The processes of data entry, data management, data analysis and data use were all transformed as a result of integration. Data entry was streamlined by harmonizing data collection forms, thereby reducing the number of forms staff at the local level are required to complete. Identifying information (site codes, individual unique identifiers) is now automatically
entered on all data collection forms, thereby reducing errors and eliminating the need for staff to spend time manually completing forms. Because internet outages remain a challenge in some areas, the system was designed to allow for off-line data entry.Certain subsystems, including the VCT, MMT and ART subsystems, have client software used to collect data offline. Data are then uploaded to the web-based subsystem whenever the terminal users are online.
