The recovered database would be remounted on a database server of its type with a view to interpreting the database. Here, it is required to identify the database objects, recreate the scheme diagram to understand the exact design of the database. Transform the table to the unique NDIC scheme for failed institution.
- Provide a web based software solution where the relevant banking transaction data of the various failed banks would subsequently be uploaded into such that users with permission would be granted access to modules that are relevant to their privileges and they may require information. They should be able to query transactional information of the clients of the failed bank once it is uploaded to this platform, and obtain print out of relevant information from this application.
- Produce findings and reporting document at the end of the entire process to be submitted to the ITD of the NDIC.
