Abstract
Parkview Pet Hospital is continuously searching for new deployments in their information technology architecture. As such, the organization needs a centralized system for recording and tracking key business processes and the data/metadata they create, as well as storing data regarding the company's inventory, employees, clients, client’s pets, and critical organizational actions. The problem, as it stands, is that the hospital lacks a robust system for storage of data, as well as templates for data entry, and reporting services that reliably produce the properly formatted data that serves both employees and clients alike. Parkview Pet Hospital has used many practice management softwares in the past but the cons often outweigh the pros. Therefore, there is a need for an easy-to-use, low-cost/free, open-source database system for operational enterprise data storage, as well as a dependable website-hosting system and accompanying database. Finally, there is a need for a well-designed, modern website that allows for easier customer interaction, as well as a portal for staff to quickly execute queries on patient and client records.
