Answer to Question 1

There are legitimate reasons for a department to use its own database. Some processes use sensitive data that should not be shared with other processes such as tax data for accounting processes and healthcare claims data for the HR department. Also, a department system can be purchased and implemented more quickly than most enterprise solutions. Finally, departmental IS are much more affordable; enterprise systems can cost as much as 10 to 50 times as much as a single-department application.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
