-a-healthy-data-culture-part-1) that needs to be catalogued and processes that need to be done. As a result of this, data is often lost or incomplete, and productivity and efficiency are reduced.
