Remember that this is a work in progress and in all likelihood, you will have to make numerous
changes to your tables and schema as you go along. These changes are to be expected and are
a normal part of the database design and implementation process.
Please refer to the sections below for details regarding deliverables for each task.

The first task is to create your business narrative. Some of the questions that you should
address include (but are not limited to) the following.
· What is the name of your business?
· Who will be the users of the system (managers, employees, customers)?
· What product(s) and or service(s) does it sell? Be specific.
· Who are the customers? What is the customer base?
· What sales and distribution channels are used?
· How are payments made?
· Are products delivered or shipped to customers in some way?
· Are sales reps involved? Are they paid on commission?
· What type of reports are needed by the business?
Please include as much detail as possible in order to provide a foundation for Task 1. Submit
your proposal as a Word document. Note that this proposal may be revised in the coming
