...Applications Paul Villela CSCI 4304:Database Systems Dr. Carolyn W. Green 2 December 2014 Business Intelligence Applications On the May 4th, 2014 episode of Mad Men (appropriately entitled “The Monolith”, a clever nod to the iconic black monolith which provides the impetus for the evolutionary leap from beast to man in Arthur C Clarke’s novel “2001: A Space Odyssey”) Sterling Cooper & Partners, the fictional ad agency around which the show revolves, purchases and installs a brand new IBM 360 computer. While the vast majority of the office greets the massive, expensive machine with much apprehension (“What man lay on his back counting stars and thought about a number?” asks Don Draper, head of the Creative Department (played by John Hamm)) (Stevenson, 2014), Senior Partner and visionary Jim Cutler (played by Harry Hamlin) understands the power and potential of just such a machine, particularly in the field of advertising. Sterling Cooper & Partners gain an edge that their competition would not have for several more years, as well as a service they can offer their customers, one many of whom would not provide for themselves for even longer. What Jim Cutler was envisioning was a strategic idea currently referred to as Business Intelligence. A Brief History of Business Intelligence The concept of Business Intelligence (BI) began as a direct descendent of an information system called the Decision Support System (DSS), a system used for complex decision making and problem...

This is required as foundational knowledge for the chapters to come. We will explore it at a business level and a minimal technical level. | | Evolution | | The business landscape has changed over the past seventy years in every significant way. Without information systems, these changes would not have occurred. To gain a perspective on the evolution of information systems, we can review the significant computer inventions from the first computer through to cloud computing. As computer technology progressed, new skills had to be learned, and new methods of management evolved to replace old hierarchical styles with new team based methods. Increased productivity resulting in new information technology caused the downsizing of employees that began in the late 1980s and has continued. Information systems consultants identified productivity gains, so large that they cut the numbers in half and still weren't believed. Many of the products and services we use every day had not been invented just five or ten years ago. The ability to communicate electronically with anyone anywhere in the world...

...Database Systems in the Office A database structure is a computer slang for an organized set of information that can be kept, recovered, added to or removed from with ease. Presently there are an assortment of databases and the nature of database will define how the information is organized when it is kept and how that information will be placed when it is called up. At Dell where I work for a hospital call Park Nicollet I know that they use HP Service manager, which is an object-relational database management system. Park Nicollet uses this database for making and tracking work tickets within the hospital. HP Service manager is used to track many things for instance work orders that are in progress, on hold, complete, items, shipping and receiving. HP Service manager is needed to keep up all of the work orders created for the IT department and its produces. One can research information about anything IT related for the hospital and know precisely how many work order are open, closed, and who is working on them. This process is much easier than calling someone on the phone to ask, what, when, any updates, or ETA on projects. It’s all documented in the service manager. Database Design Most databases are constructed around are a network database, flat database, relational database, and a hierarchical database. The relational style of database is the most frequently used but surely not the only type. The precise situation will define which flavor of database is best fit. HP Service...

...most valuable assets a company can have, it's a great addition to your skillset to know a little bit about SQL (pronounced “sequel”). SQL stands for Structure Query Language and is the standard language that is used to access and manipulate data and databases. With SQL you can execute commands known as “queries” that will either retrieve data, insert data, update data, or delete data. You can also do other administrative things that we’re not going to cover today like add/change tables, set permissions, and more. Why would someone use SQL? Anytime you want to store data, updated it, or retrieve it quickly in reports AND the data is too complicated (due to the amount or type) to manage in Excel, a DBMS can be used to maintain this in a database. SQL is the language you use to manage the data in the database. Examples of programs that use SQL would be Microsoft Access, SQL Server also by Microsoft, or MySQL which is a open source DBMS but there are many others) Background on the Structure of a Database and Tables A database most often contains one or more “tables”. Each table is identified by a name (e.g. "Customers" or "Orders"). Tables contain “records” (rows) with data. In this lab we will use a sample company database. Below is a selection from the "Customers" table: CustomerID | CustomerName | ContactName | Address | City | PostalCode | Country | 1 | Alfreds Futterkiste | Maria Anders | Obere Str. 57 | Berlin | 12209 | Germany | 2 | Ana Trujillo Emparedados...

...TUTORIAL-7 1. Determine if an entry in Wikipedia is an example of transactional information or analytical information. From the customer’s perspective Wikipedia entries are an example of analytical information. They are using the information to research a topic, make a decision, or perform an analysis. From Wikipedia’s perspective each entry is an example of transactional information since it is their primary business to gain entries from individual contributors. 2. What is the impact to Wikipedia if the information contained in its database is of low quality? If Wikipedia contained information that was inaccurate its customers would discontinue using it as a source for information. It could also find itself in legal trouble if it allows entries stating inaccurate information about people, which is known as defamation of character. This point is demonstrated in the case when Wikipedia had to start restricting access by tightening its rules for submitting entries following the disclosure that it ran a piece falsely implicating a man in the Kennedy assassination. 3. Review the five common characteristics of high quality information and rank them in order of importance to Wikipedia. • • • • • Timeliness – Wikipedia’s information must be timely. If users are receiving old and outdated entries, or no entries for a new topic, they will not continue using Wikipedia. An encyclopedia that is outdated is not very useful. Accuracy – Wikipedia’s entries must be accurate...
