    According to the given task, it is expected to create the database for the management of the company. Such organization as dentist clinic has chosen for development. In order to collect information, many sources with such kinds of clinics were investigated and used for this purpose. The main ones are http://www.medtorgrf.ru and http://www.mosdental.ru, in which necessary medicines, instruments and main procedures were revealed for the implementation of dental activity. Besides, it is necessary to identify the types of systems to which the designed database belongs. As a result of the research, the transaction processing system (TPS) is the most suitable for the implemented functions of the data bank for the following reasons. The first is the relation of this system to the operational level. Laudon and Laudon (2006) indicate that the systems of this level allows helping the managers to monitor the activity of the company and business operations associated with earnings, sales, paysheet and material flows in the plant while other systems of such levels as management and strategic focus on controlling, reporting and prognosis of sales for future, considering environmental factors. The second reason is the operation’s principle of TPS is similar to the developed database. Chaffey et al., (2003) confirm that the system saves the day-to-day bargains during the conducting of the business, and pay for products and services is provided as an example of such a system. The last reason is the necessity of TPS for manages to track the condition of inner operations and interaction of the company with exterior environment. Authors add that the TPS is “the major producer of information for the other types of systems” (p. 44).

    We identified two main sources to assist in data analysis, which are business intelligence (BI) and data visualization. Business intelligence is a technological process enabling users to present the maximum amount of data in order to make better decisions. Its advantage is to present all sorts of information coming from both internal and external sources combined into a dashboard that would raise the level of information during the decision making process. Data visualization is a process to assist decision makers in truly considering the importance of data placed in a visual context. The aim is to reveal through visual effects (like graphs, bars, diagrams) the phenomenon or trends that would not be detected otherwise.
