4 pages (total 1,200–1,600 words), not including cover page and referencesAssume that you are a software development architect of a global company that has over 50,000 employees working in 15 countries and 50 offices. You have accepted a task that requires you to design a new cloud-based, unified, business contract-management software system to replace the company’s old business contract-management system, which was built based on the data management systems from three different software venders: Oracle DB, Microsoft SQL Server, and SAS Business Intelligence. The main goals for this project are (1) to remove the difference between the user interfaces of all three data management systems and to provide unified access to all of the required business functionality; (2) to also enhance the security and reliability of the business data; and (3) to improve the system availability and performance.You are required to conduct the following tasks in this sequence order:Based on the specification of the IP above, identify at least 5 specific functional requirements and at least 3 nonfunctional requirements of the software. Then, distribute all of the requirements into at least 3 use cases, and use UML use case diagrams to present all of your use cases. Please present the reasons for your choices of these requirements and use cases.Research, through the library and the Internet, for information about the software design paradigm. Select 2 different software design paradigms that can be used for this project, and discuss the pros and cons of each software design paradigm. Then, identify which one you will use, and present the reasons for your decision.Conduct detailed, high-level architecture design for the software. Specify user interfaces and associated use cases, specify software components and the interactions/communications between the components, and specify which component will support which use case or user interface.Document all of the results and details produced in the first three steps in a document titled “Software Architecture Overview” by following the template given below.Template for Software Architecture Overview DocumentCover Page:TitleCourse numberStudent nameDate of completionContent Pages: (4 Pages)Background InformationFunctional requirementsNonfunctional requirementsUser Interfaces SpecificationAssociations between requirements and use cases (including UML use case diagrams)Associations between use cases and user interfaceComponents OverviewComponents specificationsInteraction/communication between componentsSupporting relationship between components and use casesDesign RationalePros and cons of software design paradigm 1Pros and cons of software design paradigm 2Your choice and rationaleReferences Page in APA FormatPlease list at least 4 references (textbooks and the 2 references used in this assignment description can be used as well).

This assignment consists of two sections: a design document and a revised project plan. You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment it is written for. Additionally, you may create and/or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.One of the main functions of any business is to transform data into information. The use of relational databases and data warehousing has gained recognition as a standard for organizations. A quality database design makes the flow of data seamless. The database schema is the foundation of the relational database. The schema defines the tables, fields, relationships, views, indexes, and other elements. The schema should be created by envisioning the business, processes, and workflow of the company. Since your company is an innovative Internet-based company, movement toward data warehousing seems to be one of the most viable options to give your company a competitive advantage; however, these concepts must be explained to the executive board in a manner to garner support. InstructionsSection 1: Design DocumentWrite a 6–10 page design document in which you:Support the need for the use of relational databases and data warehousing. From a management standpoint, it may be important to show the efficiencies that can be gained for executive oversight. Create a database schema that supports the company’s business and processes. Explain and support the database schema with relevant arguments that support the rationale for the structure. Note: The minimum requirement for the schema should entail the tables, fields, relationships, views, and indexes.Identify and create database tables with appropriate field-naming conventions. Then, identify primary keys and foreign keys, and explain how referential integrity will be achieved. Normalize the database tables to third normal form (3NF). Identify and create an Entity-Relationship (E-R) Diagram relating the tables of the database schema through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Visio or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length but must be included in the design document appendix. Explain the rationale behind the design of your E-R Diagram. Identify and create a Data Flow Diagram (DFD) relating the tables of your database schema through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Visio or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length but must be included in the design document appendix. Explain the rationale behind the design of your DFD. Illustrate the flow of data including both inputs and outputs for the use of a data warehouse. The diagram should map data between source systems, operational systems, data warehouses and specified data marts. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.Section 2: Revised Project PlanUse Microsoft Project to:Update the project plan (summary and detail) template, from Project Deliverable 2: Business Requirements, with 3–5 new project tasks, each consisting of 5–10 subtasks.The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:Prepare a design document proposing the configuration of database and data warehousing technologies to meet business requirements for a project.
