Imagine that you work for a consulting firm that offers information technology and database services. Part of its core services is to optimize and offer streamlined solutions for efficiency. In this scenario, your firm has been awarded a contract to implement a new personnel system for a government agency. This government agency has requested an optimized data repository for its system which will enable the management staff to perform essential human resources (HR) duties along with the capability to produce ad hoc reporting features for various departments. They look forward to holding data that will allow them to perform HR core functions such as hiring, promotions, policy enforcement, benefits management, and training.

Using this scenario, write a 34 page paper in which you:

• Determine the steps in the development of an effective Entity Relationship Model (ERM) Diagram and determine the possible iterative steps/factors that one must consider in this process with consideration of the HR core functions and responsibilities of the client.
• Analyze the risks that can occur if any of the developmental or iterative steps of creating an ERM Diagram are not performed.
• Select and rank at least 5 entities that would be required for the development of the data repositories.
• Specify the components that would be required to hold time-variant data for policy enforcement and training management.
• Diagram a possible 1:M solution that will hold salary history data, job history, and training history for each employee through the use of graphical tools. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
• Plan each step of the normalization process to ensure the 3NF level of normalization using the selected 5 entities of the personnel database solution. Document each step of the process and justify your assumptions in the process.
• Diagram at least 5 possible entities that will be required to sustain a personnel solution. The diagram should include the following:
  • Dependency diagrams.
  • Multivalued dependencies.
  • Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Paper should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (12-point), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, your professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
• Include charts or diagrams created in a drawing tool with which you are familiar. The completed diagrams or charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

Many legacy systems require normalization. Identify at least two factors that should be considered in order to produce an optimal normalized set of tables when performing normalization. Include in your discussion a detailed example on how each factor would eliminate data redundancy.

Optimal database design recognizes proper organization of table structures and relationships. Suggest at least two methods that can be used to improve the design of a database system

 Discuss what role end-users typically play in incident reporting? Should end users be encouraged to report suspicious occurrences? If so, why; if not, why not. What factors typically influence the end-user decision to report (or not report) a potential incident?

Prompt B: Technology Takes Sides

In a world of social networking, Instagrams, Twitter, Pinterest, instant messaging, and Facebook, technology can help spread the word. These networks can organize and mobilize individuals from around the globe, sometimes for political or humanitarian purposes. World perspectives on local events can help shape response, action, and policy. Have you used technology or social media to learn about or share information about an event?

In this Discussion you will analyze the role of technology in global events, using this weeks Learning Resources and Week 4 Notes and Readings.

To prepare for the Discussion:

Consider the following:

• Do you follow people on Twitter?
• Do you tweet, use Pinterest, Facebook, or instant message your friends? How often?
• Revisit the Tweeting Towards Freedom article in thisweeks Notes and Readings.
• Consider if there a downside to have so much access? Identify an example of how new communication technologies have had an impact on the world stage and the impact it made.
• Consider how the immediacy of communication can impact the spread of information about world events-both good and bad.Post a response (at least 200300 words) to the following prompt:

Not long ago, we had to wait for the evening news or morning newspaper to find out what happened in the world. In todays technological world we have instantaneous access to global events. Some believe that the nature of instantaneous access to global events has strong political impact.

Select a current event happening in the world or your community. Describe the event, why you picked it, and explain how technology played a role in the way the news of this event spread. Discuss the benefits and downside of having so much access to local and world news.
