Appliance Warehouse Service Plan.
The discussion focuses on the appliance Warehouse Service Plan that is made up of the testing plan, an implementation plan and the training plan for the sake of the bettering of services in a warehouse. The testing plan is meant to manage the systems through QA standards meeting the needs of the customers. The implementation plan elaborates and indicates whether one should use parallel, direct, phased, or pilot changeover strategies. The training plan, on the other hand, indicates what a training plan would include for affected employees, such as appointment setters, technicians, management, and the parts department.
Testing Plan
The main reason for the testing plan is to validate and verify the information from the main source or the end to end target warehouse. The two major testing plans for include program testing and acceptance testing (Lewis, 2017). The plan should verify the following, the business required documents, ETL design for the documents, sources to target on the mapping process and the data model for the source and the target schemas. The documents that are considered are meant for the ETL development process in the testing plan. The testing plan is meant further for the supervisors or the quality analysis team to confirm that the work is concerning the objective of the organization. The process of testing might also include the configuration management system and the data quality validation and verification process.
Implementation Plan
The plan for the implementation of the systems is the same as the process that is considered during the development process of the entire system to meet the goals of the organization. The steps to consider for the whole plan of the implementation include the analysis and the enhancement requests, the writing of very simplified and new programs, restructuring of the database, analysis of the program library and its cost, and the reengineering of the test program. The first phase parallels the analysis phase as the parallel strategy is considered for the entire process, which entails the analysis phase of the SDLC. The steps two to four process entails the combining and the construction activities that are done on a new system majorly on a small scale. The last step is meant to parallel the testing that is commonly done during the implementation process. The testing process ensures that the process is free of risk as a quality assurance process (Liang & Hui, 2016).
Training Plan
The training plan should be made up of a training matrix in which it will guide them to know who needs the training what they need from the training and why they want the training not forgetting when they need the training(Kwak,2016). The matrix will allow for the planning and the preparation for the training avoiding scrambling when the due date for the training comes around.

Choices in Systems Acquisition and Risks, Security
Systems Acquisition
Options to consider when acquiring a new system are, development in-house, outsourcing, licensing, software as a service (SaaS), and having users develop the system. There are trade-offs to consider for each option. In-house development has several advantages to consider such as a good fit to organizational need and culture, dedicated maintenance, since the developers are accessible within the company, seamless interface, when the system is custom-made for an organization special requirements can be implemented to ensure that it has proper interfaces with other systems, and specialized security, special security measures can be integrated into an application. Additionally, there is a potential for strategic advantage. Some of the disadvantages of in-house development are, high cost, a long wait for development personnel, who might be busy with other projects and the application may be excessively organization specific to integrate with other systems.
Outsourcing
Advantages of outsourcing are improved financial planning sense outsourcing enables a client to know the exact costs of IT functions over the period of a contract. Another advantage is reduced license and maintenance fee discounts. Outsourcing gives businesses an opportunity to increase their attention to the core business by letting experts manage IT. Outsourcing also provides shorter implementation time as IT vendors can in most cases complete a new application in less time than in-house development. A reduction in personnel as another advantage as IS salaries and benefits are expensive. Outsourcing increases access to highly qualified knowledge. Clients can tap into the IT vendor’s knowledge and experience gained by working with many clients in different environments.
Some of the risks of outsourcing IT services are a loss of control, a loss of experienced employees, outsourcing involves transferring organizations employees to the highest vendor, the risk of losing competitive advantage outsourcing the development of strategic systems is the same as disclosing trade secrets. Another disadvantage is high price despite careful pre-contractual calculations companies find that outsourcing cost them significantly more than if they had spent their resources on in-house development.
Licensing
Benefits of licensing software are immediate system availability, low price (the license fee), available support, and high quality. Immediate availability shortens the time from when a decision is made to acquire the new system and when the new system begins to be productive. The product is high qual ...

Introduction
The implementation of a program can be designated as technical specification or program, software element or any 0ther systems over computer programming and the deployment. Frequently the implementations will be prevailing for a definite description or standards. The program application of a particular organization in the IT industry will give reimbursements and supports for high-level management(Ake & Kevin, 2009). It also deals with the participation of the customer. In addition, advance, the services in future, directing the audiences, the client awareness, and current programs would be understood.
The problem statement
The problem statement was a statement, which describes about, which recommendations should be done for implementing a program with high privacy as well as the security meanwhile unsecure program can source danger to an IT association and help third party to hack the information more with no trouble(Ake & Kevin, 2009). The programs that are unsecure will under no circumstances get to the clients because the programs will make them apprehension about concealed information. Furthermore, the programs must satisfy the need for the end users. Hence, it is necessary to have confidentiality (privacy), high protected, as well as user-friendly programs to circumvent many of the teething troubles.
Method used
The methods used to make an endorsement for implementing programs are two. The first method was formal method and the second one was an evaluation of R&D methods. The software companies in information technology industries helped the formal methods. The evaluation of the of R&D can be used for helping firms to improve the plan for a program and departments the surveys for identifying the usage for programs and awareness was created in an IT industry. In addition, the formal method was also used for the software development(Orthodox Presbyterian Church, 2014).
Alternative methods
Apart from the two methods used, there other method, which can be used for implementing the programs in IT industry and achieve the same results. These are such as Internet as well as software. The software itself can be able to give the codes for that software that in turn can produce a better and most useful result. These are just but a few methods that can be used for implementing the program in the software enterprises of an IT industry.
Criteria
There number of criteria to evaluate Internet, which are as follows;
I. Accuracy
This is primarily used to determine the dependability of the web resource and free from error of the informed contained in the web source. This also includes the attention of who is hosting the site like a university, professional association, or even a commercial host.

Critically examine the concept of organizational culture and evaluate its significance on organizational behavior within the Aster Group-
According to Mullins, (2010) Organizational culture is the pattern of values, norms, customs, beliefs, attitudes assumptions and strategies that shape how Aster group deliver its housing services to the people. Aster group culture was based on the promise of improving homes to modern standards whilst keeping rents stable. Other key organizational culture identified in the Aster group included; efficiency, effectiveness, initiative, care, confidence, entrepreneurial, pacesetting, track record, ambitious, adventurous, proactive, innovative and teamwork.
Aster’s organizational leaders developed organization culture over time aiming to focus the organization to the particular goals and objectives while performing its objectives.
According to Mitchell, (2003) and (Marsall, 2002) literature, The Online Library System improves the efficiency of Librarians, Library employees and Users. The Online Library System to be implemented benefits greatly the members and the Librarian of Arusha Technical College. The system provides books catalog and information to members and helps them decide on the books to borrow from the library. The Librarian can keep the books catalog updated all the time so that the members (students and the lecturers) get the updated information all the time.
ATCs’ library system is operated manually by group of people as the manual library system is explained by Ross, Brooks (1992) where many people are involved in the process of managing the library in such a way that to keep records regarding the books & students (borrowers), check the books manually, keep records on issued books, all these things are carried out manually the library has a large content and handling it is also a problem. On the other hand ATC keeps a lot of maintenance workers which costs a lot & it is not efficient for a library. Manual record keeping is also not a reliable method as people tend to forget things. On the borrower’s point of view, in manual system borrower can’t find a book exactly at once as they are not ordered well. Sometimes user might be searching for a book that is not available in the library in such situations people get annoyed or depressed. Therefore there should be a reliable way to manage the library system.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

Criteria for selecting ERP Software Vendors
1. Criteria for selecting ERP Software Vendor are listed below
A vendor, or a supplier, is a supply chain management term that means anyone who
provides goods or services to a company or individuals i.e. WEB ERA Company is
the vendor for panacea ERP software.
According to the 2013 UK ERP selection guide, we will need to assess the vendors
who are most appropriate to our organization and what size of resources, geographic
coverage and breadth of product rage we expect them to have.
Financial status - They should be financially stable since implementing a
business application is never a one-off purchase, it is a relationship.
Methodology - A prospective vendor should have a proven methodology in
order to move smoothly from old system to new one.
A prospective vendor should have a through user training approach, people
since people are the largest contribution to the success of any software
solution.
Stability - each vendor's stability must be assessed. How long have they been
in business? How long have they been selling this type of software? When
this application was first developed? How many local and inter- national
clients do they have for the application?
Professionalism - assess vendors for the professionalism displayed in dealing
with the client’s inquiry and in demonstrating their products.
Service level agreement - assess each vendor for the level of future service
and support that they offer. Do they provide telephone support at the times
you require it? Do they provide online help? What does it cost for the level of
service that you require?
Provision of customization - if the application will be customized, each vendor
should be assessed for the service they offer in this and costs involved.
Upgrade path - if the application is an entry level system that may be
upgraded in future, assess the vendor for the upgrade path offered and cost
of these upgrades.
Customer base - how many packages has the vendor sold and who buys
them?
The Vendor should have a website with varying degree of detail.
Technical experience
Market position
Good reputation
What deployment options do the vendor offers
Can the vendor’s ERP system take advantage of the expanding delivery
models like cloud computing.
Critical evaluation of the suitability of open source enterprise wide systems as
well as the established propriety industry alternatives.
According to Sam Saltis – bwired 2009, the main issues that have been raised
surrounding the evaluation include cost, service and support, innovation, usability,
and security. We will analyze and evaluate open source and propriety software with
reference to these issues.
2. Cost
Open source software is free. This is a huge draw card, and if your in-house
capabilities are such that you are able to implement, train and support at little cost to
your organization it may be an attractive option.
The cost of proprietary software is made up of a base fee for software, integration
and services and annual licensing/support fees.
This cost may be prohibitive for some; however what the user is paying for is a more
customized product like panacea from a trusted brand that includes higher levels of
security and functionality, continuous innovation, a greater ability to scale, ongoing
training and support and a lower requirement for technical skills. i.e. PANACEA is
customized for your according to the modules you purchase for example HR / Payroll
and Student fees. (Saltis, 2009)
Service and Support
Open source software relies on its online community network to deliver support via
forums and blogs. While there are massive, loyal and engaged online communities
that users can turn to, time-poor consumers of today are familiar with the immediate
service and support that enables issues to be resolved in a timely manner, and these
communities cannot guarantee the high level of responsive
Service is probably the greatest advantage of using proprietary software.
Proprietary software providers offer ongoing support to users, a key selling point for
users without technical expertise.
If the user manual or guide is not enough, or if a user experiences a problem with the
software, there is an immediate point of call to turn to for assistance.
There is a certain reduction in the risk undertaken with proprietary software because
users are working with companies that are viable, and people with intimate
knowledge of the products and services being used should any questions arise. For
example WEB ERA for have support for PANACEA both calls and onsite. (Saltis,
2009)
Innovation
Open source software enables innovation by providing users with the freedom and
flexibility to adapt the software to suit, without restriction.
It is relevant to note that open source software providers generally struggle to attract
large scale R&D.
3. Proprietary software providers do not allow users to view or alter the source code.
While this may be viewed as a disadvantage to some, it ensures the Security and
reliability of the software. For example WEB ERA offers customized Panacea
depending on the models purchased.
This innovation comes fully tested, and is available to all users of the software.
It does not require investment in R&D or the technical understanding of source code,
and assistance with implementation is generally part of the package. (bWired, 2009)
Usability
Open source software has been highly criticized for its lack of usability, as generally,
the technology is not reviewed by usability experts and does not cater to the vast
majority of computer users.
Proprietary software generally employs expert usability testing, and as the software
is normally aimed at a more targeted audience, and therefore more tailored, usability
is generally ranked quite high. i.e. panacea is intended for schools and was tested in
that environment for usability.
Security
Open source software is often viewed as having security issues. New data from
Forrester Research has shown that 58% of IT Executives and technology decision
makers in large companies are concerned about the security of open source
software.
Proprietary software is viewed as more secure because it is developed in a
controlled environment by a concentrated team with a common direction.
Conclusion
When deciding between open source or closed source (proprietary) software, it is
critical to first consider the organization’s business internal (resources and
capabilities) and external (stable or evolving) environment, and the level of risk the
organization is willing to take. The aforementioned issues can then be used as a
guide to make an informed decision between the two. (Saltis, 2009)
4. Question 2:
Analyse the limitations, advantages and disadvantages of the ERP packages you
have evaluated.
Limitations of ERP
Extensive training sessions to the staff; implementing an ERP package, for instance
Library management, an organization will have to incur extra costs apart from
installation charges but will have to train the library staffs on how to use such
package let alone that, the organization will also have to train the students or end
users of the library, mainly to make sure students will be able to access and locate
all the necessary and helpful details.
Violation of some organizational policies; ever since ERP are customized in
accordance of the organizational needs, some customizations may lead to extensive
transparency in an organization, which might violate some of the policies, for
instance in students information system, showing the attendance or coursework can
result to alternating of such information by the students themselves by hacking into
the system.
A longer time in implementing an ERP project; some organizations are very complex
and need more than one module in their ERP, implementing such phases usually
consume a lot of time not only that but also setting up a few modules will also take
time to for training the staff and the system administrators.
Advantages of ERP packages
Better organizational control, especially in large companies, where the volume
of information is more than in a small company.
Duplication of information is avoided; Modules access same data from the
central database, avoids multiple data input and update operations. (Rashid,
Hossain & Patrick, 2002)
Improved communication, both internally and externally, with a module such
as student information system, it is easier to communicate with students even
if their outside the campus or on holidays.
Improved decision-making process within an organization; it is easier for the
organization to make decisions for instance in an educational institute if the
5. students are qualifying for continuation of studies in given semesters, or even
in selecting the best student and awarding them presents.
Time efficiency; an educational institution using students information system
module can easily track the students attendance days, hand in assignments
and submission of assignments.
Disadvantages of ERP packages
The high cost of implementation and maintenance. (High initial investment)
Adaptation to the hardware in an organization.
It is necessary to train all employees in the organization so that the package is
used efficiently, with a beneficial output.
Integration with other applications in the enterprise needed.
Inflexibility of the system, because this is a generic system.
There are few experts in this system.
If the system is not applied correctly, it can be very detrimental to the
company.
Identify what opportunities SOA & SaaS technologies have provided for Higher
Education Institutions in Tanzania who traditionally have not considered entering the
ERP market.
SOA will benefit higher education institutes; since SOA, will enable such institutions
flexibility by integrating various departments and being enabling data agility, which is
to be easily accessed through appropriate departments, and hence enable reaching
of the institutes goal, thus technology, Departmental, and Administrative staff must
work together to clearly articulate services and how they may be offered to end
users.
Reduce the work load for educational institutions to manage various number of
software across different departments; if these applications are reconfigured into a
services which are operated on the same setting, it will enable such institutions to
become more cost efficient ever since of operating from the same setting and using
of a single software for versatile tasks.
Reducing of borders by enabling easy sharing of information; higher learning
institutions have different campuses which are separated geographically, it may be a
tedious task to enable sharing of information cutting across all campuses and to be
time efficient & cost efficient as when the notification is to be received.
SOA accommodates changes to be made in the information technology
infrastructure; in configuring SOA it’s not mandatory to install the whole package at
once, two modules (service operations), might be installed perhaps the accounting
and human resource modules, now when the institute will be ready to make other
changes on SOA it will be affordable and sustained easily.
6. Minimizing manual data entry involvements, this will lead to data integrity;
“minimizing manual involvements for system administration. With their value
demonstrated since the emergence of on demand environments, self-managing
autonomic capabilities have been used in support of strategic innovation, and are
constantly maturing and evolving to readily deliver value in the context of the
demands of SOA-based settings”. (IBM, 2006)
Question 3
Synthesise and justify a practical implementation strategy for the enterprise wide
system package recommended. Ensure you include a strategy to overcome the
problems often associated with the implementation of ERP software projects. Base
your answer on appropriate theory and case studies/academic articles found in
academic literature.
A higher education learning institution which uses a traditional system in Tanzania is
looking forward to implement an ERP project, basing on panacea online educational
solutions; we will start with an implementation strategy of phased rollout or
incremental strategy.
Incremental strategy
“In phased strategy the elements or modules of the ERP system are introduced
slowly in a well planned sequence. The legacy systems are replaced gradually with
the new one. In the phased approach, the organization first focuses on the most
important business requirements and the initial implementations are made only to a
limited number of organizational units. Once first transition is successfully achieved,
and then a little less important or complex functions are added in the next phase to
include additional organizational units.” (Leon, 2009)
The incremental strategy will enable the higher learning institution, to be more time
efficient in processing admission of students, performing the educational reviews of
students from one semester to another and also reviewing the phases of various
modules and monitor well the feedback process which will help in successfully
implementation of further modules.
Phased rollout by module
In this Strategy, ERP modules are implemented one at a time. It begins with core
business functions those necessary for daily operations and then more modules and
functionality are added with each incremental phase. This is most common approach
used by organizations. (Neal, softwareadvice 2010)
7. By using this technique the high learning institution will implement an ERP using two
modules.
1. Admission management system. ( Panacea, 2015)
2. Student’s information system. (Panacea, 2015)
Admission management system
This module will consist of admission & registration details, students detail &
attendance, fees detail, it will allow user to upload annual syllabus and update
tentative dates for syllabus completion.
Student’s information system
This module consist of students personal details, exam schedule, internal & external
marks, news & notice, it will allow the users to download the syllabus, course
material, mark sheet, certificates and admit cards.
A strategy to overcome the problems often associated with the implementation
of ERP software projects
Change management strategy:
Improvement strategies, such as ERP implementation, commonly involve change.
Hence, responsiveness to internal customers is critical for an organization to avoid
the difficulties associated with this change. (Aladwani, 2001)
To assist top management with the complex organizational problem of workers'
resistance to ERP implementation, Aladwani, suggests an integrated, process-
oriented conceptual framework consisting of three phases (Figure 1): knowledge
formulation, strategy implementation, and status evaluation. (Aladwani, 2001)
8. Figure 1 suggested framework of managing change associated with ERP
Source: (Aladwani, 2001)
Knowledge formulation phase
The first step in effectively managing change introduced by IT is to identify and
evaluate the attitudes of individual users and influential groups, this analysis should
address such questions as:
Who are the resisting individuals and/or groups?
What are their needs?
What beliefs and values do they have?
What are their interests?
The answers to these fundamental questions may offer a good starting point in
determining the sources of employees' resistance to the ERP system. (Aladwani,
2001)
Strategy implementation phase
Management can use the knowledge regarding potential users from the previous
stage to set up strategies that can best overcome users' resistance to the ERP
system, and to convince as many users as possible to adopt it (Aladwani, 1998). If
this is the case, it is more appropriate to find an action sheet for implementing the
selected strategies. The three-level adoption process (think-feel-do) provides a good
framework for describing this phase. (Aladwani, 2001)
In an attempt to change the attitudes of potential users of ERP, management must
first try to affect the cognitive component of users' attitudes. A major strategy for
9. achieving this goal is communication. One effective communication strategy is to
inform potential users of the benefits of ERP.
Status evaluation phase
The process of monitoring and evaluating change management strategies for ERP
implementation is the last component of the suggested framework. Besides having a
performance measurement system to ensure that the desired business outcomes
were achieved. (Aladwani, 2001)
To overcome users' resistance to change, top management has to:
study the structure and needs of the users and the causes of potential
resistance among them;
deal with the situation by using the appropriate strategies and techniques in
order to introduce ERP successfully; and
Evaluate the status of change management efforts.
