My final project: Kisukioni Dispensing Chemist Management Information System software in

Dissertation Topic: Application of database development lifecycle in automating a dispensing
chemist (case study)
Project Abstract
An organization data is a valuable resource that should be safeguarded and managed in an efficient manner. Such
management should involve procedures that make it possible to store, retrieve, alter and retain integrity of data. For
this reasons, many organizations have invested significantly in development of information management systems
that aid their daily transactions. In addition, some businesses such as pharmaceutical outlets are required by law
and the pharmaceutical ethics and code of conduct to keep safely and securely the clients’ information. Cabinet
filling system cannot meet these requirements hence the need for organizations to adopt electronic databases.
Unfortunately, many organizations spend colossal amounts of money only to have poorly developed systems that
hardly meet their requirements. This is as a result of lack of a careful approach in development process.
A research into the area of database system development lifecycle has been reviewed. Issues that arise in each
phase of development process have been analyzed from varied authors’ point of views. Methods, techniques and
tools such as structured system analysis design methodology (SSADM), CASE tools, interviews, questionnaires etc,
appropriate for each stage of development are reviewed. A background of our client and the challenges he faces
with paper-based information storage are mentioned. Oracle software and structured query language are briefly
reviewed and used to develop a database system for our case study – Kisukioni Dispensing Chemist. Essential
security measures for relational database systems are reviewed as part of physical design. Evidently, security risks
emanate from within the organization and access to data should be limited to what is necessary to carry-out tasks
for each user.
