A local organization is having issues with their data. Their current data storage system is comprised of two databases and many spreadsheets, which are used by several people for a variety of purposes. They are finding that using and maintaining this data is difficult, as it has several entry points. Updates are needed in more than one location, duplicate records are being created, and they are finding errors in information. Important reports on the data can be inaccurate and are difficult to create.
The needs of this organization will be met by designing a new database. By centralizing their data into one database, there will only be one location for entering and manipulating the data. This will reduce data inaccuracies and unreliability, increase efficiency and data integrity, and simplify report creation. The information gathered for the database and its design will be used for implementation in future semesters.
