    Well, is great to come home back to Europe and literally end up with an article on TDWTF that plagues the client I "visited" over the last few days. In the end it's pretty simple: Either there is a proper contract organizing data or there isn't. When you have an contract in place, then it's hard to get the data in. When there is no contract in place, then it's hard to get the data out. There is no easy way, in the end it's similar to entropy, data is always data but it varies in it's usefulness and that in the end dictates how expensive processing will be.

    When you have an contract in place, then it's hard to get the data in. When there is no contract in place, then it's hard to get the data out.

    Very well said. There's a corollary that's triggering for me. Data gathering & input is expensive, laborious, and invisible to management. Data reporting is totally visible to management. I can't count the number of times I was asked to concoct a solution to reporting data that wasn't gathered and wouldn't / couldn't be gathered. Only to be met by blank stares and "Why not?"
