NCE Informational System Proposal Summary
Introduction
The following proposal summary has been prepared by the Information Technology (IT) team describing a new information system required by our Advanced Services Network Consulting Engineers (NCEs). The information provided has been summarized and is intended to provide an overview of the proposed project.
Executive Summary
Within our organization we have a group of Network Consulting Engineers (NCEs) that provide Planning, Design, Implementation, and Operational (PDIO) services to contracted enterprise and service provider clients. On a number of recent occasions, it has come to light that one NCE is struggling with a design or planning issue that has already been addressed by another NCE. And in some cases, the solutions provided to our clients were not consistent between the NCEs. It has been determined a new system is needed that will provide an orderly and organized data repository that would be available to all NCEs. This system needs to provide an easy method for the NCEs to access and leverage previously defined design solutions.
This system will provide several key benefits to the NCE team:
? NCE will be able to search for data related to the solution being considered
? NCE will save time in that we will not ?reinvent the wheel?
? NCE provided solutions will be more standardized
? Using the same solution repeatedly simplifies supporting our solutions
? Allows our NCEs to be able to provide backup to one another
? With standard solutions we increase the probability that we will continually improve the solution.
User Requirements
The IT team spent time interviewing and observing the NCE team using the current information systems. The team discovered that the current systems lacked the flexibility and access to meet the needs of the NCEs. In addition the processes to back up an effective workflow are absent. Through this analysis the following key user requirements were identified. These requirements were considered in the selection of the proposed information system.
The proposed information system provides for the following:
? A flexible ?form? for data entry
? A sophisticated search methodology
? Accessible via a web browser
? Simple administrative capabilities
? Capability to ?revise? data base entries
? Backup and ...

...takes to set up information in the system. The level of understanding would improve through partaking or getting involved and henceforth could be adapted easily. All the bits and pieces of the project would rapidly increase or grow as per the workflow process. At the end, the overall CPOE system should be able to compare the manual method with the new electronic system and tell which is best and accurate to use and also tell how much time and money will be saved when using either system. At the end of the project the team should be able to come together and discuss whether or not the project met all of the company’s needs such as if it is reliable, efficient, safe and secure and also does it save time and money. Then, if the system has more advantages than disadvantages and it is worth all of the team’s time and effort it would be best to continue with the project.
The importance of a state of the art Management Information System cannot be overlooked. The system will not only allow management to better understand their department's contributions but also allow them to take the appropriate actions necessary to meet customer needs. The proposed system will ensure that Riordan Manufacturing, Inc. not only meets but consistently exceed its strategic and tactical goals within the global business community.
The project has to assemble a set of requirements drafted out before hand, which will be used to decide if the overall result meets the satisfactory conclusion. The requirements are split into two categories, the so-called functional that will state what the system will do and the non-functional that will enunciate how the system will do it.
This section provides an overview and a brief description of the system design. The system structure, the database design, and the user interface
To further understand the information technology solutions that needs to be implemented into your business. This document is an in-depth look at the different aspects and benefits they will provide.
The objectives of this plan were produced in alliance with Electronic Data Systems (www.eds.com) and Cisco Systems (www.cisco.com) The initial work began in Auburn Hills, MI in 2000.
The development team has begin to have meetings with both Bob and Thelma Mellankamp. They have expressed that they need to go ahead with an upgrade of their information system. To conduct the planning necessary several step must be taken. These are to include the identification of the issue; the scope of the project as a whole; the feasibility of the project; and the development of a project scope statement in order to identify expectations, deliverables, and benefits of conducting this project.
The system would be set up at our corporate headquarters, and would need an IT department dedicated to system maintenance. We would need to help our suppliers with connectivity, and connect all factories using this system. There would also have to be regional training in that one person from each department would need to go through to train others.
Customized approach to provision the “Your Choice Furniture” of net technical requirements, most of the problems they face by the information system to help them solve.
It is generally accepted that information is a vital commodity for the successful operation of today’s organizations. Nowadays modern business organizations are using computerized information systems in order to obtain such information. However as the technology advances rapidly the main issue is how can an organization should effectively use such an information system - which its management sometimes can be unpredictable - in order to effectively help the whole organization structure to improve and take the most out of it.

In order to implement the RCA described above, there is one additional resource needed. The most important artifact is creating a document that will outline the technical support standard that company XYZ wants to upkeep. This document must be detailed and should include answers to common problems. This document will allow the supervisor and the technical support team to respond to emails confidently.
A new energy is rising within CNS. Over the past year, many members of our administrative computing team have been developing Oracle applications. It is a new challenge to both CNS and our clients. We journey up the learning curve together and over the trial-and-error hurdles. Each day offers a new opportunity to understand another concept or process.
This project gives an insight of the company’s Information technology and information systems, their impact on the market and on the company. It also explains the problem faced by the company before implementation of any of the solutions. And then explains the IT solution adopted by the company. It is followed by the results and consequences of the implementation of the program.
