There are two parts to this signature assignment, a written system implementation plan and an oral/video presentation. Examine the organization where you currently work, somewhere you have worked in the past, or a place where you would like to be employed in the future. Identify a need for an IT system to replace a paper/manual process or to upgrade an existing system. In your paper: Describe the need your new system will address and how it will improve quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction, and/or how it will reduce expenses. Describe the selection process required to acquire the appropriate system, including the person or team that will make the final selection. Within this section: Describe at least three potential vendors and how they can be differentiated. Once you identify the final vendor, complete a simple qualitative return on investment (ROI) analysis (what qualitative aspects are desirable). List strategies that will ensure a successful implementation and describe potential barriers to success. Create a high-level implementation plan (high-level steps to implement the system).
