The stored procedures needed to fill in the correct fields and ensure that the data warehouse did not have duplicate records or people. The data warehouse also needed to map to the original data and expose information that did not identify specific people for the end-users.

The application also contained key performance indicator (KPI) screens/reports for management and staff. The application had up to 90 concurrent users. 3) The third project was an ASP.NET/DotNetNuke application that handled data from external sources, allowed users to manage the data, and allowed the processed data to be used by multiple applications.
