It has always been company policy to overstock so that when a retail chain, an exporter or some other business partner places an order, it can be dispatched immediately. Now, based on an analysis performed, management has decided to market and sell filing cabinets using the web. The intention is to enter the e-business and business-to-business market. A central database will be needed to record order, shipping and payment transactions.1. In determining the kind of computer hardware to purchase for StrongaBuilt, what do you think are the main criteria the management of the company should use?2. What kind of computer systems do you think StrongaBuilt should acquire in order to effectively support its operation? Why? What are the possible risks associated with the identified hardware?3. Assume that the company is determined to purchase an input device for those working in the production department to enter data directly into the organizations computing network. What kind of input devices would you suggest to the management to buy?Research and identify the vendor, cost and the project risk and prepare a project proposal to the management for approval. The project proposal should cover the following:        Business requirementsRequired HardwareRequired SoftwareBudget EstimatesSuppliers and Vendors (Include Web Service Providers) The anticipated results of the project.Industry standardsIdentified risks such as technology enhancements.Solution Procedure: This identifies the approach that the team will use to meet the project objectives.

These fixtures are designed and produced for large corporate or government customers. Currently large jobs completed are in response to one-off requests for special estimated time of arrival (ETA) fittings to hold audiovisual equipment (cameras and monitors), trolleys, custom design brackets and filing cabinets.However, a business analysis conducted after two years in operation has recommended that the provision of hardware, software and business processes be standardized nationwide. In the last two years, StrongaBuilt administrative departments and manufacturing sites have been established in Wodonga, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide. These sites implement the existing Sydney operation, which contains the only research department, information systems department and legal department.The managing director, John, has experienced increasing levels of stress associated with decision-making needed to market products, provide consistent quotations for jobs, plan production schedules and monitor inventory. He has created an invoice production system for filing cabinets and a system to analyze the profitability of the production of the various products.As he wants these systems to be used in all the offices, he has decided to standardize computing equipment and software in all the administrative centers. He has obtained some quotes for individual PCs and wants to know which offer is best based on the following considerations: Staff required using standard office desktop applications will be provided with standard computers. Staff required to use large database/spreadsheet requirements and multiple concurrent activities will be provided with enhanced computers. Staff required to utilize graphic-intensive applications will be provided with power computers.
