okay I have created the tables on the access database but I need help following the instructions on the pdf file. On the PDF File, disregard anything highlighted in yellow. If you’re going to do this project, you have to analysis my tables on the access database first, in order to complete that pdf file instruction. PLEASE IF YOU CAN’T DO THIS, LET ME KNOW NOW BECAUSE IT WILL BE DUE TOMORROW AND I DON’T WANT TO WAST ANY TIME!!!!

database system. Then copy and paste the list of specific requirements provided by Dr.
Willis for the new system to be built.
a. Substitute the label for the business process under study for your client in the blanks
before “data” in each requirement. For instance, if the business process under study for
your client is orders management, then you would substitute Orders Management for
the blank in front of “data” in each Requirements statement.
3. Add a paragraph after the list that describes the usefulness of the requirements in
determining alternative solutions to the client’s problem with the current system for
capturing, storing, processing and manipulating data generated from the business process
under study.

Homework Assignment H9.5 Draft of Alternative Solutions subsection of
Requirements Analysis
1. Open XXX_H9.4_Requirements_date created in H9.4. Save as
XXX_H9_5_Alternative_Solutions_date x to your Project folder.
2. Based on your previous description of your client’s current process for collecting data,
organizing, storing, retrieving, and manipulating data for a business process, write a
paragraph that describes the topics or themes that must be tracked in the new system, i.e.,
Orders Management data in general, but specifically data about customer, order, order
details, products, etc.
3. Based on your previous description of your client’s current process for collecting data,
organizing, storing, retrieving, and manipulating data for a business process and the
content learned from the Kroenke and Auer textbook, describe why a database would be
the best solution to the problems with the client’s current process. Cite source.
4. Write a paragraph that describes two alternative database template solutions.
a. Search for database templates that might meet your client’s requirements.
b. Find two sources of database applications that solve problems similar to the
problem(s) you have identified for your client’s system.
c. You need to analyze the table structures and relationships in the Relationship Window
of the templates, perhaps using screenshots to compare each template side by side.
d. Cite URL’s for web sites.
1. Add web site to Manage Sources feature of References menu.
2. Update References page.
3. Insert citation into the Alternative Solutions section of report for the web site of

5. Write a paragraph that describes which of the two templates fit the client’s requirements
the best. Why?
6. Describe the objects of the database template chosen to serve as a starting point for your
project database.
a. In a paragraph the individual tables’ properties and data types of the fields in each
table. Then look at the data in each of the tables—if the tables have been populated
with data. How will your client gather this data using your proposed new system?

output for your client. Describe the purpose of one report based on two tables. Would
this type of report be beneficial to your client?
