Scenario: Imagine you are an employee of Party Plates, a company
that manufactures decorative paper plates and napkins for special
events. Your team has been assigned a new project. The president of
your company has tasked you with improving the efficiency of the

Access®. You have also been tasked with identifying potential
collaborative software that may improve internal communications and
help streamline some of the work processes for the sales department.
Prepare a 350- to 700-word proposal addressing the potential
implementation of new information systems in your organization.
Explain the usefulness of converting data currently held in
Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheets into a relational database using
Microsoft® Access®.
Describe the benefits of using Microsoft® Access® in the work
environment.
Include suggestions for the future use of collaborative software and
how it can help the sales department improve communications and
streamline work processes.
Format your proposal consistent with APA guidelines.
