Systems Analysis and Redesign Project: Phase 1
Assignment Instructions
Overview
The System Analysis and Redesign Project focuses on an original private cloud-based solution for a company you understand well. The purpose of this project is to ensure that you know how to analyze an organization and its’ associated systems. Therefore, the student is the architect. Successful projects will have a brand-new design of a missing feature that is not seen in existing information systems. The project should highlight your advanced skills in information systems, displaying your knowledge of all domains of our field.
A key objective of the project is to analyze and design a new system that can function in a cloud-based and/or a distributed computing architectural environment. This system should replace an existing system at a company or a Church or another organization that you understand well.
The re-designed system will be based upon at least one strong and well-respected information systems and/or informatics framework and several associated standards. The framework and associated standards (e.g. COBIT, NIST) will be used to benchmark the existing system to the new system and determine if improvements were made. A summary spreadsheet should be included in your final project phase that shows how the new system meets improved framework guidelines and sub-standards. Sub-standards that specifically identify how an information system needs to be implemented are mandatory in contrast to subjective designs.
All projects must use an original and new application/software design diagrams and concepts. You must identify a new need that has yet to be programmed/coded. Use of traditional classes/databases/sequence diagrams such as what you see in existing ERPs, CRMs, web forms, etc. will not be given credit. For example, tables or classes like accounts, persons, customers, employees, sales, orders, logins, movies/videos, inventory, hotel reservations, restaurant orders, store fronts, shopping carts, and many more will not count toward points in this class. It is your responsibility to check to make sure what you design is new and original. We want to see what you can design; not what others have already designed. Thus, please do not submit designs of existing information systems.
As you will find, the design must also result in a working system that can be implemented. Designs that do not show proficiency in parallel programming code (e.g. a working object-oriented class implemented in Java, C++, Python, and/or C#) are not very valuable at the more granular stage of design and thus this requirement.

Overview
The System Analysis and Redesign Project focuses on an
original private cloud-based solution for a company you
understand well. The purpose of this project is to ensure that
you know how to analyze an organization and its’ associated
systems. Therefore, the student is the architect. Successful
projects will have a brand-new design of a missing feature that
is not seen in existing information systems. The project should
highlight your advanced skills in information systems,
displaying your knowledge of all domains of our field.
A key objective of the project is to analyze and design a new
system that can function in a cloud-based and/or a distributed
computing architectural environment. This system should
replace an existing system at a company or a Church or another
organization that you understand well.
The re-designed system will be based upon at least one strong
and well-respected information systems and/or informatics
framework and several associated standards. The framework
and associated standards (e.g. COBIT, NIST) will be used to
benchmark the existing system to the new system and determine
if improvements were made. A summary spreadsheet should be
included in your final project phase that shows how the new
system meets improved framework guidelines and sub-
standards. Sub-standards that specifically identify how an
information system needs to be implemented are mandatory in
contrast to subjective designs.
All projects must use an original and new application/software
design diagrams and concepts. You must identify a new need
2. that has yet to be programmed/coded. Use of traditional
classes/databases/sequence diagrams such as what you see in
existing ERPs, CRMs, web forms, etc. will not be given credit.
For example, tables or classes like accounts, persons,
customers, employees, sales, orders, logins, movies/videos,
inventory, hotel reservations, restaurant orders, store fronts,
shopping carts, and many more will not count toward points in
this class. It is your responsibility to check to make sure what
you design is new and original. We want to see what you can
design; not what others have already designed. Thus, please do
not submit designs of existing information systems.
As you will find, the design must also result in a working
system that can be implemented. Designs that do not show
proficiency in parallel programming code (e.g. a working
object-oriented class implemented in Java, C++, Python, and/or
C#) are not very valuable at the more granular stage of design
and thus this requirement. Software engineers and/or
developers should be able to interpret your diagrams and
accurately create the designed system with the level of detail
provided.
All phases require screenshots for credit that have details in the
screenshot showing your personal computer was used and
include an operating system date/time. You must use optimized
jpegs. All jpegs should be 50KB or less and/or the total Word
document file size should be less than 1MB. Word documents
that are too large cannot be checked by our plagiarism detection
tool and thus we cannot grade your work without this
validation.
Your project will be separated into 3 phases:
Phase 1: Introduction, problem statement, feasibility study,
project plan, and the conclusion
Phase 2: Methodology to compare the old and new systems and
the systems analysis
3. Phase 3: Benchmark results of the old and new systems and the
systems design
Instructions
This report must contain the following elements:
I. Please see the grading rubric for all minimums.
II. Cover page
III. Table of Contents (TOC) that uses proper headings for
automatic updating.
IV. Every section must be well supported with scholarly
information systems journal articles.
V. Introduction and conclusion sections
a. You will write an introduction and conclusion to the project
that is at least 500 words and well supported by scholarly
journal articles. Each phase requires these.
b. The conclusion should be the last heading and conclude the
current phase and state the upcoming objectives and
deliverables in the next phase.
c. This should include a description of the client organization
(including the organizational unit or functions served by the
system), motivation for the system (that is, why the client
organization wants the system, what problems it is
encountering, what opportunities would such a system provide),
the users of the potential system, and the general functionality
the client wants in the system (the users and general
functionality form a statement of scope for the project and
system).
VI. Problem statement
a. You must select either a business you work with or an
organization you know well and have expertise on that allows
you to re-design a new information system feature using your
knowledge.
b. At least 500 words should exist that supports an original new
software feature to be designed and the associated information
system problem(s) that will be addressed.
c. Note the problem must meet later project specifications.
Please assure it operates within an information system
4. environment that allows all diagram requirements to be met.
i. It must be able to be designed into an innovative, highly
available, secure, and scalable private cloud-based information
system.
ii. It must have key information system components due to
design requirements such as an associated storage area network,
database, local area network, wide area network.
iii. Use of any existing third-party cloud solutions like Amazon,
Google, Microsoft, RedHat and many others will not be
accepted. The student is the cloud architect and should
therefore design an original on-premise private cloud for the
company identified in the project problem that operates in their
datacenter.
VII. Feasibility Study and Project Plan
a. Although phase 3 of the project stops at the desi gn stage of
the SDLC, assure the feasibility study and project plan covers
the planning, analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance
aspects of the SDLC.
b. The plan should focus on updating the old information system
to the new private on-premise cloud-based information system.
c. Successful project plans will exceed the textbook examples
for each component.
i. Comprehensive project charter and plan documents.
ii. Project scope, alternatives, and feasibility documents.
iii. Project schedule, tasks, resource estimations, labor, time,
owners, and comprehensive work break down structure (WBS).
1. Use of Microsoft Project or alternative open source tools is
necessary for professional level documents.
iv. Financial budget, cost, and benefit analysis docume nts and
spreadsheets including line item pricing estimations.
v. The final outcomes should address these from a managerial
and strategic business perspective.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the
Turnitin plagiarism tool.

1948 Democratic National Convention Address
delivered 14 July 1948, Philadelphia, PA
AUTHENTICITY CERTIFIED: Text version below transcribed
directly from audio
Mr. Chairman, fellow Democrats, fellow Americans:
I realize that in speaking in behalf of the minority report on
civil rights as presented by
Congressman DeMiller of Wisconsin that I'm dealing with a
charged issue -- with an issue
which has been confused by emotionalism on all sides of the
fence. I realize that there are
here today friends and colleagues of mine, many of them, who
feel just as deeply and keenly
as I do about this issue and who are yet in complete
disagreement with me.
My respect and admiration for these men and their views was
great when I came to this
7. convention. It is now far greater because of the sincerity, the
courtesy, and the forthrightness
with which many of them have argued in our prolonged
discussions in the platform
committee.
Because of this very great respect -- and because of my
profound belief that we have a
challenging task to do here -- because good conscience, decent
morality, demands it -- I feel I
must rise at this time to support a report -- the minority report -
- a report that spells out our
democracy, a report that the people of this country can and will
understand, and a report that
they will enthusiastically acclaim on the great issue of civil
rights.

Now let me say this at the outset that this proposal is made for
no single region. Our proposal
8. is made for no single class, for no single racial or religious
group in mind. All of the regions of
this country, all of the states have shared in our precious
heritage of American freedom. All
the states and all the regions have seen at least some of the
infringements of that freedom --
all people -- get this -- all people, white and black, all groups,
all racial groups have been the
victims at time[s] in this nation of -- let me say -- vicious
discrimination.
The masterly statement of our keynote speaker, the
distinguished United States Senator from
Kentucky, Alben Barkley, made that point with great force.
Speaking of the founder of our
Party, Thomas Jefferson, he said this, and I quote from Alben
Barkley:
He did not proclaim that all the white, or the black, or the red,
or the yellow men are equal;
that all Christian or Jewish men are equal; that all Protestant
and Catholic men are equal; that
all rich and poor men are equal; that all good and bad men are
equal. What he declared was
that all men are equal; and the equality which he proclaimed
was the equality in the right to
9. enjoy the blessings of free government in which they may
participate and to which they have
given their support.
Now these words of Senator Barkley’s are appropriate to this
convention -- appropriate to this
convention of the oldest, the most truly progressive political
party in America. From the time
of Thomas Jefferson, the time when that immortal American
doctrine of individual rights,
under just and fairly administered laws, the Democratic Party
has tried hard to secure
expanding freedoms for all citizens. Oh, yes, I know, other
political parties may have talked
more about civil rights, but the Democratic party has surely
done more about civil rights.
We have made progress -- we've made great progress in every
part of this country. We’ve
made great progress in the South; we’ve made it in the West, in
the North, and in the East.
But we must now focus the direction of that progress towards
the -- towards the realization of
a full program of civil rights to all. This convention must set
out more specifically the direction
in which our Party efforts are to go.
10. We can be proud that we can be guided by the courageous trail
blazing of two great
Democratic Presidents. We can be proud of the fact that our
great and beloved immortal
leader Franklin Roosevelt gave us guidance. And we be proud
of the fact -- we can be proud of
the fact that Harry Truman has had the courage to give to the
people of America the new
emancipation proclamation.

It seems to me -- It seems to me that the Democratic Party needs
to to make definite pledges
of the kinds suggested in the minority report, to maintain the
trust and the confidence placed
in it by the people of all races and all sections of this country.
Sure, we’re here as Democrats.
But my good friends, we’re here as Americans; we’re here as
the believers in the principle and
11. the ideology of democracy, and I firmly believe that as men
concerned with our country’s
future, we must specify in our platform the guarantees which we
have mentioned in the
minority report.
Yes, this is far more than a Party matter. Every citizen in this
country has a stake in the
emergence of the United States as a leader in the free world.
That world is being challenged
by the world of slavery. For us to play our part effectively, we
must be in a morally sound
position.
We can’t use a double standard -- There’s no room for double
standards in American politics --
for measuring our own and other people’s policies. Our
demands for democratic practices in
other lands will be no more effective than the guarantee of those
practices in our own country.
Friends, delegates, I do not believe that there can be any
compromise on the guarantees of
the civil rights which we have mentioned in the minority report.
In spite of my desire for
unanimous agreement on the entire platform, in spite of my
12. desire to see everybody here in
honest and unanimous agreement, there are some matters which
I think must be stated
clearly and without qualification. There can be no hedging --
the newspaper headlines are
wrong. There will be no hedging, and there will be no watering
down -- if you please -- of the
instruments and the principles of the civil-rights program.
My friends, to those who say that we are rushing this issue of
civil rights, I say to them we are
172 years late. To those who say that this civil-rights program
is an infringement on states’
rights, I say this: The time has arrived in America for the
Democratic Party to get out of the
shadow of states' rights and to walk forthrightly into the bright
sunshine of human rights.
People -- human beings -- this is the issue of the 20th century.
People of all kinds -- all sorts
of people -- and these people are looking to America for
leadership, and they’re looking to
America for precept and example.
My good friends, my fellow Democrats, I ask you for a calm
consideration of our historic
13. opportunity. Let us do forget the evil passions and the blindness
of the past. In these times of
world economic, political, and spiritual -- above all spiritual
crisis, we cannot and we must not
turn from the path so plainly before us. That path has already
lead us through many valleys of

the shadow of death. And now is the time to recall those who
were left on that path of
American freedom.
For all of us here, for the millions who have sent us, for the
whole two billion members of the
human family, our land is now, more than ever before, the last
best hope on earth. And I
know that we can, and I know that we shall began [sic] here the
fuller and richer realization of
that hope, that promise of a land where all men are truly free
and equal, and each man uses
14. his freedom and equality wisely well.
My good friends, I ask my Party, I ask the Democratic Party, to
march down the high road of
progressive democracy. I ask this convention to say in
unmistakable terms that we proudly
hail, and we courageously support, our President and leader
Harry Truman in his great fight
for civil rights in America!
