8. Data flow optimization
Data travels back and forth between users,
which provoke loss in data reliability,
accuracy, time consumption and most
dangerously different versions of reality.
All data is hosted on the server and
users collaborate using it from the same
source which results in one analysis
and a unique version of reality.
