In any automated system, there must be a repository where every data that the company uses must be effectively stored. At the start of the office hour up to the end, all information must be fed into the database for constant update.

Proper management of company documents whether electronic or not, helps the business flourish. With that in mind, your company must prioritize a well organized office document.

DATABASE DESIGN DOCUMENT

Electronic means of storing data should have a good design. System developers must think of a proper design to store all the information needed by the company in such a way that it is easy to store large amount of data and later on retrieve only the needed information and draw meaningful analysis from it otherwise known as reports.

Such designs are being documented for future reference in case the system needs modifications. Proper documenting is important especially if the system needs to be developed by many people so as not to create confusions.

There are instances wherein their will be a slight changes in the line up of the system developers. If a new programmer has to work with the project, there should be no problem regarding with the familiarity with the system development if everything is documented including the database design document.

INSIDE THE DATABASE DESIGN

You should find in database design document information on how data is stored. For example, simple employee information must have a detailed procedure on how to store them on the database.

Information such as employee’s first name is considered an atomic data often termed as field. Related fields are grouped into a single table. Finally, there are fields from different tables that are related with one another and thus completing the database structure.

It is the job of the database designers to create an efficient design that will minimize redundant entries of information at the same time taking in consideration that no important information is lost.
