Our company is on the cusp of creating a new product, we understand our users and what they need, we have a vision for our product, what we are missing in order to be able to move toward development is are the models required to guide the developers.

We are looking for a group who is interested in learning what it takes to move a start up forward, and, who is interested in working with us to develop the information architecture and data model artifacts for the product.

• What are our business processes?
• How do we structure our business information?
• What kinds of information do we use within these processes?
• What kinds of information do we store?
• Where does it come from? Where does it go? 

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Understanding of the logistics quoting process
• Understanding of product goals and outcomes
• Clear linkages between the goals and outcomes and the physical data model

Bonus steps would include:

• Recommending improvements for design

Final deliverables should include:

• A conceptual logical data model and a physical data model
• A final report.
• A 10-minute presentation.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Our industry, products and services
• Our current understanding of our functional and non-functional requirements
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
