• Evaluate and Integrate several information sources in analysing Enterprise Systems
• Describe the role of enterprise systems as part of the larger IT infrastructure of large scale organisations.
• Identify relevant considerations in the implementation of Enterprise Systems.
• Demonstrate communication skills to present a coordinated, coherent and independent exposition of knowledge
and ideas in dealing with Enterprise Systems.
Time allocation: Approximately 30-40 hours
Weighting: 30%
Submission: Using your student e-Portfolio account, create a link from Moodle to your Mahara page as
indicated on the submission link. You are required to prepare your responses to the assessment tasks as a
page in your Mahara e-Portfolio. (To be submitted in Week 11)

Assessment Guidelines
Marking Criteria: A passing grade will be awarded to assignments adequately addressing all
assessment criteria. Higher grades require better quality and more effort. For example, a minimum is set
on the wider reading required. A student reading vastly more than this minimum will be better prepared
to discuss the issues in depth and consequently their report is likely to be of a higher quality. So before
submitting, please read through the assessment criteria very carefully. Marking guides are provided.
Feedback: Feedback will be provided by the lecturer/tutor via Mahara, and mark via Moodle, no later
than 2 weeks from the submission date

Assessment Details
Background
You have been commissioned by Julie from ABC Event Organisers to design a database to assist them with managing
their booking, customer and supplier information. At this stage you have only been commissioned to provide the design
of the database.
ABC would like to store information regarding their customers. Customers may either be individual or corporate
customers. For individual customers they would like to store the contact name, address details (including their location,
postal and delivery address details), email address and phone numbers (mobile, home, work). For their corporate
customers they would like to store the business name, a contact name, address details (including their location, postal
and delivery address details), email address, website URL, and phone numbers (mobile, work).
ABC has a number of different suppliers who provide them with the products that they require to organise events. For
each supplier they would like to store their business name, contact name, address details (including their location,
postal and delivery address details), and phone numbers (mobile, work).
Each supplier may provide a number of different products. For example a supplier may provide furniture such as chairs,
tables, or other items such as table clothes, cutlery and crockery. Suppliers may only provide one product or many
different products. ABC would like to be able to search their database to obtain a list of suppliers who supply particular
products, however, they do not need to know how many of each particular product the supplier stocks.
In the database ABC would also like to store information about their staff. Staff may be employed full-time, part-time or
on a casual basis. ABC need to store contact information for the staff (address and phone), along with their TFN. They

would also like to know what certifications the employees have. For example: “Responsible Serving of Alcohol”, “Food
Handling”, or any relevant police checks such as “Working with Children”. Each employee may hold a number of
different skills and certifications. Some staff are supervisors of other staff members and this also needs to be stored.
For each event ABC would like to store details such as where the event is to be held, the customer who they are
organising the event for, the date and time of the event, the type of event and how many people will be at the event.
ABC specialises in organising weddings, christenings, birthday parties and work functions. For each event they need to
store information about the supplies that they require (eg tables, chairs, cutlery), the supplier that they will be using for
the different products (they can use more than one), and how many of each product they require. ABC would also like
to store details of the staff that have been assigned to each event. Each event will have one staff member who takes
on the role of event manager.
Requirements
This assignment should be presented in a report format, including the following items:
• An ER Diagram with all entity names, attribute names, primary and foreign keys, relationships,
cardinality and participation indicated. All many to many relationships should be resolved.
• A discussion of normalisation, the normal form that each entity is in, how normalisation was
achieved, and why that is optimal. All entities to be in 3NF, unless there is strong justification
for leaving in 2NF.
• A list of relationships with all table names, attributes, primary and foreign keys indicated as
per the conventions given in the lecture slides (i.e. entity/table names in capitals, attributes as
proper nouns, primary key underlined and foreign keys in italics).
• A database schema indicating the type and purpose of all attributes.
