Kubera ko ari co gikoresho nyamukuru co gupima amazi akoreshwa, ibipimo vy’amazi birafise uruhara runini mu kibano ca none. Kuva mu ngo gushika mu nganda, kuva ku gufumbira uburimyi gushika ku mirongo y’amazi yo mu bisagara, ibipimo vy’amazi si vyo gusa bishingiyeko mu gutanga amafaranga y’amazi ariko kandi ni igikoresho gihambaye mu gucunga no kubungabunga ubutunzi bw’amazi.
Igikorwa nyamukuru c’igipimo c’amazi ni ugupima neza amazi atemba mu muyoboro, haba mu buryo bw’amashini canke mu buryo bw’ubuhinga bwa none, hanyuma akandika amakuru mu metero kibe canke muri litiro. Ivyo bipimo vy’amazi vy’ubuhinga bwa kera bikoresha uruja n’uruza rw’amazi kugira ngo bikoreshe umuvuduko w’amazi, uwo muvuduko ukaba uhindurwa ikimenyetso c’ubuhinga bwa none biciye ku nzira y’ivyuma. Ku rundi ruhande, ibipimo vy’amazi vy’ubuhinga bwa none bikoresha ubuhinga bw’umuyagankuba, ubuhinga bw’amajwi canke ubuhinga bw’amajwi kugira ngo bishobore gutanga amakuru kure no kugenzura igihe nyaco-. Ukwo gutera imbere kw’ubuhinga bwa none kwahinduye ibipimo vy’amazi biva ku bikoresho vyoroshe vyo gupima bikaba igice gihambaye c’uburyo bwo gucunga amazi mu buryo bw’ubwenge.
Mu bikorwa vyo mu nzu, ibipimo vy’amazi bitanga amakuru asobanutse yerekeye uko amazi akoreshwa, bikabafasha gutahura ingeso zabo zo gukoresha amazi no guteza imbere ubumenyi bwo kubungabunga amazi. Gusoma amametero ubudasiba biratuma inzego zijejwe gucunga amazu zishobora kubara amafaranga y’amazi mu buryo bubereye kandi bubereye, mu gihe kandi zishobora kumenya ningoga ukuntu amazi akoreshwa mu buryo budasanzwe no gukingira ingorane nk’ugusohoka kw’amazi mu miyoboro. Ku masosiyete atanga amazi, urusobe rw’ibipimo vy’amazi ni rwo rushingira intahe amakuru y’uburyo bwose bwo gutanga amazi. Mu gusuzuma ingene amazi akoreshwa mu karere, barashobora gutuma imirongo y’amazi igenda neza be n’ingene amazi akoreshwa neza, gutyo bagatuma amazi akoreshwa neza.
Ukwemerwa kwagutse kw’ibipimo vy’amazi vy’ubwenge biriko birahindura cane uburyo amazi akoreshwa mu buryo bwa kera. Ivyo bikoresho bica bikorakoranya kandi bikarungika amakuru, bikaba bishoboza gusoma ibipimo biri kure no kugenzura igihe nyaco-, bikagabanya cane igiciro c’abakozi. Uburyo buteye imbere cane burashobora kumenya aho amazi asohoka, bukamenya aho amazi akenewe, mbere no gukorana n’uburyo bwo gucungera ivyihutirwa vyo mu gisagara kugira ngo bumenye ningoga aho hari ingorane mu gihe habaye ivyihutirwa nk’aho amatiyo aturika. Hariho n’ibipimo vy’amazi vy’ubwenge bifise ubuhinga bwo kugenzura uburyo amazi ameze, bikamenya ibintu bidasanzwe biri mu mazi kugira ngo amazi abe meza.
Kubera ko ubutunzi bw’amazi kw’isi yose bugenda buragabanuka, ibikorwa vyo gupima no gucunga amazi vy’ibipimo vy’amazi bizorushiriza kugira akamaro. Mu gihe kizoza, ubuhinga bwo gupima amazi buzobandanya gutera imbere mu buryo bubereye cane, bukoresha ubushobozi buke, kandi bugakurikirana ibipimo vyinshi-. Ugufatanya cane n’ubuhinga bwa none nka Internet y’ibintu n’amakuru manini bizotanga infashanyo ikomeye yo kwubaka uburyo bwo gucunga neza amazi mu buryo buramba. Ivyo ntibizofasha gusa mu gutuma amazi akoreshwa neza, ariko kandi bizotuma habaho uguteza imbere ibisagara vy’ubwenge.
