Maintenance includes, but not limited to, correcting errors, backing up and recovering data, supporting end users, and enhancing the system. This will make the system run better, and last longer. This insures that the Bead Bar doesn’t loose vital information that is stored on the database. Although the daily/weekly maintenance can be costly, it is worth the time, money and effort to know essential information is safe and secure. <br> The Bead Bar is in need of a network that can handle all of their business requests, and the possibility for growth in the future. The Bead Bar company needs to use a peer-to-peer architecture. This is when any computer in the network is capable of sharing its resources, such as disk space and printers, with any other computer. Employees of the Bead Bar can access any files or records that someone else has created on a different computer. If one employee designs a new template for pricing, everyone else in the company has access to the file. It would be chaotic if all computers did not do the same tasks. People would get mad, and customers would too. <br> In a peer-to-peer architecture, any computer can share its resources with all the other computers. This is very important to the Bead Bar because it makes their business more efficient. All computers need to be able to take payme ...

Preview: ... atabase Management System (DBMS). I would recommend an enterprise database management system in the form of a distributed database management system because of the large amount of data that needs to be accessed by the various employees. This specific type of database management system is good for tracking inventory and sales, which is exactly what the bead bar needs. Although this database management system is more complex than a Desktop Database Management System, I feel this is the way to go because of the level of organization it provides and the reliability that a distributed DBMS can provide. This specific DBMS can also add additional security. If the server is shut down for any reason, users can still access the data they need at another location. Only the location with the server will be primarily affected, so all the information will not be lost.<br>I believe the bead bar should hire a database administrator to handle tasks that the Bead Bar management does not know how to handle. A database is important for any company and needs to be handled professionally to avoid any snags or problems. A database administrator will perform four types of tasks; Management tasks (be a link between the users and the management), security tasks (secure the database on a <br>Page Four<br><br>continual basis), daily tasks (maintain the database and work with all the users) and planning tasks (develop policies and procedures for users). <br>Data mining should be preformed in order to find financial or other business patterns in the bead bars data. This will effectively and efficiently improve the Bead Bars business. I also believe that a nonvolatile data warehouse should also be implemented to contain all the ...

Preview: ... invoicing errors, and order fulfillment delays. The Bead Bar's information technology needs include the initialization of a business website, information sharing between locations, and data confidentiality and security; this means the Bead Bar is in need of a strong networking system which is vital for internal and external communications.<br>Computers are essential for a growing company. Anything from processing orders to ordering coffee for the break room with the recommendation from the group can be expedited with the use of a computer. The Bead Bar has made the following purchases: fifteen (15) desktop computers, two (2) notebook computers, and one (1) handheld computer. All of these machines will be running an updated version of Microsoft XP Pro. (Malaga, 2005)<br>The Bead Bar consists of multiple sites through out the country; therefore, a strong networking system is needed in order to communicate with a distributed database. The network will have to provide the stability needed to prevent downtime that would result if databases were located solely in the Bead Bar headquarters. A distributed database will connect to the headquarters and each location in the United States. <br>This database will need to be synchronized on a daily basis to keep inventory and customer information update. This database should effectively ensure that the customer does not experience any delays in receiving his/her ordered products. <br>The relational model database combines speed, flexibility, and ease of use. The Oracle 9i Database software, an enterprise database specifically designed to manage distributed data (Oracle 2008), would work well in this endeavor. The Oracle 9i meets the current and future needs for a stable and efficient database system. <br>A distributed database necessitates that all of the Bead Bar's computers be routed through a network and telecommunications system; the database must be configured properly through a network to enable it to operate at full capacity. (Malaga, 2005)<br>The managers of the Bead Bar have described the features each branch was most interested in or concerned about: unsightly appearance of a wired network, studios interconnected to each other and headquarters, an easier way to send and receive designs, access to corporate office from virtually anywhere, spee ...

Human Resources have also requested a software system that will allow all of the forms to be converted to a digital format. <br><br><br><br> <br><br>Systems Design <br> The Bead Bar will need a Database Management System that can store and be used to manipulate large amounts of data. The system must have security features to protect the financial information stored in their databases. Managers and employees will need access to the data. Multiuser access is a necessity. Sales and Marketing can use the query function to data mine for specific customer information and use it for the marketing and direct mail campaigns. The ability to query the databases will also allow easy access to information in a data warehouse. Programmers will customize the system to serve each of the individual purposes of the employees. <br> The best Database Management system for the Bead Bar would be a distributed database system so that each location or employee will be able to manipulate the data. Another favorable function is that if one server has a problem; it will only affect that server and not halt business at the other locations. Periodic updates to the main database would be scheduled automatically to occur at a time outside of business hours so that the update would not interrupt day-to-day transactions. A relational model database system would give Bead Bar the necessary structures to perform each individual’s tasks. The relational model could be structured so that the customer records and inventory database could be linked as well as the employee records are linked to the benefits, hours and payroll databases. <br> A Local Area Network (LAN) in tandem with Wide Area Networks (WAN) will enhance the Bead Bar’s ability to transmit data quickly and connect each location to the headquarters. The LANs will operate using Ethernet protocol as it i ...

They review documents, consult with users, and observe business operations to gain a clear understanding of the problem. They are mostly responsible for providing management with a written document that details the problem, identifies potential solutions, analyzes those solutions, and provides constructive recommendations. This means that Bead Bar would have a team thoroughly examine what they currently have, what they hope to accomplish, and what they will need to accomplish it. Staying on tract will be very important for the Bead Bar Company. <br> The third phase is systems design. In this phase, the development team describes in detail how the team will build the new system, what specific functions it should have, and what hardware and software it should contain. For a majority of the Bead Bar employees, I would recommend a desktop computer. A desktop computer does not take up much space, yet it holds a lot of information. In this phase, the team will also decide which database management system would be best for the Bead Bar. Database management systems are important because they can save the Bead Bar time and money. For the Bead Bar, I would recommend the Enterprise Management System. This system is large enough to handle all of the Bead Bar’s business needs. It is fast, reliable, and is something th ...

Antivirus software installed on each of the network’s computers will provide security against computer viruses and Trojans that could compromise the network. To satisfy the need for an attractive system at each location, wireless networks will be built. With the wireless access point serving as the hub, there will not be a need to run networking cable throughout any of the locations. A company intranet will allow all Bead Bar users to gain access to any of the information the system administrator allows (Malaga, 2005).<br>Two relational model databases, one each for human resources and marketing, are necessary to provide those departments the features they desire. One record in the human resources database will include an employee’s Social Security Number as the primary key. Other fields will include the employee’s name, address, telephone number, salary, and department. The foreign key in this record, department, can be the primary key in a record concerning various aspects of the separate departments. This type of managed redundancy ensures that any change to information contained in the database is changed throughout the database (Malaga, 2005).<br>The marketing database will include information on customers. Past purchases, contact information, and demographic information will help the marketing team develop targeted advertisements and special sales. Primary and foreign keys in this database will include customer name and specific product designs. This database can also be used to help track inventory levels, another concern of Bead Bar executives. Since purchases entered into the database will include the type and number of items sold, inventory can be tracked and reorder levels can be set. Some types of software will instantly alert those responsible for ordering of low inventory levels. This database will also contain all the financial information necessary for Julia to generate her reports, from Accounts Payable to Accounts Receivable (Malaga, 2005).<br>The Bead Bar executives have also expressed a desire for data warehousing and data mining capabilities. Solutions are available on the Internet for minimal monthly or ye ...
