Evaluating the Solution

I am happy to have finished with my database and it seems to be good and matches the criteria well. According to me I think that my plan for the creation of the database went well and seemed easy to follow. My presentation of the database to others (client) seemed to be detailed and had all the parts needed to create a basic Database with it's forms, queries and reports.
I think that if I could have managed my time a bit better I would have been able to make my database have some unique features for example my form could have been a bit more detailed and eye catching.
Before beginning by database I should have done a bit of research as I lacked some relevant knowledge on databases which if I had known I would have been more confident while going through the creation. This links the Investigation part and the Creation part the most as the knowledge I earn while going through the investigation take can come in handy when creating the database. My plan worked out the best because it was easy to understand and I was able to follow it well with very few doubts on my time consumption.
In terms of global context I seem to have met my target of creating a new way for my client to store important information that is required by the shop. I have learnt a few things while creating the database such as the tiny procedures required to create forms, queries and reports and especially how to manage time to create these parts and put them together to form a database.
For my create part I made a few adjustments by including a new field called Supplier code as I needed to make a relationship between the two table. The supplier code was the primary key for the supplier table and it was not the primary key for the product table.
Finally to answer the unit question (How can a Business or an Organisation modernize its records using information technology) a business or organisation can create databases consisting of tables to store and record any time of data whether it is for the supply of product or even if it is for the production of the product every detail can be recorded to make running a business organised and easier.

Peer Assessment:
I was assessed by Anirudh and Jiwon. They assessed me on my analysis and inquiring, developing ideas and my creation. It was clear that my introduction was not clear as both my peers were not able to locate it as it was not in a lot of detail and in my analysis and inquiry in the form of the scenario. I did not have an analysis of three different forms of creating a database therefore I did not include the advantages and disadvantages of each one. I had no references because I did not do any research but I should have as it would have made my work stronger and more reliable.
In the developing of the ideas I missed out on including the advantages and disadvantages and for one main reason that was because I didn't have anything to compare my choice with.
Other than for those factors my blog included everything which was identified by my peers.
