P7- IT Tools
Databases Databases are a good way for any business/ organisation to store and produce information. There are many
database software’s but the one that is used widely is Microsoft Access.
Queries= Queries are one of the main features of databases as it helps requests informations from databases
however you have to use special query language because that’s only recognised. Multiple queries can also be
used to find multiple values of information at the same time.
Import Excel Files= Most database have a feature for you to import files from different such as excel, word
and text files. This can be helpful as it can businesses organise everything in a correct way and furthermore it is
easy to import data without much hassle as a wizard will guide you through this.

20 years’ time and measure their performance from month to month and of course everything from the
database can be put into graphs and charts for Matlin to compare with other businesses. However Matlin
Insurance must make sure they have high speed access because they have large databases with many
customer information so they should be able to search for and access queries quickly because for a business
like Matlin time is money.
Spreadsheets Spreadsheets are design to produce important information from what you input which can be data. For example
some of the tools I will be going over are:
