Some ideas to identify a business problem: • • • • • • Lack of competitiveness and/or profitability Inefficient processes Slow product development Obsolete IT organization and technologies Poor corporate communications Ongoing personnel issues Some benefits it will provide the organization could be things like: • • • • • • • • Financial – profitability, revenue, product costs Improved competitiveness Better marketing positioning Efficiency in key processes, e.g., sales, manufacturing, development Improved product and/or service quality Improved product development Better and more accurate support turn-around Preparation for the future – how is the organization positioning itself for future growth Some ideas on how the project could tie together: • • • As an example, you could write your paper on some aspect of ecommerce. You might tie it in to targeted advertising. You could then tie the back-end databases that are necessary to support ecommerce. For example, how databases contain information that allows vendors to target their audience and what those databases are. Another example might be the functionality of enterprise systems. You might choose a specific enterprise system like ERP, CRM or SCM and detail how the functionality is delivered. This could be how a business person would access this type of information. The business problem is high cost of IT and product development and the benefits are profitability, faster development time, or increased sales. The solution might be cloud computing describing the cloud computing approach taken, e.g., SaaS or cloud virtualization. Possible audiences might be: • • • • Senior management Customers Suppliers Specific departments Summary of Course Project Requirements 1. 2. 3. 4.
