Business Systems Analysis/Design, not Information Systems

For Milestone Three, you will be focusing on the website for Sharpe Style based on what you have learned this week. Your response must address three different aspects of the website: features, mobile computing, and security challenges. Remember that Sharpe Style has a website that directs customers to the retail location, advertises sales events, and provides coupons that customers can print. The main guiding question to consider is, what will the company's website need in order to accommodate online sales? You will be using the Milestone Three section of the template to complete this assignment. Refer to the Sharpe Style scenario for details on the current state of the company and the business owner's goals.

For each one of these aspects, assess what the company needs and research two options to propose to Mary the business owner.
Features: What features might the business owner want the new website to include? Think about what features an online shopper would need to see on a website. Also think about Mary's goal to implement intelligent marketing. Support your answer with examples of what other consumer companies are doing. Remember to cite your sources appropriately.

Mobile Computing: What challenges and needs might the owner face in terms of supporting mobile computing? As you assess these challenges, fill out the Requirements Document in Appendix A of the Final Project Template.

Security: Analyze the security challenges arising from adding e-commerce to the website, including both internal and external security concerns. Identify a minimum of two options for the business owner to consider. Compare and contrast these available IT security solutions to address the needs you identified. What are the advantages and disadvantages to each? Research examples of what has or has not worked for other companies to illustrate your point(s).
