title: The joys and perils of computerization.
abstract: The decision to computerize comes after an agency grows beyond its capacity to efficiently control the day-to-day business and/or gather data to plan for future needs. Once the decision to computerize is made, several questions must be answered, including, "What are the computer needs of the agency?" "What functions must it provide?" and "Which system will serve the agency?"
