You will submit your system design via a Word document.
The system design will include visual presentations of each of the following: modeling for specifications, data design, and user interface design. Each of the diagrams will visually represent your design.
The system design additionally will include each explanation and supporting detail of the system design execution, in a complete and comprehensive write up.
These are sections systems architecture and feasibility analysis. Your audience is IT management and the IT project team. References for Review For a template reference, review your textbook, Systems Analysis and Design, page 74. ?

? Use the example templates to develop your deliverable. Ensure you cover the specifics outlined in the Final Project Document. Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
III. Systems Design: Propose a solution that addresses the identified problem in your case. Be sure to include screenshots of all relevant diagrams, charts, and tables.
a) Specifications: Provide a physical design that will meet the specifications outlined in the systems requirement document.
b) Data Design: Create entity relationship diagrams that accurately describe the proposed solution, including 3NF table designs.
c) User Interface Design: Illustrate the user interface design. Specifically, be sure to address your proposed human computer interactions (HCIs) and graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Your proposals should follow user-centered design principles and address all design requirements.
d) System Architecture: Describe the system architecture. Specifically, be sure to address the corporate organization and culture, enterprise resource planning, total cost of ownership, scalability, integration and interface requirements, and security.
e) Feasibility Analysis: Provide supporting details that justify why your proposed solution is appropriate for solving the problem. In your defense, be sure to address operational, technical, economic, and scheduling feasibility.
System Design should be based on proposal below: My business case proposal is based on New Wellness Group. New Century Wellness Group offers a holistic approach to health care with an emphasis on preventive medicine as well as traditional medical care. The company was founded ten years ago by medicine specialists Timothy Jones and Dolores Garcia.
New Century Wellness Group does not currently have any competition, there are currently no other companies offering the same range of services. They have over 20 staff members and a client base of 8,000 patients from 325 employers. New Century Wellness Group currently only has one location but is looking into expanding close to a new medical center (Rosenblatt, H. J., & Cashman, T. J., 2014).
The current office staff is no longer able to handle the workload due to the increased amount of business. This means that all departments in the company should be considered to alleviate some of their workload.
Staff members working in all aspects of the clinic's operations, including payr oll, tax reporting, patient records and insurance will be considered during the development of the new system proposal. Since none of the members on their team has experience with computers, Anita who has been working with New Century Wellness Group since it as established, has suggested to hire additional office staff because she does not think the current office staff can handle the workload.
However, Doctor Jones did not agree with hiring more office staff, instead he suggested hiring a systems analyst who will analyze and offer solutions to their business needs. After having a staff meeting, Doctor Jones and Doctor Garcia concluded that their practice needs an advanced information system to support its business and health information management needs.
Their current system uses paper-based and legacy systems, which would be replaced by the new information system. The current paper-based system is outdated and prone to disorganization. New Century Wellness Group is looking for an information system that will BUSSINESS CASE PROPOSAL 3 improve its current operations and that will also allow for future growth.
A modern electronic system that would allow faster order times for patient request, easier organization and retrieval of information, and a better way to track the health of their patients. The business operations of New Century Wellness Group appear to be common of a clinic of this size.
However, there is not enough information to reach a conclusion about the budget provided for this project, but it is evident that the staff is growing workload, which can result in hiring new staff members and increase labor costs. The audience for this system proposal are Doctor Jones, Doctor Garcia and their office staff. The new system would affect everyone working for New Century Wellness Group, specifically the following departments; Human Resources, Medical Records, Accounting, Billing and Appointments. However, many of the members of each departmen t have been working for the company for many years and are used to their current system, so it is very important that the new system does not affect their work negatively.
Furthermore, more information needs to be obtained about the current office systems and the limitations of the proposed system. This information is essential, especially when implementing a new system that will affect many aspects of the way the clinic operates. In order to communicate the information of my proposal to the office staff, I will first gather information from each staff member to understand their level of technology literacy.
Addressing my target audience based on this research will allow me to develop a strategy that will help to better communicate. Secondly, I will determine the medium through which the office staff prefers to communicate, wether it is a presentation, e-mail or a printed presentation. Knowing my audience will help me to understand their specific needs and not just the messa ge that I want to convey.
Below is the template referenced above: The format of a preliminary investigation report varies from one company to another. A typical report might consist of the following sections:
. Introduction - the first section is an overview of the report. The introduction contains a brief description of the system, the name of the person or group who performed the investigation, and the name of the person or group who initiated the investigation.
. Systems Request Summary - the summary describes the basis of the systems request.
. Findings - the findings section contains the results of your preliminary investigation, including a description of the project's scope, constraints, and feasibility.
. Case for Action - a summary of the project request and a specific recommendation. Management will make the final decision, but the IT department's input is an important factor.

Project Roles - this section lists the people who will participate in the project, and describes each person's role.
. Time and Cost Estimates - this section describes the cost of acquiring and installing the system, and the total cost of ownership during the system's useful life. Intangible costs also should be noted.
. Expected Benefits - this section includes anticipated tangible and intangible benefits and a timetable that shows when they are to occur.
. Appendix - an appendix is included in the report if you need to attach supporting information. For example, you might list the interviews you conducted, the documentation you reviewed, and other sources for the information you obtained.
