2. Case Study
Please read the attached MIS602_Assessment 3_Case Study.

3. Please watch the attached MIS602_Software Assets Management: Industry Insights_Interview.

4. Database Case Study Report
Based on the information provided in the case study and the video interview, create a functioning IT asset database that can be queried to meet the requirements of the business.

5. The database case study report should include the following elements:
