Introduction
To begin with, it should be stated that the development of the IT sphere and the spread of communication technologies have changed the image of business management essentially. Currently, there is an excellent opportunity for managing a business, staying in any corner of the world by the means of the internet, or arranging and controlling the business performance on the other continent.
Relational Technology
The constant development of the internet environment makes the availability of almost any data rather high for millions of users. Multimedia data is a user-friendly solution for providing numerous services over the internet to users and consumers. It should be stated, that Relational Technology is mostly based on such multimedia data management, making the application of this technology easy and effective. It is also designed for proper storage of data dealing with financial instruments, engineering diagrams, managerial principles, monetary flows, etc. It is necessary to emphasize that the application of relational technology for data management and processing systems essentially simplifies the remote trouble solving, linked with the data management. Relational technology may be also adapted for solving numerous managerial issues. Thus, it will be necessary to incorporate the communication-oriented applications to the RT for this purpose.
One of the brightest examples of using relational technology is the Oracle server. Wilson (2000) emphasizes the following fact in his research: “the Oracle server can be enhanced by developers to create their own application-domain-specific data types, based on the relational technology principles. Thus, there is an opportunity of creating financial portfolios, phone networks – and thus ensure that the database programs properly deal with the same level of abstraction as the application domain. Originally, it is desirable to integrate these new domain types as closely as possible with the server so they are treated at par with the built-in types. With such integration, the database server can be readily extended for new domains.” From this point of view, it should be emphasized that relational technology, and the business management strategies, based on this technology, generally require advanced data management services that maintain the rich data types used in electronic catalogs, corporate repositories, and other media-rich applications. Thus, if something goes wrong in the abroad business sector, Relational Technology is designed for remote troubleshooting and performing managerial decisions in a department, which may be located in any part of the world. Surely, the IT issues are solved the most quickly, while HR management problems, for instance, require more time for being solved in the case of necessity. (Jonassen, 2004)
If the project is implemented in the allover performance of an organization, it should be emphasized that all the expenses may be returned rather quickly, as it liberates numerous resources, spent for communication. These are the financial, human and time resources, consequently, the company will be able to improve the allover performance and get an opportunity of creating additional remote departments.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it should be stated that the relational technologies, applied to data management are rather helpful. It is explained in the example with the Oracle server, that these technologies are effective in the troubleshooting process, especially in the sphere of IT. Nevertheless, these technologies may be adapted for solving managerial issues.
