Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electronic file that Summit Gifts, Inc. keeps on its regular customers includes multiple fields of information and is used to track and analyze customer behavior. This is characteristic of a database system. Spreadsheets would not provide the level of functionality needed for this type of task, and MP3 and PERT files are not relevant to the storage and analysis of customer information.
