Assessment Task 2

Task - Manage the process of compiling client business specifications to produce business solutions for consideration

You are to evaluate the hardware, software and networking needs for a professional industry association organisation that is installing a new information system. The association provides membership services to its members, including regular electronic publications, conducting a range of industry events, provision of professional development programs and a range of member social functions aimed at industry networking. Previously records have been kept on individual machines using versions of MS Windows and MS Office that are five years old. Corporate data is also stored on individual machines in different departments on similarly old versions of MS Access.
This requires you to:

• adapt technologies to specified technical solutions
• use site design software and hardware
• evaluate client specifications against accepted industry practices
• produce technical solutions from business specifications
• produce information that can be shared between businesses
• apply design concepts to business solutions
• produce technical reports
• make recommendations, and offer optimum design solutions.

For the purposes of this assessment task - Hardware may include:

• cabling networks
• internet protocol TV (IPTV)
• multimedia
• network elements:

• gateways
• local area network (LAN) switches
• routers
• servers
• wireless networks

• optical networks
• radio networks
• equipment:

• RFID
• switching
• transmission
• voice and data.

Software may include:

• commercial
• customised software

• in-house
• packaged.

Network may include:

• broadband
• data
• ICT networks
• internet
• intranet
• media
• radio
• RFID
• security
• switching
• telecommunications
• transmission.

Your project business has 47 employees, 25 of whom work predominantly in the office. Of those office-bound employees:
• 5 are power users doing high end graphical design and another
• 2 are educational designers creating instructional videos for corporate use.
• 12 employees require reasonable computer performance for software creation and testing and the remaining
• 6 require enough power for document processing and browsing for data access

A further 22 employees are predominantly away from the office or otherwise engaged moving around the business' premises. Of those employees:
• 10 are sales staff that need computing power to demonstrate software and videos to clients
• 12 keep only small notes on tasks as they work and respond to emails, appointment changes and production orders as they are generated.

The project business is housed in one building on three neighbouring floors on one site and a sales office in the neighbouring state. All sites have mutual access to corporate intranet services via the public internet.
Graphical designers are all in one computer laboratory and share access to large files with each other and the educational designers over the network.
Administrative and managerial staff shares one sub-network. The remote sales office with 4 sales staff, a receptionist and office administrator use one internal network.
An e-commerce site is used to sell and distribute a range of resources and publications to customers all over the world and needs to be accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The e-commerce and intranet web service are housed at the largest site with a database service housed separately for both e-commerce and internal corporate use.

Create Business Requirements Documentation and Model Requirements with UML
1. Draw a picture of the network as sequence of stars around a central hub, switch or router
2. Formulate a basic hardware requirement analysis for this project basing your plan on the premise that every employee needs access to the company's information architecture.
3. What are the requirements for availability, redundancy, scalability and interoperability?

Create a Business Requirements Document for the business solution proposed. The attached template may be used as a basis.
In order to communicate requirements from the BRD to the technical team you need to produce the following UML diagrams:
• Use Cases
• Class Diagram
• Sequence diagrams
• Activity Diagram
• Entity Relationship Diagram

You may use the BRD you created from Business Analysis #1 or the BRD provided by the Facilitator.
