  2. Storage and Access:
    The information driven by the business analysis can be stored according to the accessibility of the information. Accessibility depends on the factors that how often the information is used and viewed by other people. Other factors that influences the storage and access are organizational standards and tools. It is the responsibility of the analyst to determine which type of the tools should be used in the initial stage and how to store data within that tool. Selection of the tools may be depend on the size of the information, techniques etc.
