Whilst Ingenuity comprises of a number of modules, all information is held within a single database. Each module accesses only that information that is pertinent, and which users have been granted access to.

This means that there is only one entry point, so no data is input, or held, more than once. For example, data entered from within the HR module, such as details of a new employee, will be available automatically to users of the Payroll module.

The structure of Ingenuity's ‘normalised’ database ensures on-line access to all information that has ever been entered into, or calculated by Ingenuity itself, for ever.
