Inevitably, organizations duplicate each other in these efforts and this contributes to the proliferation of reports generated from each data-bank. In addition, the effort going into the building of proprietary information systems detracts from their achieving comprehensiveness or breadth, as well as from achieving depth of necessary detail. The isolated climate in which these organizational efforts are conducted is conducive to information hoarding; an unwillingness to share any output that the information system can produce. Thus the net result of these attitudes is incomplete and inefficient multiple information systems that stand alone unlinked by computer telecommunications or cooperative research efforts.
