Statement of Work

Problems with the Company System  

Heaps of Books is experiencing the slow flow of activities in the store as the services to its customers are delayed by the current systems. This majorly because they are shared as well as they are as outdated. Other problems include storage and retrieval of client information, placing orders, tracking of texts, processing purchases, and lack of automation of common activities. If there are no measures to rectify these problems the company is likely to face stiff competition from those companies which have already adopted modern technology. Consequently, Heaps of Books will lose customers because of poor customer services.

Installation Plan  Upgrade Proposal代写

Software installation

After the decision on which software to use for Heaps of Books automation process, GeeIntel Technologies will also evaluate the existing systems including devices, staffs, and specialist to enable planning. The main objective is to reduce the paperwork associated with cataloging and retrieval of books, and order processing. Other software automation includes antivirus software and a firewall. The three software will work synchronously and involve report generation of flaws in the out.

Installation plan

i. Preparation of the site for system installation

ii. Training of the users

iii. Review the network design and configuration

iv. Check for system requirement per the requirement of the software

v. Review the hardware system layout

vi. System hardware installation

vii. Installation of software

viii. Safety precautions

ix. Testing of systems

Testing Plan  Upgrade Proposal代写

The test plan of the system upgrades will include the following

i. Network design verification for compliance: The network design that we will implement has to be compliance with the set ICT standards and can function optimally.

ii. Software and hardware tests: We will test how the new computers, router, modem, cables, and software are functioning.

The test coverage will consider the user’s ability, computer performance and speed, printers and photocopier quality assurance, internet speed and bandwidth, services automation processes, and services delivery time.

Security Plan  Upgrade Proposal代写

All computer systems are prone to threats of viruses, hacking, data security breach, damages, and theft. These are challenges we have learned through years of experience in the field of ICT. In this case, Heaps of Books company system can be compromised through hacking, damage or data breach thus putting the company at risk of losing important data. It is therefore important to plan ahead on dealing with these issues. As a control mechanism, the company will be required to have ICT administrator who will be monitoring and controlling the activities of the system. The administrator will be giving authority of access to critical data and make sure no unauthorized person or computer get access to them.

Another control mechanism is to make sure all the computers have an antivirus, and they are connected through a firewall. Antivirus prevents infection to a computer data with computer worms and malwares which pose a severe threat to the data security. On the other hand, the firewall keeps unauthorized access at bay. These will further prevent hacking activities and control employee from tampering with data integrity.

Furthermore, the business must ensure any external or internal physical damage or theft is mitigated. In a bid to reduce such risks, the company should install CCTV cameras at every entrance together with the use of biometric access to the premises. In so doing, the company will be able to control the entry of strangers as well as keep track of employees’ movement. And in case of any incidents with the systems, the recordings will be analyze for the cause.

Appendix 2  Upgrade Proposal代写

Interview with Owner: My staff keep hassling me to get into the digital age and automate my systems. They say that it can save me time and show me where I can improve my business.  They seem to think that this will show in productivity increases in orders and sales and that I might be able to open another store near another university. I do’t ko? Can you see anywhere I can improve productivity? Hey, I know, h do’t ou talk to my sales staff they are probably the best ones to talk to about how we need to improve our systems.

Sales Staff Interviews:

Sales Staff 1 I have been working here for quite a while now and I think that the owner, Geoff, is good to work for.  

Geoff is extremely good at sourcing obscure archived text, which is really good for assignments and assessments; it gets the lecturers thinking too. Geoff references a lot of paper based material to find archive text and even really old, early turn of the century research papers. He seems so wrapped up in paper and card catalogue sstes that he a’t see the eefits in automating his point of sale and ordering systems. He needs someone to explain the benefits, time and cost savings that come with going from a manual system to an automated system.

Upgrade Proposal代写

Now, one simple example of this is that only one pc is connected to the internet and when e use the iteret e a’t even receive phone calls.  Also, on an average day 2 – 3 hours can be spent ordering and researching books on the internet.  That means that no phone calls are received and customers complain that they can never get through to us on the phone. When customers complain they say that if they could get the same quality of service from someone else they would go there.

What they are really saying is that we provide the products that they are looking for and we can locate obscure items but they want a better response time.  Our ability to deliver what the customer needs seems to be the only thing that keeps our customers coming back to us.   Once we do the orders online, we print the invoice out and file it.  When the order comes in we manually check the ISBN numbers to the invoice; this is time consuming; I wish he would get a barcode scanner.

Sales Staff 2 Geoff’s lue ut he eeds to get out of the 80’s ad realise there is more to business than hat he’s doig.  Upgrade Proposal代写

Eerthig takes too log; like a spreadsheet to ru our aouts; he’s looking for trouble. I am doing accountancy at Uni and I have seen a lot of case studies here usiesses fail just eause the do’t hae the sstes to support the.  You know, ou’e ol got basic functions, ou a’t ross referee aterial or compare year to year and forget any GST reporting! Geoff needs to get some decent software to run the business better.  That’s goig to e the only way we are going to be able to expand.  There are plenty of Uni students that need our knowledge and access to texts that are not carried by other book shops.  This business could really grow with the right systems.

Sales Staff 3 Man you talk to him about the latest graphics card or the new release games and he looks at you like your talking a foreign language.  OK I get that, I have parents, the oldies are not too thrilled about technology.   It’s a pit though, I’e foud soe really great stuff for hacking, like; I mean; by some unknown author and other really cool stuff I can do with my PC. He needs to get into the digital age or perish like the diosaur he’s atig like.
