Note: you can start working with your project introduction. As you work with your project through the different units, you may want to review this sections finding opportunities to improve it.

Problem Description

Problem Definition (Unit 1 Assignment)

I copied below the content that you submitted for Unit 1 Assignment (see below). In this class, I ask students to start working with the paper template document so they can start working with main draft. In general, you should avoid using first person. You can use “we” instead of “I.”

I noticed that you haven’t added support to your statements – APA in-text citations / References. You should list a minimum of two/three different references per each paragraph that you work.

Problem.

The problem with ABC packaging solutions is the company bought out a couple other smaller companies that each use their own ticketing system software. The goal is to establish a new single software for the company to use as a whole.

Please, provide some background of the needs of a ticketing system by organizations. Furthermore, you can provide some information of the ticketing systems that all smaller companies are using.

Organization.

The company I will be implementing this for is a fictional company named ABC packaging solutions. ABC packaging is a pre-established company essentially will be expanding to 1000 employees.

Opportunties to add references and add content to this page will relate to adding information related to packaging solutions type of businesses including operations, structure, personel, and so on.

Outcomes

The desired outcome will be a single ticketing system that any user can access with helpdesk request. The system will have a simple user interface and will auto assign the request to the appropriate department within IT. Tickets will be able to have level of urgency assigned.

You need to define what a ticket system is. Also, the solution that you are providing should be deployed under a high availability clustering solution using a Microsofot Windows Server or Linux operating systems. The reason of the high availability is that the organization and stakeholders won’t be affected if the system is down. Please, introduce concepts related to high availability as you should expande it in the Technology solution section.

Technology Solution (Unit 1 Assignment)

Because information technology departments have a high volume of request, ABC packaging solutions must implement a centralized system that can handle these incidents. The proposed solution includes the research of at least three ticketing software services that the company would potentially use. The tickets will be contain IT related issues submitted from every department and then distributed to the appropriate section to resolve these issues. Each ticketing system will be installed on a virtual machine with a demonstration of how it works. The goal is to have several solutions that can be considered for their pros and cons. The ticketing system will need the following in order for the company to consider stream lining it as their main software:

Can it be easily accessed and understood by end client users?

Can the tickets be separated into different sections within the department? For example, helpdesk, Networking, Information assurance, Applications.

Is it cost effective? Does it need a subscription or will it be a one time purchase?

Can you apply different levels of urgency depending on the user it is affecting?

Is the system secure? This will be a top priority as tickets could contain sensitive information.

Can it be accessed 24/7? IT is a full time operation the needs to be handled at all hours of the day. The system needs to be fully functional through all of this .

You need to briefly introduce the three ticketing systems that you selected for your project. The introductions should include the IT environment required for these systems.
