Every software development environment is unique. So, every environment should rely on a
distinct set of tools which are suited to that particular scenario. Whenever the word ‘system’
is used, it is automatically assumed that the talk is about combination of hardware and
software or a computer. So the systems in an organization should be adequate to meet the
requirements of both the employees and the software that will be used on them. Meeting
barely the minimum requirements usually don’t work and programmers are always asking for
a more beefy system. So, purchasing new systems for an organization should be thought of an
investment which will pay off in the long run because having cutting edge systems now means
fewer upgrades down the road. But this investment should be made carefully, as it doesn’t
matter how powerful the system is now, the technology is going to be ancient in matter of 1-2
years. Moore’s law still holds true and computer systems are becoming tremendously powerful
every passing day.
DISCUSSION
For a medium organization with about ten employees there will be a need of about
15 computers and 4 servers. All the systems will be installed with Windows 7 as it is currently
the most stable version of Windows and is being maintained by Microsoft. We have to use
and develop in Windows because 90% of our target market uses the same product. An Office
product, Microsoft Office 2010 Enterprise will also be used, which also includes several
productivity tools i.e. OneNote, etc. The employees will use Visual Studio 2010 Team Suite
to develop projects. “Microsoft Exchange” will be used as a medium of mail server to help
collaborate the employees. Also, Microsoft NetMee...

It has come to my attention that the functionality of my computer system is quite limited for the company’s day-to-day actions. It gives me great honor to propose, a new set of systems that will replace the dated systems that I currently use to complete my job. I am confident that these machines will allow me to think of new creative, ideas that will create new innovative marketing strategies for the company.
This phase is the main focus of the project managers and stake holders. Meetings with managers, stake holders and users are held in order to determine the requirements like; Who is going to use the system? How will they use the system? What data should be input into the system? What data should be output by the system? These are general questions that get answered during a requirements gathering phase. After requirement gathering these requirements are analyzed for their validity and the possibility of incorporating the requirements in the system to be development is also studied.
The team implementing the new system were required to do both functional and systematic requirements thus affecting the implementation of the new system
Since the business computing market is projected to triple within the coming decade, we have decided to capitalize on this trend by conveying the same easy-to-use hardware which made our personal computers an industry staple into this expanding market. To deliver this new line of computers to the market, we plan on dedicating 25% of our production efforts to this new enterprise while we will continue to produce our existing personal computers. This is will allow us enough capital to invest in the manufacturing and marketing of these computers as this undertaking is to be the largest in company history. We plan to have these computers on the market within a year from now after conducting marketing research, product development, manufacturing and product rollout, will require roughly 3-4 months each to carry out. In addition, we plan on marketing these computers to our existing clientele base, by offering our new computers at a discounted price and to smaller, family-owned businesses who may lack the financial resources to afford higher-end versions from our competition. Doing so will allow us to slowly expand our business-to-business sales division as we delve further into this market and our clientele begins to expand through word of mouth from our existing base. After the launch of these computers, we plan

To build a good and stable network is extremely difficult. It takes a team of very knowledgeable engineers to put together a system that will provide the best service and will forfill the need for the companies users and clients. There are many issues that have to be resolved and many choices have to be made. The toughest choices IT managers have to make, are what will be the best server platform for their environment. Many questions must be answered. Which server software offers complete functionality, with easy installation and management? Which one provides the highest value for the cost? What kind of support and performance can be expected from this system? And most important of all is what is more secure? In this paper, Microsoft Windows NT Server is compared to UNIX, in the large commercial environment. The main focus of the comparison is on the areas of, reliability, compatibility, administration performance and security.
