The purchase points which are on Sentosa and on main land will be connected to each other through the centralized system. 5. Update of data occurred in any point will result into the update of the database. 6. Both the database will be separate and will be connected in the cloud database architecture. Play pass related issues Medium 1. The guests will receive will individual identity number. 2. The numbers will be different for foreigners and locals. 3.

The same process will be carried out for distinguishing the activities of the Islander member. Ticketing database and database related issues High 1. As the database will be connected to the cloud and maintained by it any initiation of process will result in modification of database. 2. For eliminating the duplication issue, master data management will be incorporated in the cloud system (Heikkinen and Pekkola 2013). 3. To make sure that the transactions get completed every time the system will incorporate some protocols that will check the transaction process several times. Discounts Low 1. The system will store the id of the individual guests (Wang et al. 2012). 2. The same id will be used every time the users access the services of Sentosa. 3. Through this the total amount of access to the service by the user can be calculated. 4. The cloud will store all the information regarding this activity. No fresh model High 1. The systems will be developed in units and will be deployed in cloud. 2.

Catherine CHEW, Suzanne HO, Andy JOHNSTON Providing the basic functional requirements of the system. Progress Tracking: The individual employee of the project will be responsible for documenting their work on daily basis and their progress report will be shared to the project manager. The project leader will send the complete development of every day to the owner of the project (Chomal and Saini 2013). The functionalities of the system are shared with the marketing and sales department.
