o Use an idea that keeps this project from feeling tedious and boring, thus losing details in the process of creating it.
Discussion specifics will be listed in the discussions themselves.
Paper specifics:
· Describe IN DETAIL each required component. In order to receive max credit, ALL QUESTIONS should be answered.
· Document should be at least 2 pages long.
· Cite ALL SOURCES with in-text citations and an MLA work's cited page.
What you will need to cover:
Why do you need an IS?
Create a business process modeling notation diagram (BPMN) to explain your company's business activities. Insert the image IN YOUR DOCUMENT.
What operating systems will this system work with?
Who will use this IS (department, positions, etc.)?
How much will it cost? (Hint: Research IS prices or consider how much each of the five components will cost to purchase, acquire, and train plus the cost of the developer's fees).
Will this IS create information silos? If yes, how will your company overcome these issues?
How long will it take to train people to use this IS?
How easy is it to use?
What are your company's requirements for it? (Hint: Answers will vary for this question greatly; some companies require the IS to be within a specific price range while sacrificing features, while others have specific design details that must be included.)
What type of DBMS will it need? Something simple, like Microsoft Access, or something expensive, like Oracle?
How will this system be connected to your workplace's network? By wired means? Wirelessly? Or both?
How will you keep the network secure?
Is the system a PIS, WIS, EIS, or IIS?
Could your system include a social media application? If yes, what features would it include? If no, why not?
How will you keep this system secure? (Hint: This is not the same as network security.)
What method of installation will be used to implement this new system (Pilot, Plunge, Phased, or Parallel)?
What are some of the greatest risks faced with the creation and implementation of this system?
What kind of software will you need? Horizontal, vertical, or one-of-a-kind applications?
Could you use open-source software? For what?
How long do you feel you will be able to use this system?
