Case Study Part 3 – MS Powerpoint Executive Presentation
Use the project description HERE to complete this activity. For
a review of the complete rubric used in grading this exercise,
click on the Assignments tab, then on the title Case Study Part 3
- Exec Presentation (Powerpoint)– click on Show Rubrics if the
rubric is not already displayed.
To the maximum extent possible, utilize the rule of 7’s - no
more than seven bullets per slide, and no more than seven words
per bullet.
Note: there are several tutorials on Power Point functions in the
topic labeled "Optional Tutorials – Power Point project" in the
Readings list for Week 8.
The details of the hardware and software solution need to be in
the slides.
The purpose of this presentation is to present the hardware and
software solution for a decision. For example, make and model
of hardware and short description should be in the slide but be
brief and in bullet format. The speaker notes are for
amplification. Slides with Speaker notes should contain at least
four complete sentences (in the notes section) each. Think of
the speaker notes as what you would actually say during the
presentation. Also, if someone wants to review the presentation
later, the speaker notes will provide sufficient information for
the reader to understand what you presented.
Points will be deducted for any spelling or grammatical errors
either on the slide or in the speaker notes.
The summary MUST link the proposed solution to the
requirements.
Create a presentation to outline your proposal to meet the case
study requirements. Identify the purpose and audience (the
Director) for your presentation.

Computer requirements Specifications
Introduction

Compute gadgets are essential for multiple purposes today with
their technology changing with time. The more the technology,
the more the usefulness and flexibility of these computer
devices. For any organization to ensure that the technology
associated with computer devices, it essential to ensure that the
ICT department has the latest generation of computer platforms
in the organization structure. This is because if the firm
continues relying in the old IBM machines, they will be
ineffective in performance and the functionality of such
generation will be limited also (PCMAG, 2016).
The table below will provide the necessary requirements that
must be met for the laptops that are recommended for the
Director’s requirements in the case study given.

Case Study- Director’s Request for PCs using MS Word Table,
MS Access, and MS PowerPoint
Case Study – Using MS Office 2010 / 2013 / 365
Please use the document “READ FIRST - Case Study
Instructions – Director’s Requirements” for each of the parts
described below.
Part 1: Specifications Table (MS Word)
Use the project description HERE to complete this activity. For
a review of the complete rubric used in grading this exercise,
click on the Assignments tab, then on the title Case Study Part 1
- PC Specs (Word)– click on Show Rubrics if the rubric is not
already displayed.
For the case study provided to you, create MS Word tables that
identify and contain the hardware and software requirements to
meet the director's requirements. The MS Word document in its
final form will include 6 MS Word tables. It will include a two-
paragraph narrative summary that classifies the user type and
identifies the PC category that will be recommended. The
specific instructions are found in the table at the end of this
file.
Students are expected to conduct external research to

adequately address all aspects of the assignment requirements.
It is suggested that students use a computer manufacturer's site
(i.e., Apple, Dell, Toshiba) to help in identifying all the
components needed to meet the director's requirements.
Remember, although there are 5 computers to be purchased, you
are required to configure only one, as the same one may be
purchased for all 5 employees. Any outside sources should be
correctly cited in APA style at the end of the table. Students
will need to include specific requirements from the case study
to show why each item is being recommended. Each element
listed below must be incorporated into the assignment.
Omissions will result in loss of points.
Make and model and description are required, when at all
possible.. For example, if the solution suggested is a 32” IBM
Monitor, say so. Do not just say monitor because that does not
provide sufficient information for a purchase. It is not
necessary, for example, to identify the make and model of a
USB port.
You must also consider components that may be a part of a
machine or device. For example, the System Unit table will
require elements such as USB ports. The monitor and mouse
are typically separate devices on a desktop, but on a laptop or
tablet they are often integrated. You should identify the various
forms of input and output for your computer(s) on the Hardware
table, whether they are separate devices or integrated elements.
There should be sufficient detail in this case study for
procurement/purchasing personnel to buy the systems. Details
are crucial.
Don’t focus on web references as to where the equipment can be
found, although you may include your source(s). Focus on a
solution to specific requirements.

Do not ‘number’ requirements in your table, even though they
are numbered in the “Case Study – Director’s Requirements’
document. In many cases there are several requirements
expressed in a single numbered listing. It’s important that you
are clear about which requirement is addressed by a specific
piece of hardware or software.
All identified hardware and software and relevant requirements
must be listed in the tables. Mentioning an item or a
requirement in the two paragraph narrative is perfectly ok, but it
must also be in the tables.
Additional information:
You are supposed to tie back your recommended specs to all of
the original requirements. Spell out the requirements that apply
to your selection of hardware, etc and do so in the tables. Your
customer would not appreciate having to go guess as to which
requirement is being met by your items.
Don't forget the components necessary for the computers to
communicate with each other and connect to the internet.
Suggested layout for the tables (other layouts are possible):
Three columns: Group (Input, Output, Etc), Device,
Requirement; then one row for each Device. Arrange your tables
so that you don't leave lots of blank rows. See the Sample
Tables for suggested layouts. These samples can be found in
the topic labeled "Optional Tutorials-Word project" in the
Readings for Week 4.
Include details where it makes sense. For example:
Scanner. This isn't enough information to tell what the device is
capable of. The customer wants to know how it's "tricked out".
What model is it? Is it an All-In-One or standalone (why?)?
How much RAM does it have? Does it have wireless capability?
Can it accept camera memory cards? What resolution can it
handle?
Adapter Cards. Your customer wants to create and edit high

quality photos and videos. This usually means you'll need a
beefed-up graphics adapter. Be prepared to answer these
questions: What model is it? How much RAM does it have? Is it
integrated or discrete? This means you need to understand a
little about graphics cards. Integrated means it is a chip (not an
actual card) that is part of the motherboard. Typically,
integrated video is ok but not as powerful as discrete video
cards. These are actual adapter cards that have lots more
circuitry and dedicated RAM than the smaller integrated chips.
So they are more powerful and better for the customer’s
requirements.
Monitor. While the software applications actually enable video
creation and editing, the hardware enables the "high quality"
requirement. You can hook up a display to the standard VGA
port on the computer. However, the newer machines come with
HDMI ports, which enables High Definition displays. If the
recommended desktop or laptop has an HDMI port the user can
get full 1080p on the video display unit. These specifications
may satisfy the customer’s requirement to create and edit high
quality digital photos and videos.
Ports. Everybody needs ports, right? I just described an
important one - HDMI. How about Ethernet, SATA, FireWire,
USB (2.0 or 3.0), media cards? Think of the data
transfer/exchange requirements and what kind of speeds are
necessary to make them work effectively.
External Storage. The customer may want users to exchange
data quickly. Are CDs or DVDs the way to go? What about USB
flash memory cards? Or some kind of network storage?
Here are the specific instructions:
