by Daniel J. Power
Data from electronic surveillance devices may be falsified or inaccurate. The presumption can be that it is accurate, but the data should be examined for anomalies and implausible values.

Also, these electronic surveillance devices can capture and then store huge quantities of data. All surveillance data is not necessarily accurate and some data might actually be misleading.

Power & Heavin (2018) argue "Digital disruption is accelerating. Implementing a successful digital transformation strategy requires that senior managers make trade-off decisions to reinvent a business. Equally important all decision makers must learn to ask the right questions, use data and computer support in decision making, and increase their knowledge and skills. Creating a data-centric culture and rewarding data-based decision making leads to successful digital transformation."
