For this assignment, you will be assessed by the ability to select appropriate hardware and software resources according to organisational needs and expectations. You need to prepare a report based on the scenario given.

Scenario: Youve just been hired as a PC support technician in the IT department of your school. Upgrading an existing system can be a good thing to do, but sometimes the upgrade costs more than the systems actual worth. Also, if existing components are old, they might not be compatible with components you want to use for the upgrade.

A new staff member, Renata was recently hired as a personnel assistant in the Human Resources Department of the company. Because you are the PC support technician, she has requested you to recommend a computer she will use for her role in the employee benefits administration department.

You need to make sure that she gets all the required computer tools to be productive in her job profile.

Renata says that she will need an Office suite and that her manager gave her a choice of Microsoft Office 2016 or WordPerfect Office X8.

Because she has previous work experience with the WordPerfect word processor, which is part of WordPerfect suite, she would like to use it.

The WordPerfect suite includes most of the tools she needs, so her other software requirements are minimal.

In addition to WordPerfect Office, Renata needs the Windows operating system.

She also needs a desktop publishing because part of her role she needs to make marketing materials and other documents for the organisation.

The desktop publishing software should be an easy-to-use and less expensive alternative to the "heavyweights" with a focus on the small business market where firms do not have dedicated design professionals.

Renata really needs your help with the decisions on hardware. Renatas manager said she has very little money left in this years department budget for hardware. So Renatas manager has suggested finding a basic starter system, but one that could be upgraded next year when there will be more money available for computer equipment.

Renata wants you to recommend a hardware configuration that meets her immediate needs, is reasonably priced, and can be upgraded next year. This hardware configuration must support running the software Renata has selected. The hardware purchased by Renata must also be compatible with the department local area network (LAN), which operates on a Windows 2008 server. The network server can provide Renata with access to one of two laser printers, so the hardware system she buys need not include a printer. However, Renata wants to be able to scan documents into her system, and no scanner is available on the network.

Analyse Renatas situation and recommend a specific hardware and software configuration that will meet her immediate needs. In addition, find equipment for sale in a local trade magazine or advertised online or in a local newspaper that you believe is the appropriate configuration for Renata. When you are finished, prepare a report of recommended list of hardware specifications (and prices, if available) that Renata could take to her manager.

You need to prepare a report based on five-phase model Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) type (Brandon, 2006)[1] to select appropriate hardware and software resources for the organisation.

Definition: Determine the goals, scope and requirements of the ICT solution

Design: Resolution of technical issues, selection of architecture and standards

Construction: Implementation of the design, testing and documentation of the system.

Installation: Roll-out of the services offered by the systems or vendor to the end-users, training.

Operation/maintenance: Problem solving, user support, incremental improvement through monitoring and an evaluation focusing on the use of the services by the end-users.
