JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

But start with documenting *everything* about what that DB does and how its used, and possibly try and draw diagrams of how the business processes work. Everything in business can be thought of as a flow of money, resources, or information through a set of processes and rules. identify those and your half way there.


For this step I’ve seen good results by stepping through the process using a screen capture app and talking through the flow. Then giving a tech writer the video and have them develop the documentation. It’s an added cost but doesn’t overly burden the staff with additional work.
