Abstract
This research is part of a year long project commissioned by the Marine Corps Institute to develop the architecture and supporting migration plan to transition from an existing legacy system to an open, client/server based relational database management system (DBMS) for the Student Services Department (SSD). The objective of this thesis is to develop the As-Is process model, redesign the processes to increase efficiency and reduce costs, and develop a To-Be process model to improve the current business processes. Additionally, data flow diagrams of the To-Be processes are developed to assist in prototype design and implementation. The DoD standard IDEFO modeling technique is used for developing the process models. implementation recommendations include: (1) adopting an ongoing reengineering strategy at MCI supported by the information systems architectures, methodologies and CASE tools, and (2) utilizing a single database to facilitate data sharing among MCI departments, streamline processes, far facilitate automation, eliminate data redundancy, and improve customer service
