Assignment Details

A local company needs an order-entry system to be developed so that it can effectively manage the increasing growth in customer base and related orders. In a recent discussion with a consultant, the company was told about two-tier and n-tier architectures, but it is unsure what the best option for its system is. The company knows that it needs to be able to support code reusability, and it seeks to be able to eventually use the database in a data warehouse.

In addition to writing a paper to address the above scenario, you also need to ensure that Visual Studio 2019 is installed on your computer and ready for the Unit 2-4 IP assignments, which require it. If you already have it installed, you may still need to add components in order to do those assignments. An installation guide is available in the BSIT LibGuide, which can you access by clicking here. Look for it under the “Installation Guides” section on the left side of the screen.

When you are finished installing Visual Studio, take a screen shot of Visual Studio 2019 running on your computer (the first screen that appears) and paste the image into the last page of this paper (after References), which should be otherwise empty.
