Assignment - ENTERPRISE DESKTOP APPLICATION CONCEPTUALIZATION

POWERPOINT PRESENTATION -

In this Assignment 1 you are the Manager of a department in a global multinational company.

In the light of the increasing number of your employees using different types of applications for managing all aspects of operations, you have come up with an idea for a Desktop Application for a particular problem that will help improve the workflow, communications and productivity of your staff, both in-house as well as with company employees across the globe.

Using Microsoft PowerPoint, develop a Professional presentation to the CIO to convince him/her to provide the appropriate resources to realize the development, implementation and integration of your concept application into the Enterprise's in-house Application store.

The concept of the application does not have to be particularly sophisticated or innovative for the purposes of this course. We are more interested in the processes and issues involved rather than the end product itself, and the application is therefore to be considered only as a means to an end. So an adaptation of an existing product or solution is acceptable.

Your pitch to the CIO will include:

1. Details about the Organization/industry/business/service

1.1. Industry Type (assigned to you)

1.2. Description of the Organization

1.3. Description of department of which you are the Manager 

2. The concept 

3. The business drivers

4. The benefits 

5. The target audience 

6. Impact on existing staff, processes and procedures 

7. A wireframe/prototype design of the user interfaces showing the application in its various steps and phases

NOTES

1. In the design process, the best way to show customers, managers, and programmers the product you have in mind and want to create is to make a mockup of the views that compose the Desktop Application user interface.

2. One of the first things you want to do to develop your Desktop Application idea is to create a mockup of the Application. A mockup, as the name implies, is a basic visual prototype of the look and feel of your Application. Mockups serve two purposes, one is to test the core concepts of your application and the second is to serve as a blueprint to use when working with developers to build your application. A good mockup will lay out what every screen in your application looks like down to the buttons, colours and fonts and will illustrate how someone moves through the application to complete basic tasks. 

a. The course examiner has negotiated a free licence for the Balsamiq wireframe software which you are free to download and use (https://balsamiq.com/download/#). Explore the many resources (videos, tutorials, blogs, etc.) at this site. You can find the License Information on your Study Desk under Additional Resources Section

b. Please note that you may use a mockup/wireframe/prototype tool of your choice.

3. The maximum number of slides is 20 (twenty).

4. Each slide must include speaker's notes (in the Notes section) that expand on the bullet points and graphics on the slide.

5. There must be evidence in your presentation that your Desktop Application is directly related to the organization/industry/business/service that you have been assigned. Failure to do so will result in zero marks being awarded for this assignment.
