From the supplier: In 1986 Norfolk Public Schools, Norfolk, VA, realized they were no longer able to use systems developed in-house to manage student recordkeeping. The first step in creating a new program was to conduct a comprehensive requirements study, which showed two major areas of concern: a problem with data accuracy and the need for more timely access to data. A relational data base management system was determined to be the best solution. The software selected was SQL/DS, Cross System Product and Query Management Facility. The first two major tasks were to integrate the various files into one data base and to develop a comprehensive online system that the clerical staff could use to manage records. Thirty online programs were developed, but, since they used the same design, learning time was minimized. In 1989, the school added a call-in reporting service which uses Query Management Facility. This service was so popular almost 300 reports were produced in the first 6 months. Underestimation of the resource requirements of the new software tools was a major problem.
