CASE:

You are required to use above diagram, the computer mother-board to build a computer or laptop for a small business client.  You are asked to provide the type of solutions to enable the client effectively run his/her business.  In addition, your solution enable the client to use the computer for e-mail, money management, correspondence, and contact management. The computer will come with the Windows XP, Window 7 or latest version operating system or MAC. You need to research, purchase, and install the other applications you will need.

TASK:

1. Research and recommend computer viruses and antivirus software for this client. 

2. What type of word processing would you recommend and why.    

3. What type of presentation tool and why

Grading Rubrics

The course project will consist of two deliverables:

Phase I (Identify potential weaknesses from a Quality Web Design Company); and Phase II: the Course Project (comprised of Phases I and II - Recommend solutions to the potential weaknesses from a Quality Web Design Company).

The grading standards for each deliverable are as follows:

Phase I (Identify potential weaknesses from a Quality Web Design Company)

Includes vendor and major specifications, and identifies the relevant computer component features. If hardware, includes location of placement with diagram. Policy solutions include the complete portion of the policy that effectively address the weakness identified.

Justification

 25

Demonstrates the efficacy of the solution in terms of the identified components. Includes complete costs, including purchase, implementation, training, and maintenance as needed.

Impact on Business Processes

 25

Addresses plausible, potential positive, or negative effects on business processes. Discusses trade-off between security and business requirements using quantitative statements.
