The document summarizes two vendor proposals from FutureTech and VBS for outsourcing Pacific Petroleum's IT operations. It evaluates the proposals based on key criteria like experience, cost, quality and communication. While FutureTech is more established, VBS offers to employ all current staff and proposes the latest development methodologies. A cost analysis finds FutureTech's proposal more cost-effective. The document also outlines potential issues around security, termination of contract, technical refresh and ownership that need clarification in the final agreement.
An Oversight or a New Customer Phenomenon, Getting the Most of your Contact C...Cisco Canada
As corporations consistently seek to maximize customer loyalty, secure predictable revenue, gain a competitive advantage and ensure customer satisfaction, more than often the words ‘Contact Center’ are never spoken. Much of the budget is allocated to the corporate marketing groups as they unveil flashy new websites, packaging and literature targeted for new and existing customers. More often than not, the Contact Center which is a critical portal to these customers is neglected with respect to revenue generation and customer loyalty.
This is a special report by IEEE - Power System relaying Committee's Working Group I12 outlining industry practices of Quality Assurance for protection and control design drawing packages. Throughout the electric utility industry, the drive to maximize quality assurance practices has gained increased prominence. These practices mitigate common errors frequently encountered in engineering design packages, specific to
Protection and Control (P&C) design. This report will illustrate industry practices to be applied in a Quality Assurance
Program for protection and control design drawing packages; from conception to final “as-built.” It is the reader’s responsibility to incorporate these practices into their organization’s Quality Assurance Program.

Executive Summary
The Project Management Masters (PMM) are very pleased to have been selected to implement an Information Technology (IT) solution at Noah’s Ark Animal Clinic. This document provides a summary and a forecast of the project that will take place.
Studies have shown that, when done correctly, the implementation of an IT infrastructure in a small business can lead to improved quality of information, increased individual productivity, and increased organizational productivity (Narkhede, Raut, Patil, & Mahajan, 2013). While there are no regulatory requirements for safeguarding a veterinary patient’s medical history, the clinic houses Personally Identifiable Information (PII) belonging to their customers.
PII is “information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, either alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual” (Office of Management and Budget, 2014). Implementation of an IT solution will also offer increased security of such information.
The Noah’s Ark Animal Clinic automation project is projected to take a maximum of six months to complete. There are little risks associated with the project, and recommendations for mitigation are included in this Project Charter.
Upon completion of the project, PMM will offer a ninety day warranty period. Should any issues arise during this ninety day warranty period, whether they be hardware, software, or user related, PMM will be responsible for timely correction of the issue.
Approval of the Project Charter authorizes PMM to commence work on the Noah’s Ark Animal Clinic Automation Project.

Activity schedule and affective control of component based projecteSAT Journals
Abstract Abstract The overall performance of any organizations depends on the way the project is managed and scheduled. The successful implementation of one or two big or complex project does not indicate that this organization will perform In the same way in future. Component based implementation of software development projects in the automotive industry have to face the rapid strategies for the use of the latest technologies that would provide the success of this type of projects, namely the frequency of change requirements during the life cycle. The cost and time for software testing was analyzed and to avoid delays in the project and more to cope with disturbances caused by changing requirements in the each phase of the project life cycle. Using of Component Based Software Engineering(CBSE) in software company, the implementation of any software project has become easy but the integration of available component or their use is the not only skill of project manager but the delivery of project in time is a required.. The project manager ensure the success of their project as a competitive advantage and establish such a system which will work with limited resources and available time. The project management tools and techniques i.e. Critical Path Methods(CPM) or Program Evaluation and Review Techniques (PERT) are used in reality as the most valuable and are planned to be used in the component based software testing system. This research result point out that there is a huge difference between planned and unplanned testing project. It also shows that the time of testing can be reduced with increase of cost of failure as a result the company may decide the benefit from that project. Analysis of the results allows to determine dependencies between level of company’s maturity level in project management, used project management tools and techniques, and values gained by the company from project management time to time with measured risk factor. Key Words: K Component Base Software Engineering(CBSE), CPM, PERT, Project life cycle, planned or unplanned project

1.0 Introduction
Singh, Shirah, and Barber Financial Holdings LLC. continues to grow its business, increasing their dependency on information technogy. The firm has reached a point where a more flexible, scalable, straightforward infrastructure, and easily managed applications are required for sucessful business practices. A solution like Amazon Web Services (AWS) can provide the computer power, storage, and other resources needed as the firm expands.
Solution
s of this magnitude do require a considerable amount of upfront investment, but will provide minimal cost for subsequential years reducing overall capital expenses. This solution will also enable minimal effort when moving applications to the cloud, minimizing support, to include administrative cost while retaining performance, security, reliability, and data integrity. 1.1 Company at a Glance
Singh, Shirah, and Barber Financial Holdings LLC., has drastically increased the number of clients and accounts over the past couple of years. This growth prompted the need for more qualified staff, additional offices and space, and newer communication technologies to facilitate services and improved management. The firm has acquired several buildings in various cities which are ready to be outfitted with network infrastructure, user workstations, peripherals and software applications. 1.2 Challenges
With just one present location in XYZ city growth in its industry is challenging, therefore the opening of several branch locations in various cities coupled with the data migration to a cloud service has become its number one project. The firm’s current infrastructure is limited, it does not currently have a full scale WAN and remote access (VPN), only a local LAN through the major local ISP is employed. All backups are stored onsite with tape copies sent to a cold off site location. Databases with all financial information are stored in the local server and there are no true access control restrictions. Additionally, there is only one system administrator performing all major database tasks and network functions.
Financial health is one of the most protected types of digital content. Finding ways to store, secure, and manage such data in this ever changing world of computing is a challenge. In order for the firm to grow and blossom, a large and fast LAN/WAN network is needed. Such network must provide access to internal resources via secure methods of authentication and also from the outside by a secure web interface client. VPN capabilities for traveling and visiting staff should provide a secure connection to internal resources. Access to the network and network shares must be tightly secured based on departmental roles. All databases will be kept in separate servers and backups will be conducted routinely (Weekly, Monthly; incremental/full). Access to database tables will be based on individual approval; single sign on authenti.

Executive Summary
Network under a set of confined region is known as Intranet. It uses an IP protocol and IP-based tools like the file transfer application and web browsers that is provided by the server to only assigned IP address. Computer network communication is an important installation in a contemporary organization organisation. As the organization's service provision is improved through the reliable communication, its competition with related firms is enhanced and, therefore, valued competence. Ultimate network design as a mode of flow of information among employees and stakeholders in promotes coordination in the management, team work and services the business offer. This automatically improves the performance of the organisation at the good will of all workers.
It should be noted that an organisation's communication systems alone holds a large percentage in its performance that it should not be compromised, even on the slightest default. This would mean that the organisation would require an Information System that when a default occurs at any single point in the connection system, it would be easier to detect and reach that point as soon as possible. The design should be design with backbone network so temporally technical problem with not upset the performance of network communication. This is more appropriate in big organisations to maintain their data and communication confidentiality, integrity and accessibility. In networking design approach, the choice of device should be intelligently selected for the desired function, this will enhance performance in terms of managing security, traffic, errors in storage and transmitting information.
Documents and programs that are sensitive are run through LAN security domain system to create passwords for their protection against cybercrimes. The protected file would then be accessed by authorised personnel only. This would be an important idea where security of flowing information is paramount. Each set of the employee has got a privilege to prevent the access of any restricted file in the company.

Drive Business Excellence with Outcomes-Based Contracting: The OBC ToolkitCAST
Making Outcomes-Based Contracting Work With Facts
Introduction by Amit Anand, Robert Asen & Vijay Anand of Cognizant
Using metrics to develop effective results-based contracts
Managing outcome based application contracts requires a combination of scope management,
pricing, and, above all, quality. As suppliers and clients evolve the relationship, the
need for clear facts dominates conversations.
The premise of outcomes-based contracting is that hours (and indeed rate) are inputs to
the ADM process (not outputs), and that structures that measure programming results are
now both possible and achievable. Outcomes-based structures bring the original intent of
software to the forefront—creating successful results. While many companies have shifted
from input-based to output-based contracting, forward-thinking IT leaders are also taking
steps to define a sustainable outcomes-based relationship with their ADM suppliers.
Outcomes-based contracts focus on how the delivered product adds value, while inputand
output-based contracts focus on the resources and the activities needed to deliver the
outcome, respectively.
