1. Write a four pages design document in which you:
. Support the need for data warehousing within your company and elaborate on the best practices that the company will adhere to.
. Create a schema that supports the company’s business and processes. Explain and support the database schema with relevant arguments that support the rationale for the structure. Note: The minimum requirement for the schema should entail the tables, fields, relationships, views, and indexes.
. Create an Entity-Relationship (E-R) Diagram relating the tables of your database schema through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Visio or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length but must be included in the design document appendix. Explain your rationale behind the design of your E-R Diagram.
. Create a Data Flow Diagram (DFD) relating the tables of your database schema through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Visio or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length but must be included in the design document appendix.
. Illustrate the flow of data including both inputs and outputs for the use of a data warehouse. The diagram must map data between source systems, data warehouses and specified data marts. The diagram should map data between source systems, data warehouses, and specified data marts. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
· Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
· Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
· Include charts or diagrams created in MS Visio or Dia as an appendix of the design document. All references to these diagrams must be included in the body of the design document.
2. Update the project plan from Project Deliverable 2: Business Requirements, with three to five (3-5) new project tasks each consisting of five to ten (5-10) sub-tasks.
· Summarize how information systems represent a key source of competitive advantage for organizations.
· Develop information systems-related activities to maximize the business value within and outside the organization.
· Use technology and information resources to research issues in information systems.
· Write clearly and concisely about strategic issues and practices in the information systems domain using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.
Project Deliverable 3: Database and Data Warehousing Design
This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a design document and a revised project plan. You
must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file
name according to the section of the assignment it is written
for. Additionally, you may create
and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
One of the main functions of any business is to be able to use data to leverage a strategic
competitive advantage. This feat hinges upon a company’s ability to transform data into quality
information. The use of relational databases is a necessity for cont
emporary organizations;
however, data warehousing has become a strategic priority due to the enormous amounts of data
that must be analyzed along with the varying sources from which data comes. Since you are now
the CIO of a data
-
collection company which g
athers data by using Web analytics and operational
systems, you must design a solution overview that incorporates data warehousing. The executive
team needs to be clear about what data warehousing can provide the company.
