Assignment 2 (30% - Due on 26 May 2016)
Topic: Systems Implementation
Length: 1500 words (maximum – excluding appendices)
This is a follow up from Assignment 1. My State Hospital has approved your planning document and they have now asked you to implement your recommendations from the planning document. Initially, you will develop a Systems Implementation document detailing the following:
• ICT infrastructure required to implement your plan, along with appropriate justification.
• An Enterprise Systems that is required to implement your plan, along with appropriate justification.
• Recommend an implementation methodology to ensure the successful implementation of the infrastructure and enterprise system.
• A comprehensive costing analysis, along with appropriate justification.
• A roadmap to highlight the sequence of project/ milestones to support your plans transition from the current state to future state. Include key critical success factors for each step in the plan.
• Include a risk analysis for the plan with mitigating plans for any high risks items
Your documentation should highlight how you plan to assure privacy and security aspects as customer details need to be secured. Otherwise, the Hospital will be subjected to legal prosecution. Therefore, you need to verify your design concept carefully, accommodate appropriate testing protocols, and a comprehensive schedule for quality assurance.
My State Hospital, at this stage, is not interested in actual development. They want only an implementation plan schedule and how this implementation can be accomplished successfully.
You have the freedom to use any business report-writing format of your choice, as long as the report is professional and presentable.
