Since the dawn of data processing, man has sought in vain for a solution to the dilemma: Should DP be centralized or decentralized. Some of the best minds in business have groped with this conundrum, searching for the answers. Happily, answers do exist, to be discovered only after the proper amount of time, money and executive brainpower have been expended in the search. Most of the answers, like those from the Delphic Oracle, tend to obscure the question--to all but those trained in the Mysteries (of data processing). The answers are: (1) It depends, (2) the opposite of what you are doing and (3) distributed data processing.
