Week 5 - Business Case Project Part 4

Q To this point in the project, you identified some project solutions along with their costs, features, and functions. Now, the Board of Directors is asking for recommendations that are more specific about the solution’s features and functions. They want to know what you consider the “must-have” system features and functions and why they are the “must haves”. In addition, the Chairperson wants to know what additional features and functions, from other SaaS and non-SaaS solutions you researched for week 1’s assignment, would be “nice-to-have”, but are not absolutely required for the new system. As always, the Board wants to see any costs (capital or operational) associated with the "nice-to-have" features and functions. The paper must not exceed 5 pages of content (the title page, abstract [if required], reference pages, figures/tables, and appendices are not content pages). In addition, the paper must use: • Times New Roman, 12 pt font/typeset • Double spaced lines • The APA Manual, 7th edition's title page, header, margins, figure, table, and heading formatting • The APA Manual, 7th edition's writing mechanic guidelines Rubric IST 7020 Project Part 4 Rubric IST 7020 Project Part 4 Rubric Criteria Ratings Pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeApplicability 20 to >18.8 pts Excellent The content and information sources all relate to the assignment and course content with excellent integration of course material and sourced material. 18.8 to >17.6 pts Good The content and information sources mostly relate to the assignment and course content with good integration of course material and sourced material. 17.6 to >17.0 pts Satisfactory The content and information sources generally relate to the assignment and course content with adequate integration of course material and sourced material. 17 to >14.6 pts Needs Improvement The content and/or information sources marginally relate to the assignment and/or course content. 14.6 to >0 pts Unsatisfactory The content and/or information sources do not relate to the assignment and/or course content. 20 pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeContent 20 to >18.8 pts Excellent The assignment clearly and concisely identifies multiple “must-have” system features and functions with excellent detail;

The enterprise management system is Lakewood's most preferred software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution due to its ability to analyze and manage all the organization's resources and needs. The most preferred non-SaaS solution is the In-house software since it is developed based on the organization's needs and is easier to improve. A good enterprise management framework or system will work to support complex IT infrastructure even without needing the help of many IT professionals.
