Overview

Rocket Enterprise is an information technologies and services consultancy offering IT solutions to small and medium-sized companies. The company’s current business prospects are bringing in large profit margins, and the management is considering implementing an office automation system to cover their head office.

This is expected to be accomplished within a tight budget of $5,000. Andrews proposes a setup that “includes one server, four workstations, one high-quality printer preferably of laser type, multiple email addresses, basic low security, and internet access and all the necessary auxiliary components (18).

Proposed Configuration

Rocket Enterprise has outsourced this project to Datanet Consultants to implement the office automation system.

Datanet Consultants propose the following requirements to implement the office automation system.

Official site for HP (Hewlett Packard) products and services from where the server and desktops were bought.

The total above indicates an amount that is just $924 from the budgeted amount of $5000.

This is expected to cater for the human resource costs of the project where the project manager rate is $100 per day. The network support specialist will get $ 70 each per day while the employees of Rocket Enterprise will each get $34 per day. The project will take three days to complete.

Installation Plan

Rocket Enterprise is a commercially busy company. The official working days for this company are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. The weekends are closed and public holidays are exemptions also. The office automation and networking process is therefore going to run from Friday 6pm through to Sunday 6pm.

Datanet Consultants will deploy 2 of their network support specialists to carry out the implementation of the project. Rocket Enterprise has two employees who will be deployed to the project team on a part time basis. The requirements specification will be drawn and submitted to Rocket Enterprise management for evaluation and approval.

The presentation will be carried out by the project manager from Datanet Consultants. Once it has been approved, the project manager will draw out the project plan and assign the main tasks to be carried out. Rocket Enterprise will go ahead and purchase the project requirements by Thursday 2pm.

The project manager will contact the employee in charge of procurement to ensure that all that is needed is available. The project manager together with the two network support specialist will do an evaluation of the company on Friday morning to lay out the plan for implementation.

The project requirements will be delivered to the project manager by 2pm on Friday. After Rocket closes on Friday 5pm, the Datanet Consultants team set up the server and the workstations and networking equipment. This process is expected to complete by 8pm on Friday giving way for data conversion and testing. The Datanet team will resume the process on Saturday at 8am. It is expected that the conversion and testing process will run to 3pm Saturday.

The project manager will then allow a link to be established to the internet through the router and firewall. Further testing will be carried out to make sure that everything is going as planned. The Rocket Enterprise employees are finally engaged in the acceptance testing and their reaction to the new system is recorded.

The report is compiled, signed by the employees as the users. This report will be forwarded to the Rocket Enterprise management as an indicator of the project closeout. At exactly 8am Monday the management announces to the staff the new system thereby commissioning its use. The project is officially terminated at 9am Monday as the system begins to work.
