Software And Hardware For The New System

Design activities are closely interrelated and generally all done with substantial overlap. “During design, it is often necessary to verify the correctness or workability of the proposed design. One important verification method is to build working prototypes of parts of the system to ensure that it will function correctly in the operating environment.” Every system must have sufficient controls to protect the integrity of the database and the application program. These controls should be integrated into the new system while it is being designed, not after it has been constructed (Chapter 2, 2004).

5. Implementation – This phase involves installing the system in its planned operating arena, training the users, converting data, turning the system over to the sponsor, and evaluating its performance and processes. System bugs are identified and corrected and planning for sustaining the system takes place.

The problem presented by Joseph-Armand Bombardier is the upcoming third round of ERP implementation in his organization. Even though a big improvement over the efficiency and success of execution between the first ERP round (Mirabel plant) and second round (Saint-Laurent plant), there is still room for improvement.

The purpose of this project is to build a system that will help and address Tony Chip’s new requirements. All of the new requirements will be considered with the system architecture and it will use all of the applications that still perform after the upgrade and change. The

As the IT department begins to plan for and implement a new customer relationship management (CRM) solution in the corporate office, there are several variables that must first be thoroughly examined. The IT department must address the needs of the office, as well as the legacy hardware and software currently in use. It is apparent that current IT infrastructure will not support the introduction of a new CRM application. The legacy hardware currently in use is outdated require replacement. When implementing a hardware replacement project the IT department will use five major variables of project management that relate to the hardware replacement

What features should the new system have that the existing system does not currently possess?

In today 's competitive environment, organisations need to be reformed to get competitive advantages. The most efficient and effective way to achieve this goal is to introduce a new information system (IS). Chen et al (2012) One of the big systems is enterprise resources planning which is an application software which has a broad set of activities supported by many modules that integrates all business processes and data into a single system which helps businesses keep track and access to all their daily data. Jalal, a (2011)

In this chapter, we would just look into the introduction of the project its purpose and applications of the project. An overview of the system originally planned to be developed is also introduced here

The expected time frame to implement this project is 13 months as a best-case. This time period involves many stages such as developing the system, testing it, installing it, and launching it to be working in the real business environment and production phase. The construction of the new system in order to deliver it into the production phase requires us to follow many steps to go through some variety of phases which will be covered with brief details in this paper.

Real System: If implementing a simulation for a real system, collect input and output data where applicable to use during the validation and simulation process. For a virtual system, the quality of the data and understanding its origin is significant to the validation process according to Law and Kelton.

• Specification of what the new system is to accomplish based on the user requirements.

There are number of tasks to be considered prior to developing such as interviews, identification, operating concepts. The main target of this phase is to summarize the complete requirement and what is the proposed system

Organizations try consistently to incorporate newer technology into their business to increase efficiency, reduce cost, support growth and generally improve how the company does business. A business can choose to upgrade existing software, build a custom application or purchase a new system that will meet needs based on defined requirements.

The systems development process can follow any number of methods, tools, and approaches and is not tied down to any specific one. Although there are some conventions, changes and additions can be arbitrarily adapted to suit the customized process.

User acceptance is a type of testing performed by the Client to certify the system with respect to the requirements that was agreed upon. This testing happens in the final phase of testing
