Informační systém pro pěvecké sbory

The bachelor thesis focuses on the design and implementation of an information system to cover the organizational needs of a choir. The need for an information system results from the complexity of choirs’ organization which includes communicating with a great number of singers, acquiring and sharing information, distributing sheet music and planning events.The goal of the thesis is to design and implement the basis of an information system which then will be piloted and tested in a closed environment of a single choir. The system will then be further developed and employed by more choirs.The theoretical part consists of the description of the problem and the existing systems that solve the problem. These systems are then rated using a presented rating system. The practical part deals with the design, implementation, pilot deployment and a plan for the future development of the system as a web application.The main benefit of the thesis is employing the information system which simplifies communication and organization in a participating choir both for its singers and the administrative workers.The proposed system does not have any competition at the Czech market. Preliminary survey shows a relatively strong interest in a choir management system. Thus it could soon be used not only by many Czech choirs (according to available data there are about 1 000 amateur choirs in the Czech Republic (Popelka, 2008)), but also by choirs in other (especially European) countries.
