You have opened a business and you discover that you are missing/or have an incorrect process that must be changed using IT. Your immediate need is to identify your IT requirement (only one from the four list below) and specific alternatives (equipment or an application) to support that process that you are missing or is not being performed correctly. Use the textbook, web research and the grading rubric found here in Canvas to develop a solution to your IT problem. Read the attached power point presentation on the problem-solving process to ensure you understand how to complete this paper.

• Computer security systems
• ISP provider
• Marketing via the web
• Recovery/backup of your data

As a minimum your paper must contain (It is a good idea to use these heading in your paper to keep you focused):

• Problem statement

• Approach to solving this problem
• Multiple possible solutions to solve the problem
• Pros and cons of each solution
• Proposed solution with the reasoning for the selected solution
• Reflect on the process of solve this problem

Complete this paper using MLA formatting that you learned about in Word Unit 2. Your paper must include research to solve the specific problem.

Criteria Ratings Pts This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeDefine Problem threshold: 2.0 pts 4 pts Demonstrates the ability to construct a clear and insightful problem statement with evidence of all relevant contextual factors. 3 pts Demonstrates the ability to construct a problem statement with evidence of most relevant factors, and problem statement is adequately detailed. 2 pts Begins to demonstrate the ability to construct a problem statement with evidence of most relevant factors, but problem statement is superficial. 1 pts Demonstrates a limited ability in identifying a problem statement or related factors. 0 pts Does not demonstrate the ability to identify a problem statement. -- This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeIdentify Strategies threshold: 2.0 pts 4 pts Identifies multiple approaches for solving the problem within a specific context. 3 pts Identifies multiple approaches for solving the problem, only some of which apply within a specific context. 2 pts Identifies only a single approach for solving the problem that does apply within a specific context. 1 pts Identifies one or more approaches for solving the problem that do not apply within a specific context. 0 pts Does not demonstrate the ability to identify strategies. -- This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomePropose Solutions threshold: 2.0 pts 4 pts Proposes solutions that indicates a deep comprehension of the problem. (May include: ethical, logical, and cultural dimensions of the problem.) 3 pts Proposes solutions that indicates comprehension of the problem. 2 pts Proposes a solution that is off the shelf rather than individually designed to address the specific factors of the problem. 1 pts Proposes a solution that is difficult to evaluate because it is vague or only indirectly addresses the problem statement. 0 pts Does not demonstrate the ability to propose a solution. -- This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeEvaluate Multiple Potential Solutions threshold: 2.0 pts 4 pts Evaluates solutions with a thorough explanation of each. 3 pts Evaluates solutions with an adequate explanation. 2 pts Evaluates solutions with a brief explanation that begins to demonstrate the ability to weigh potential solutions, but explanation lacks depth. 1 pts Evaluates solutions with a superficial explanation, which is cursory and surface level. 0 pts Does not demonstrate the ability to evaluate possible solutions. -- This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeEvaluate Impact of Selected Solution(s) threshold: 2.0 pts 4 pts Evaluates impact of selected solution(s) thoroughly. (May include: history of problem, review of logic/reasoning, and feasibility of solution.) 3 pts Evaluates impact of selected solution(s) adequately. 2 pts Evaluates impact of selected solution(s) briefly in a way that begins to demonstrate the ability to weigh a potential impact, but explanation lacks depth. 1 pts Evaluates impact of selected solution(s) superficially, in a cursory and surface level manner. 0 pts Does not demonstrate ability to evaluate impact of solution(s). -- This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeReflect on Problem-Solving Process threshold: 2.0 pts 4 pts Reviews problem-solving process thoroughly relative to the problem defined with specific considerations of the need for further work. 3 pts Reviews problem-solving process relative to the problem defined with some consideration of need for further work. 2 pts Reviews problem-solving process in terms of the problem defined with little, if any, consideration of need for further work. 1 pts Reviews problem-solving process superficially in terms of the problem defined with no consideration of need for further work. 0 pts Does not demonstrate the ability to review the problem-solving process. -- Total Points: 0
