Routine millimagnitude photometry may require a new approach to reduction of photometric errors. Such an approach is outlined in this paper; it stresses elimination of each error as close to its source as possible. The possibilities provided by modern technology are reviewed in this light. An engineering design group dedicated to photometry is a prerequisite and an on-site photometric technician may be necessary. In this concept, observers are mainly remote users of a database. Implied is the idea of accurate photometry necessarily developing into a single but multi-site astronomical facility (cf. VLBI) and the communal discipline that goes with it.
