Analyze the university’s requirements and provide a proposal to
organize all the required data elements. The proposal should include
the following:
Provide an Entity Relationship Model (ERM) that will describe the
data structure that will store all data elements. Note: The graphically
depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
Describe any assumptions or limitations for each relationship. For
example, professors are able to teach more than one course or students
can only be enrolled in one program.
Create the primary key and foreign keys using a UML Class diagram
for each table.
Suggest at least four (4) types of business intelligence reports that
could help the university in course management, student enrollment,
or historical tracking. Support your answer by providing specific
business functions that these reports could assist executives of the
university.
As an alternative for development of the database, you are considering
outsourcing the functions above. Research the Internet and other
media sources for vendors who develop registrar and school
management database systems.
Suggest three (3) vendors that developed and are employing efficient
registrar and school management database systems and support your
reasons to choose from one (1) of these three (3) vendors.
Compare and contrast the key aspects that each system offers.
Examples of system aspects include but not limited to cloud based,
pricing model, open source, etc.
