*"From Databases to Business Intelligence*

Database and database management systems (DBMS) have become an essential 
component of everyday life in modern society. The knowledge of DBMS is 
mandatory for every information systems graduate because practically 
every software or a system application today is developed in DBMS 
environment. Course presents a comprehensive overview of Database 
Management systems. This course shall cover fundamentals of data base 
management technology and practice of database and data management 
systems design, implementation, and application. This course is purely 
applied course. Students will understand how to be a consultant to 
prepare a proposal for database application development. Students would 
get an opportunity to design the database for their own proposal. Once 
the database design is ready, discussion would be on how to handle 
database administration and database tuning and performance issues. In 
next stage, students would be given inputs for understanding how to 
migrate to ERP, data warehouse and finally business intelligence. A 
Group project (comprising 3 or 4 students) will be run throughout the 
semester for an application design and development. This course will 
supplement the knowledge and skills of database knowledge that students 
may have from earlier database courses at University of Turku.

The course will address the following questions:

a.What are the different approaches to system development?

b.What is a Database and what are the Data Base Management Systems? Why 
the uses of DBMS are preferred over File Management Systems in any 
system design?

c.How to design and develop systems using DBMS approach?

d.How to Normalize and develop a Conceptual Data Model for a given 
application?

e.What problems may arise in different phases at designing and 
implementation of Database application?

f.How to address performance tuning and database administration concerns

g.How to migrate to ERP

h.What are distributed databases and data warehousing?

i.What is business intelligence"
