10 Sep For this activity will you use the process diagrams and data table from Module 1- MIS Project 1a: Identifying

For this activity will you use the process diagrams and data table from Module 1- MIS Project 1a: Identifying Processes. This data table identifies the actor, major steps, detailed steps, type of data, and the way data is used.

What do I post?   Explain how and why the data collected is important to both the customer and the organization (Amazon). Provide citations and references for any direct/indirect citations.

· In your post narrative (no more than 500 words), submit your table after making any necessary changes.

· Using that data table (from MIS Project 1a) as a model, create a basic table to include in this discussion narrative.

· Using your Module readings, identify what type of data you have in the data type field and explain how the data is used- i.e. written, updated, etc.

· Next, identify how data is stored in the logical structure of a relational database (i.e. data dictionary).

· Finally, explain how and why the data collected is important to both the customer and the organization (Amazon).
