Interview Four Pros and Cons list:

Here is a Pros and Cons list that has been generated by the instructors for this course and has been enhanced by input from other students.

Pros	Cons
Most PIM like systems have a variety of pre-built fields to hold the information you've already outlined for this project	Not all business environments will have something that will give you a PIM like capability
Most PIM like systems give you the ability to add custom fields to store specific bits of data	Software dependent
Using the fields to store the data does provide you a known structure for the information storage	If you want to store information that doesn't fall into any pre-build fields you will have to have some customization accomplished on the system
Most PIM like systems have the ability to have pre-formatted printed versions of the stored data generated as needed	Most PIM like systems store the information locally to that PC and do not work well sharing the information to multiple computers at the same time
Because the system is storing the information for you with most PIM like systems you will not have to worry about file names or where the information is stored on your computer	If you have multiple people keep parts of the information on their individual systems then you will have a difficult time searching the entire set of data electronically because most PIM-like systems do not have cross-system search capabilities.
Most PIM like systems allow you to export the information into a diverse set of formats that could be used for backing up or exchanging information with other people
