Simply put, Van Wagner Communications outgrew its existing data management system. It was no longer feasible to manage such a high number of clients and projects in spreadsheet fashion. Datex Corporation studied the business operations of Van Wagner Communications. It became immediately obvious that Van Wagner was doing much of their management manually. This proved to be tedious and timely, wasting manpower hours daily. It was later found that data integrity was being compromised due to this process. Hard copy work orders did not allow for realtime updates and field technicians were forced to jot notes on each work order by hand. This allowed for incomplete notation and inconsistency among field technicians.
