MGT 321 System Build Project
For this assignment, you are tasked with designing a comprehensive system for an organization
of your choice, either real or fictitious. Your design should address a specific problem or need
within the organization, explain how technology can provide a solution, and integrate the system
effectively into the current organizational infrastructure. Consider aspects such as hardware,
software, feasibility, system integration, security, and costs. Additionally, you must evaluate how
the data generated by the system will inform decision-making processes and support the
organization's strategic goals.
Your paper should address the following areas in detail:
1. Determine the System (Needs Analysis):
o What problem does the system aim to solve?
o What specific issue within the organization needs to be addressed?
o How can technology solve this issue?
o What input have you gathered from creators and users to ensure the system will
be effective?
o How does solving this problem align with the organization's mission and strategic
goals?
2. Integration of the System into the Current Organizational System:
o What are the current major systems in place within the organization?
o How will the new system be compatible with existing systems?
o Explore decision-making support models that could be integrated into the system.
o What are the advantages and limitations of using data in Decision Support
Systems (DSS)?
o Discuss different implementation processes and define the one you’ve chosen.
o Address potential security issues related to the new system.
3. Feasibility Analysis:
o Consider the hardware requirements (types, capacity, speed, processing power)
needed for the system.
o Discuss software determinants (types, applications, compatibility, and
integration).
o How will you handle maintenance, upgrades, and obsolescence issues, including
future technological advancements?
o Provide a cost analysis, including total upfront costs and the total cost of
ownership.
o How will the organizational culture and technology changes affect the
implementation?
4. Measurement:
o Identify the critical success factors for the system. How will you monitor these
factors, and who will be responsible for inputting data?
o How will you measure the system's efficiency and its impact on the organization's
operations?
