Project Plan: Moore’s Law and Software/Hardware

Project Plan: Moore’s Law and Software/Hardware

Revisit your initial ideas about an organization for which you’ll be developing or converting to include information systems.

Hardware/Software Requirements

1. After this week’s readings on hardware and software, determine the kinds of hardware you think you’ll need to get meet project requirements.

2. Is this a single-user or multi-user system? Explain.

3. Research, if necessary, to help justify your choices and arrive at an estimate of what these items may cost. Again, you’ll get the chance to revise this information as you learn more and perhaps adjust your initial ideas but try to keep the totals realistic based on your current understanding.

Competition

4. Also, explore Moore’s law in the Week 3 videos. Moore’s Law essentially proposes that technological changes will occur on average every 2 years. These changes can create advantages for companies that have the means to implement them quickly, thus creating greater competition. Investigate the probability that your business will have significant competition in the next 18 months.

5. Does competition exist now and how will you make your product or service stand out?
