System Development 1

Select a system for development which would benefit your workplace. Prepare a 2-3 page feasibility study of the system development. The goal of your feasibility paper is to convince the project sponsor that this project is worth funding. Whatever subject you choose for this feasibility study is also the same subject you will continue to do your future IA papers on, so choose a good one. A plan to study the feasibility of a systems request should explain the background info on the organization and the IT project that is proposed, and should cover four key areas: schedule, operational, technical, and economic feasibility (Shelly, Cashman & Rosenblatt, 2004).

*Format your paper according to APA standards.

*Please list at least 3 resources/references.

This project is 1 out of 4. Each project is a continuation of each other and will be utilize the same subject.

****Note: The idea is to choose a proposed IT project that you can use in this paper AND in all the future weekly IA papers. It is important to choose a subject that is substantial enough. An example of a subject not substantial enough is “install a fax machine.” Some good examples of substantial system development projects that students have used are “improve revenue by implementing an online ordering system”, “improve training class effectiveness by implementing an online student survey system and providing reports to management”, “improve patient access to information by providing kiosks in the hospital so patients can look up their information and schedule appointments”, “create a data warehouse capability to improve marketing efforts”, “improve inventory management by moving from a paper system to an automated one.” *****
