1.0. INTRODUCTIONPurpose of INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY Project Charterthe abc’s INFORMATIONA
tECHNONOLOGY pROJECT PROPOSAL charter documents a
research and formulation of a surveillance security system
which is targeted to appraise internal security within the
company includingthe project’s proposed budget as well as the
deliverables together with the required appraisals. The carter
further acts to validate and substantiate the feasibility of this
project meeting company specifications and its ability to meet
organizational needs through the ICT department.
The intended audience of the Information Technology Project
Charter is the project sponsor who topples up as the System
technician with ABC’s ICT department and the Administration
of ABC.project And Product Overview
The project’s vision is to enhance the beefing up security
measures within ABC Company. Besides, the system will be
geared to nothing else but will help in attaining the company’s
profit maximization goals and in making sure that the company
attains international risk management status.
The proposed project will provide a plan of the project
containing the foresaid project’s important procedures, the
project’s proposed budget, the deliverables and the required
appraisals for the project to succeed. The project also validates
and substantiates the feasibility of organizational security by
meeting company specifications and its ability to meet
organizational needs.
The Information Technology project employs the use of the
pipeline management as its project portfolio management
method. The methodology involves having the capital
application project being identified and raising measureable
deliverables that the project has to attain (Ding, 2009). In

addition, the use of the organizational resources is classified
both as time based and objective based.
The project at hand has a restrictedlife span of one full year of
generating the surveillance security system, two months that
will cover the pilot phase, a third of a year to facilitate the
overhaul and finally three months that will enable performance
appraisal.
3. O. PROJECT PROBLEMS
The major areas of concern which will be addressed once the
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 within company internal
controls as well as inspection programs (Ding, 2009).The two
areas for a long time have posed a challenge to the company
particularly the later which has seen the company’s production
dwindling. As thus, federal government has highly
recommended the use of these improved surveillance systems
within the corporate institutions to make sure an extensive
approach to not only homeland security, but also international
security.
3.1. PROPOSED SOLUTIONS TO THE BUSINESS
PROBLEMS
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 as follows;
Firstly, Potential damages to property and the individuals 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.
Secondly, the establishments of a program that will be keep
track of all the activities of the employees within the
organization with the key concern being establishment of
employee production. It will lead to each employee trying to
optimize his productivity rate thus production will rise in

capacity.
Thirdly, the beefing up of security in that the network creation
will connect the organization’s security system to that of the
homeland security. That will facilitate the access of security
assistance from homeland security by the company in the event
of a security alarm (Hou et al., 2008). .
The fourth solution is Cost reduction in key areas such as the
inspection fee since inspection professionals required in the
production section of the organization will significantly reduce
in number once the system developed comes into operation.
The fifth solution would be Reduction of losses that relate to
inadequate surveillance that leads to pilferage, crime and
terrorism activities once the system is developed in the long-
run. The profits on the other hand will be maximized.
Lastly, the business premise will reduce long-term liability in
the event of unforeseen crimes whose main cause is negligent
performance.

prepares them to induce change at the same time reducing
chances of resistance. The training will also boost service
delivery to customers as transactions will be executed on a
timely basis and in accordance to customers’ needs and
specifications. It will end up giving the company a competitive
advantage over its worthy competitors- thanks to the improved
delivery of services (Flammini, Setola&Franceschetti, 2013).
6. PROJECT CONNECTION WITH HOMELAND
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. This projects aims to control a system that
connects the company’s security control system to the homeland
security to enable information to be shared on security issues
are swift, intellectual as well as steadfast.
To come up with a project whose benefits outweighs the cons of
project development and implementation(Williams, 2006).
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 in the organization
as well as an increase in funds put in by independent individuals

who are third parties to the company (Ding, 2009). This is a
result of the rise in confidence of the company’s management
besides other direct not forgetting indirect advantages.

Project’s vision
The project’s vision is to enhance the beefing up security
measures within ABC Company .Besides, the system will be
geared to nothing else but will help in attaining the company’s
profit maximization goals and in making sure that the company
attains international risk management status.
The goals of the projects are

To ascertain that within a span of 21 months, the organization
has been able to establish a robust surveillance system.
To spearhead optimal utilization of capital allotted to the
project development process.
To ensure a comprehensive coverage and dealing of all the
surveillance related risks that the company faces.
Major Deliverables of the project
Development of a surveillance system within the given time
limit
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 them how to operate the system (Hou et al., 2008).
Developing 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.
Training of staff on the usability of the newly developed

Training of staff on the use 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
competitive advantage over its worthy competitors- thanks to
the improved delivery of services (Flammini, Setola &

Franceschetti, 2013).
Ensure the security control within the company’s system is in
connection with homeland security
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. This projects aims to control a system that
