Capstone Project Overview
The objective of the final Capstone Project is to assess your knowledge on the learning objectives for the information technology program. All assignments in this course will build upon one another and provide you with different components for your Capstone Project.
To begin your final Capstone Project, it is necessary to identify a distributed or cloud computing application need within an organization. The organization ought to have at least 1 international vendor, partner, subsidiary, and/or be a multinational firm. The business need for a new application must parallel a problem that necessitates a cloud or global computing infrastructure that will operate in at least 2 different geographical locations.
The final solution will need to incorporate a highly available and scalable solution. The solution will require a graphical user interface, an application, a database, and the underlying computing infrastructure, which minimally includes the hosting servers, storage, and network. Examples could be the analysis and design of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, Supply Chain Management (SCM), or any other system that your organization utilizes. Consult with your instructor if you are uncertain of your Capstone Project selection.
