Type of problem
Type of problem
Two main problems are to be solved by the development of the
surveillance system; first, the company seeks to intensify
internal security especially considering the high rate of crime
and terrorism activity, and secondly, the system shall be used as
a tool in internal controls and inspection program (Katalien, &
Pieter, 2013). These two areas have been a challenge in the
company especially the latter which has been affecting the
production in the company. Installation of surveillance systems
has been advocated for by the federal government in all
corporations to ensure that a comprehensive approach to
homeland security and international security.
The major areas of concern which will be addressed once the

3. surveillance system is implemented are the intensification of the
internal security, bearing in mind that the crime rates are in the
increase as well as terrorism activities and the second the
system will find its application in internal controls and
inspection programs (Katalien, & Peter, 2013). The two areas
for a long time have been a problem facing the company
particularly the later which has seen the company’s production
dwindling. As thus, the installation of a surveillance systems is
highly recommended by the federal government in all the
corporate intuitions to make sure an extensive approach to not
only homeland security, but also international security

5. Proposed business problem solutions
At the end of the project, the following business solutions shall
be attained
After the completion of the system development and its actual
implementation, the company will have gotten mitigation to the
various business problems earlier explored. The solutions are as
outlined below.
• Development of a program that helps in identification of
potential damage to the premises, properties and the persons
within the company by tracking the movements of all the
persons within the company’s premises (John, 2013)
• Potential damages to the premises, property and the employees
within the company will be minimized as the developed
program will be tracking the movements of all the people within
and around the company’s premises (John, 2013)
• Development of a program that shows the activities of the
employees within the organization with an aim of measuring the
individual production of the employees. This will help in
ensuring optimum individual production for the employees
• Establishment of a program that will be keeping track of all
the activities of the employees within the organization with the
key concern being establishing the production of employees.
This will lead to each employee trying to optimize his
productivity rate thus a rise in the production capacity.
• Creating a network that connects the company’s security
control with the homeland securitysecurity. This will help the
company to access faster assistance from the department of
homeland security should there be a security alert.
• Beefing up of security. The network creation will connect the
company’s security with the homeland security. This will
facilitate the access of security assistance from homeland
security by the company in the event of a security alarm. .
• Reduction of the cost of inspection. The system developed at
the end of this project will help in reducing the number of
professional inspectors that are required in the production
department of the company (Katalien, & Pieter, 2013).

6. • Cost reduction in key areas such as the inspection fee since
the number of inspection professionals required in the
production department of the company will significantly be
reduced in number once the system developed comes into
operation. (Katalien, & Pieter, 2013).
• The system that shall be developed at the end of the project
shall help the company to reduce the losses that are related to
poor surveillance like theft of property by company personnel,
and, looses from acts of crime and terrorism.
• Reduction of losses related to poor surveillance that leads to
theft of property by company personnel, crime and terrorism
activities once the system is developed in the long-run. The
profits on the other hand will be maximized.
• The company shall have reduced eventual liability in case
such a foreseen crime occurs due to negligence.
• The business premise will reduce eventual liability in the
event of unforeseen crimes that result from negligence.

The goals of the projects are
• To ensure that the capital that is allocated to the project is

7. utilized optimally
• To ascertain that within a span of 21 months, the company has
been able to establish a robust surveillance system.
• To ensure that all the surveillance related risks that the
company faces have been dealt with comprehensively
(Francesco, Robbert, & Francesco, 2013).
• To spearhead optimal utilization of capital allotted to the
project development process.
Five (5) major deliverables of the project
• To ensure a comprehensive coverage and dealing of all the
surveillance related risks that the company faces (Francesco,
Robbert, & Francesco, 2013).
(A)Development of a surveillance system within the given time
limit :
Five (5) major deliverables of the project
The surveillance system should be installed within the required
time limit. This will assist the company to cut down on costs
caused as a result of delays like payment made to those
involved in its installation. The company’s staff will also have
enough time to learn how to use the system hence reducing the
costs incurred on training on how to use the system (Williams,
2005).
(A) Development of a surveillance system within the given time
limit :
(B) Development of a database that coordinates the business
activities and the security within the organization
The surveillance system ought to be put in place within the
required time limit. This will enable the company reduce on
costs that result from delays suck as payment made to the
technicians involved in the installation process. In spite of that,
the company’s staff will have substantial time to learn how to
use the system hence cutting down on the costs incurred on
training on how to use the system (Williams, 2005).
Business activities and the security of the organization should

8. be coordinated to reduce chances of losses that may be caused
as a result of theft by company’s employees or its potential
customers. The coordination of these two activities will also
reduce the threat of terrorist activities to the organization. This
will ensure that the security of all individuals dealing with the
company is guaranteed and thus enhancing the chances of the
company’s growth (Katalien, & Pieter, 2013).
(B) Development of a database that coordinates the business
activities and the security within the organization
Business activities and the security of the organization should
be well connected to minimize chances of losses that may be
caused due of theft by company’s employees as well as its
potential customers. In addition, the coordination of the two
activities will bring down the threat of terrorist activities to the
organization- this will make sure that the security of all
individuals dealing with the company is assured and thus
improving the chances of the company’s expansion (Katalien, &
Pieter, 2013).
(C) Training of staff on the usability of the newly developed
system
(C) Training of staff on the usability of the newly developed
system
Training of staff on how to use the newly developed system
prepares them to accept change instead of resisting it. Training
will also improve service delivery to customers because
transactions will be executed on a timely basis and according to
customers needs and specifications. This will end up giving the
company a competitive advantage over its competitors as a
result of efficient delivery of services.
Training of staff on the utilization of the newly developed
system prepares them to induce change at the same time
reducing chances of resistance. Also, the training will boost
service delivery to customers as transactions will be executed
on a timely basis and I accordance to customers’ needs and
specifications. This will end up giving the company a

9. competitive advantage over its worthy competitors- thanks to
the improved delivery of services.
(D) Ensuring that the company’s security control system is
connected to the homeland security
(D) Ensuring that the company’s security control system is
connected to the homeland security
While the company has the mandate ensuring that it has
maximized its internal security control system, the homeland
security agencies are more professional in the area and thus
their impact in the enhancement of security is paramount
(Francesco, Robbert, & Francesco, 2013). This projects target to
control a system that connects the company’s security control
system to the homeland securitysecurity so that data sharing on
security matters can be faster, intelligent and uncompromised.
Whereas the company has the sole responsibility of maintaining
and maximizing its internal security control system, the
homeland security agencies are more professional in the area
and thus their overall effect in the enhancement of security is
very important (Francesco, Robbert, & Francesco, 2013). This
projects aims to control a system that connects the company’s
security control system to the homeland security so that data
sharing on security matters can be swift, intellectual as well as
uncompromised.
(E) To come up with a project whose benefits outweighs the
cost of project development and implementation
(E) To come up with a project whose benefits outweighs the
cost of project development and implementation
While development of a surveillance system is a vital step in the
company’s strategic growth, the opportunity cost of the system
is a prime consideration in measurement of the utility of the
project. The benefits include; the reduced risk of theft and other
security issues, the increment in production in the company, the
reduction of the cost of supervision within the company and
increased investment by third parties due to the increased

10. confidence in the management among other direct and indirect
benefits (Francesco, Robbert, & Francesco, 2013).
Whereas development of a surveillance system is an important
step in the company’s premeditated growth, the opportunity cost
of the system is a major consideration in the overall
determination of utility of the project. The doles are as follows;
the reduced chances of theft and other security concerns, the
increment in the overall productive capacity of the company, a
reduction of the supervision cost within the company and
increased investment by third parties as a result of the increased
confidence in the management besides other direct not
forgetting indirect benefits (Francesco, Robbert, & Francesco,
2013).

• If the system developed will reduce the cost of production
supervision and at the same time increase the rate of staff
performance in the organization (Williams, 2005)
• The security of the system from external and malicious
interference and lack of system redundancy.
• Security concerns such as safeguarding the system from
external and malicious interference and lack of system
redundancy.
Recommendations
Recommendations
The company shall require ensuring that the system that has
been developed has been updated from time to time. I
recommend that a system appraisal shall be carried out every
two years to ensure that the developments in the field of
Information technology and Camera Surveillance have been
adopted and updated. Staff training to effect these changes shall
also be required in the same time duration (Katalien, & Pieter,
2013).
During the implementation phase cycle of the system
development, the company is required to ascertain that the
system that has been developed is update regularly. I
recommend that a system appraisal shall be conducted
fortnightly to ensure that the developments in the field of
Information technology and Camera Surveillance have been
adopted and up to date. To crown it all, staff training for the
implementation these changes is too a necessary requirement

12. during the same time span. (Katalien, & Pieter, 2013).

raising the level of internal security in the company. As the ICT
department’s system analyst, I have to develop a work plan that
will oversee the project from the first to the last stage. This
paper outlines the vital steps in the project, the proposed budget
for the project, the deliverables and the measurements for the
success of the project (Williams, 2005). The aim of the paper is
to justify the viability of the project in meeting the specific
needs of the company.
Recommend a project portfolio management method for your
selected project.
For purpose of this project, the applied project
management method shall be pipeline management. Pipeline
management method includes identification of a capital

24. investment project and coming up with measurable deliverables
which are to be met by the project. The application of
company’s resources is both time based and objective based. In
this project, the time frame is within the 12 months of
developing the surveillance system, 2 months of pilot phase, 4
months of change over and 3 months of performance
measurement (John, 2013).
Type of problem
Two main problems are to be solved by the development of
the surveillance system; first, the company seeks to intensify
internal security especially considering the high rate of crime
and terrorism activity, and secondly, the system shall be used as
a tool in internal controls and inspection program (Katalien, &
Pieter, 2013). These two areas have been a challenge in the
company especially the latter which has been affecting the
production in the company. Installation of surveillance systems
has been advocated for by the federal government in all
corporations to ensure that a comprehensive approach to
homeland security and international security.
Requirements
Below are the requirements for the project
· A camera surveillance plan which shows the locations where
the cameras shall be located throughout the company’s premises
· Local area network which shall help the company to
internetwork all the cameras and other gadgets within the
organization.
· Enough cameras to be fitted in all the locations noted above
(John, 2013)
· A database management system which saves the data that is
captured by the cameras.
· A remote server from where the cameras can be viewed
· Wide area network to connect the surveillance cameras with
the homeland security department or security firm (Daniels,
2014).
· A customized program which is used to capture data from the
surveillance cameras, view selected data, store data in the

25. database, among other artificial intelligence functions
· Data connection cables used for the interconnection of the
cameras with the remote computer (Williams, 2005).
· Back-up storage preferably a internet based virtual memory
· System developer
· System Management staff
· Installation space within the company’s premises
· Piping system for the connections
Proposed business problem solutions
At the end of the project, the following business solutions shall
be attained
· Development of a program that helps in identification of
potential damage to the premises, properties and the persons
within the company by tracking the movements of all the
persons within the company’s premises (John, 2013)
· Development of a program that shows the activities of the
employees within the organization with an aim of measuring the
individual production of the employees. This will help in
ensuring optimum individual production for the employees
· Creating a network that connects the company’s security
control with the homeland security. This will help the company
to access faster assistance from the department of homeland
security should there be a security alert.
· Reduction of the cost of inspection. The system developed at
the end of this project will help in reducing the number of
professional inspectors that are required in the production
department of the company (Katalien, & Pieter, 2013).
· The system that shall be developed at the end of the project
shall help the company to reduce the losses that are related to
poor surveillance like theft of property by company personnel,
and, looses from acts of crime and terrorism.
· The company shall have reduced eventual liability in case
such a foreseen crime occurs due to negligence.
State the vision and the goal of the project.
Vision of the project
The vision of the project is to ensure that ABC Company

26. has a robust security and surveillance system that helps in
attaining the company’s profit maximization goals and in
ensuring that the company attains international risk management
status.
The goals of the projects are
· To ensure that within 21 months, the company has been able to
come up with a robust surveillance system
· To ensure that the capital that is allocated to the project is
utilized optimally
· To ensure that all the surveillance related risks that the
company faces have been dealt with comprehensively
(Francesco, Robbert, & Francesco, 2013).
Five (5) major deliverables of the project
(A) Development of a surveillance system within the given time
limit :
The surveillance system should be installed within the required
time limit. This will assist the company to cut down on costs
caused as a result of delays like payment made to those
involved in its installation. The company’s staff will also have
enough time to learn how to use the system hence reducing the
costs incurred on training on how to use the system (Williams,
2005).
(B) Development of a database that coordinates the business
activities and the security within the organization
Business activities and the security of the organization should
be coordinated to reduce chances of losses that may be caused
as a result of theft by company’s employees or its potential
customers. The coordination of these two activities will also
reduce the threat of terrorist activities to the organization. This
will ensure that the security of all individuals dealing with the
company is guaranteed and thus enhancing the chances of the
company’s growth (Katalien, & Pieter, 2013).
(C) Training of staff on the usability of the newly developed
system
Training of staff on how to use the newly developed system
prepares them to accept change instead of resisting it. Training

27. will also improve service delivery to customers because
transactions will be executed on a timely basis and according to
customers needs and specifications. This will end up giving the
company a competitive advantage over its competitors as a
result of efficient delivery of services.
(D) Ensuring that the company’s security control system is
connected to the homeland security
While the company has the mandate ensuring that it has
maximized its internal security control system, the homeland
security agencies are more professional in the area and thus
their impact in the enhancement of security is paramount
(Francesco, Robbert, & Francesco, 2013). This projects target to
control a system that connects the company’s security control
system to the homeland security so that data sharing on security
matters can be faster, intelligent and uncompromised.
(E) To come up with a project whose benefits outweighs the
cost of project development and implementation
While development of a surveillance system is a vital step
in the company’s strategic growth, the opportunity cost of the
system is a prime consideration in measurement of the utility of
the project. The benefits include; the reduced risk of theft and
other security issues, the increment in production in the
company, the reduction of the cost of supervision within the
company and increased investment by third parties due to the
increased confidence in the management among other direct and
indirect benefits (Francesco, Robbert, & Francesco, 2013).

The success criteria for the project shall be based on the ability
to achieve the projected deliverables of the project. Some of
these shall include;

28. · The completion of the project within the time limit of 21
months (John, 2013)
· Ability of the system to send real-time signals to various
destinations including; the remote computer, the database and
the homeland security systems.
· Ability of the system developed to reduce the cost of
production supervision and increasing the rate of staff
performance in the organization (Williams, 2005)
· The security of the system from external and malicious
interference and lack of system redundancy.
Recommendations
The company shall require ensuring that the system that
has been developed has been updated from time to time. I
recommend that a system appraisal shall be carried out every
two years to ensure that the developments in the field of
Information technology and Camera Surveillance have been
adopted and updated. Staff training to effect these changes shall
also be required in the same time duration (Katalien, & Pieter,
2013).
