1. The manager of the purchasing department of a company has now been promoted to director of Finance. Her position has been given to the manager of accounting and in turn, a new staff member has been employed to fill this role. Does this restructure necessitate any change to the company’s structural documentation?
Yes this restructures necessarily demands a change in the company’s structural documentation because this involves joining of a new employee in the system and an existing employee has been shifted to some other role so in this case there is a definite requirement to recommence and change the existing structural documentation of the company.

Read the scenario below:
‘Southern Dental Services is a small dental practice in a regional town. There are two dentists, Pamela Jones and Brian Huang. The practice has four support staff to manage the day to day running of the practice – Jane Emerson, who looks after the appointments, Brenda Gale, who handles the accounts, Keith Dickson, who manages the patient details, and Pauline Santoro who organises the ordering of supplies etc. Pauline obtains most of the supplies for the clinic from David Andrews, who runs a business selling medical and dental supplies. She orders all of the other office related products from Peter Smith’s business, Office Stuff. The clinic has five hundred patients on its books, some of whom, like Mrs. Mary O’Halloran, have been coming to the clinic since it opened, ten years ago.’

Think about the type of constraints that might apply if you were investigating the options for purchasing a new car.
The various types of constraints that might be applicable for checking the options of buying a new car would be as follows:
Organizational standards certainly affect your interactions with clients.
Think of three areas where you need to follow organizational standards.
It is the yardstick based on which any organization can engage with the customer for providing goods or services just to reflect the level of customer interaction. The 3 areas where I need to follow the organizational standard are as follows.
The first area is about the information policy of the organization which deals with the authenticity and truthfulness of the information which the organization shares with the customer, it also take care of the fact that how convenient it is for the customers to access such information and finally to what level our own team members are equipped enough to pass on such information to the customers.
The second area is about the delivery of service to our customers. It includes factors like can we maintain the commitment to the customer and can deliver the same to them, are the customer complaints handled and resolved properly and are we at par with the pre decided level of the organization’s service delivery norms or not.
The third area is about the customer itself. It includes the most vital factors of knowing the customer by their segments, by their particular requirements and choices.
What do you find useful about using a set design or template?
The most useful thing about using a template is that it helps to identify the areas in which information from the customer is required. It helps to analyze client requirements and problems of the client as well. So templates often serve as the skeleton which acts as the cornerstone for documentations. It helps to save both time and money by providing consistency and clarity to the entire process of the work. The manner in which templates are used to provide information to customers it also forms a strong reason for customer satisfaction as well.
Select a familiar IT process and attempt to document the data capture/input interface methods. What are the positives and negatives of the selected method? In what way could the system be improved?
Nearshore keying method of data capture has been selected. The positives of this method are as follows.
It can capture high volume of data even from sources like individual documents
It is very useful in utilizing the capturing of data that could not be done successfully at past even by using intelligent data capture methods.
The drawbacks of this method are that it suffers from lack of consistency of data capture from time to time due to which there is a fair amount of chance of wrong capturing of data thus diluting the entire volume of the inputs.
The system can be improved by providing a better monitoring system of the input interface method so that any slack in the process can be immediately identified and can be resolved without any further delay.
An important part of preparing technical requirements documentation involves selecting or eliminating pre-built products. Write a short paragraph detailing the advantages and disadvantages of off-the-shelf software solutions.
Off the shelf software solutions are readymade products which can be put to use from the very first day of procuring them as they are made to meet the demand of the mass. So the first advantage of using a off the shelf software solution is the readiness of its utility, secondly all these software solutions have a very strong back up of supporting manuals in order to help the user get accustomed to the product at the shortest possible time. In some cases such software providers also give the required technical support. Such solutions have drawbacks as well. Like at times the user may need to pay extra sum of money for any support related to the application which would spike up the maintenance cost of the solution. In many cases technical support is denied by the service provider if the software solution has become a bit outdated so it becomes difficult to keep the show running without such technical supports.

Task 14: Implementation IssuesBriefly list some of the environmental or cultural aspects to changes in the workplace that you might need to take into account when implementing your project. Since my project is a construction project hence it would definitely have some environmental impact, we will have to clean the project site of all the debris and jungle to make it worthy of the work that would involve felling of trees which might raise a question among the nearby residents of that area but at the same time we would also need to explain them that we are going to construct a medical centre at this spot and this will be of great help for the senior citizens especially since this would the first medical centre of its kind that is going to come up at this place. So these are the environmental and cultural aspects that we need to take into account while implementing this project. Task 15: Software audit Make a list of all the software on your computer, and include the following information: 1. Name of the software application 2. Licence type and licence number (if you have access to it) 3. Software version 4. Whether you use the software frequently (Yes or No) 5. Rank the importance of the software, ie which software is most crucial to my job role/study? Use numbers with ‘1’ being the most important, and the larger numbers less important. If you have installed a suite of products, list the individual applications. For example, if you have installed Office 2010, then list Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc, individually.

Summarize in a paragraph why databases using client–server technology may improve performance of data access across a wide area network.
Databases using client server technology are very important to improve the performance of data access across a wide area of network because it helps to centralize the various control functions like access, resources and data integration ensuring their safety so that no unauthorized program can harm it. Also it helps to improve the capacity of the servers and the clients respectively and finally it is very user friendly and has a very simple maintenance mechanism for any users to follow.
How could you test that a database allows appropriate multi user access? What sort of test processes would you want to consider?
In order to conduct a database test we are going to need sandboxes or test databases to work for. We will have to put the database into a known state before running any such texts then we will need to use a database regression tool to run the test and finally we need to check the results to see whether it tallies with our expectations or not.
The test processes that I would like to consider is mentioned below:
What are the major tasks involved in requirement elicitation process? What are the factors to be considered to select elicitation techniques?

Explain importance of evaluating requirements alignment with Business Case and Opportunity Cost
The stakeholders’ requirements are those requirements that are collected from stakeholders like business units, operations teams, customers, users, communities and subject matter specialists. They are very closely aligned to business case since the business case criteria like cost reduction, revenue maximization, process standardization and rise in productivity are the prime requirements of stakeholders and opportunity cost is also very vital for requirements validation because opportunity cost is the loss of profit that arises out of selecting one alternative decision over the other that in turn will affect business case criteria as well.
