Application Of Database Deployment For A Small Growing Company

SMW’s current accounting information system is a cutting edge relational database system through Microsoft Access with internal controls set to adequately prevent and detect errors and fraud. This relational database system tracks sales orders, shipments, accounts receivable, cash receipts, purchases, accounts payable, cash disbursements, inventory levels and other relevant accounting information. The system’s output is compliant with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The database processes currently in use at SMW are described below.

Should the company give employees the ability to look up inventory balances for items in their other stores?

Up until this point, Third Star Financial Services has operated via a succession of mergers and acquisitions where systems were inherited but never integrated into the network. Its data management has been virtually non-existent and entirely ineffective. Evidence of this can be found in the absence of an enterprise-wide data management solution and the presence of several disparate systems operating independently with no measurable benefit to the company. Due to a lack of actionable data, management makes decisions based on instinct rather than through analysis. A direct consequence of this is a steadily declining market share and loss of high-level employees to competing companies. Fortunately, this discrepancy has been identified and Third Star executives have established the new goal of modernizing and streamlining operations. Using concepts outlined by the Data Management Association (DAMA), this proposed enterprise architecture will allow Third Star to transform their data from a liability to an asset.

* Describe the role of databases and database management systems in managing organizational data and information.

I am glad I am a part of the software database search because it gives me greater incite on software to help LARS advance in technology as a human service organization.

It will create a clear purpose of the database and each one of the tables within making maintenance easy to perform on weekly basis and security breaches easy to spot. The quick and efficient accessibility of the data will improve timing in business reporting turnaround and therefor increase sales and profit by quick and easy business response to market changes. Security concerns will be limited by creating admin account that can control and modify the system and users that can access it without any system modifications allowed. Main server and system will be backed up on an external drive and supported by external power source so no data will be lost if database is not

It would be safe to assume that the head office also has different access levels and not all accounting staff would have access to make payments via the bank system. While I don't know this side it would be logically as a security mechanism to implement it this way.

The data warehouse contains all the information that both the chain managers as well personnel can access. This information helps them see which products are selling, how much, where more important points of sales are, which are needed in inventory and which items needs to be checked for quality etc. Similarly these databases also contain solid information about consumers such as what is the ratio of repeat customers, what age group needs to be targeted for advertising, which new group is emerging and how to stay in touch with consumers about new products and sales.

It allows the company to process transactions between customers, keep updated inventory, determine what supplies to order, and track open orders to suppliers. It is crucial that retail stores have a database management system in order to succeed with the demanding needs of teams and sport players in today’s environment.

Databases allow us to easily store and retrieve data in a purely digital format. The strength of this is that large amounts of data can be stored and retrieved with minimal effort on the part of the user. Opposed to manually flipping through files, one can quickly pull up the requested data through a computer program. Many systems that were conventionally paper and file based have been converted to a digital format which are now stored in one or more databases.

ESL Inc. has tasked me with the project of finding a new database system that will better meet the needs of their growing customer base. ESL is a large company that has been using a series of spreadsheets and access databases, and manual records to track their business and they are currently looking for a better way to streamline the inner workings of their business. After evaluating their current system, it is apparent, that if a decision to move forward hadn’t taken place within the next few months, their current system would start to fail, as they are reaching capacity in memory used and bandwidth running the various individual instances of Access on their network.

In 1977, Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates founded System Development Laboratories. After being inspired by a research paper written in 1970 by an IBM researcher titled “A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks” they decided to build a new type of database called a relational database system. The original project on the relational database system was for the government (Central

The data can easily loss because they only use a logbook to record their inventory data. With the system, it will help more on the security of the data. Inventory loss hard to detect because admin need to review one by one page in the logbook, but with the system developed, it may help the admin to detect the inventory in and out from the
