Executive Summary

Network under a set of confined region is known as Intranet. It uses an IP protocol and IP-based tools like the file transfer application and web browsers that is provided by the server to only assigned IP address. Computer network communication is an important installation in a contemporary organization organisation. As the organization's service provision is improved through the reliable communication, its competition with related firms is enhanced and, therefore, valued competence. Ultimate network design as a mode of flow of information among employees and stakeholders in promotes coordination in the management, team work and services the business offer. This automatically improves the performance of the organisation at the good will of all workers.

It should be noted that an organisation's communication systems alone holds a large percentage in its performance that it should not be compromised, even on the slightest default. This would mean that the organisation would require an Information System that when a default occurs at any single point in the connection system, it would be easier to detect and reach that point as soon as possible. The design should be design with backbone network so temporally technical problem with not upset the performance of network communication. This is more appropriate in big organisations to maintain their data and communication confidentiality, integrity and accessibility. In networking design approach, the choice of device should be intelligently selected for the desired function, this will enhance performance in terms of managing security, traffic, errors in storage and transmitting information.

Documents and programs that are sensitive are run through LAN security domain system to create passwords for their protection against cybercrimes. The protected file would then be accessed by authorised personnel only. This would be an important idea where security of flowing information is paramount. Each set of the employee has got a privilege to prevent the access of any restricted file in the company.

Mission/ Purpose

Based on customer’s statistical report, we are designing network that will provide faster, with increased security assurance and 24/7 direct online support platform.

Project

Description and Project Product

It is assured to increase online communication and coordination between sales services and customers.

Optimize the customer choice to online shopping.

Additional capacity with be added to the design to align the company’s current market demand.

Rejuvenating company network infrastructure, plan and trend through the network design. Incorporating additional features and the new branches that are currently established.

Objectives

Increase sales through the utilizing the speed of the network. use

Business Need

Since customers are the main financial sponsors of the company, and by popular request, we intend to recreate the website to meet the following criteria:

· Mobile friendly

· Enhance information security

· Add new functionality

· Improve usability

· Keep up to date and shake things

Milestones

Network is expected to be mobile friendly i.e. with Wi-Fi capabilities

By 11/30/15 midway of the project is evaluated according to standard.

Last revision date by 12/07/15

User Acceptance Criteria

User friendly and security assurance network structure is the minimum success criteria as defined by the key stakeholders. Contractors and customers will be in charge of testing and evaluating the quality network and feedback will be collected through employees and document report from contractors.

High-Level Project Assumptions

It is anticipated that similar project will be taken in about eight years’ time, since vulnerability of network increase with time, and technology will keep changing, preference will keep changing based on factors like the economy, climate or influence from our competitors market strategy. The network design will create feasible working environment.

High-Level Project Constraints

Creating perfect network communication structure to suit both customer and business needs.

Providing fraud free network, customers are expect to create online account with sensitive information such as social security number, credit card and address. Project must be completed on time to avoid exceeding budget.

Exclusions and Boundaries

Creating perfect network environment to suit both customer and business needs.

Software interface is limited to be compatible to existing hardware.

Project must be completed at most not more than a week after stipulated deadline.

Budget must not increase more than 5% of the stipulated budget.

Network technical support unit will be decentralized to accommodate influx calls that will expected from employees who may encounter technical problem. Feedback from users should use during in the designing process.

Major Risks

Provide a written description of software process and hard process.

Regular technical review to ensure that design meets standards.

Budget is expected to rise if design do not meet specification and thee the need to fix flaws.

Experts are required to answer question about the tools used in design.

Establishing a procedure for tracking and reviewing contractors

Documentation is required for all formal, informal procedure and deliverables. Availability of testing tool.

Statement of Work—Project Description and

Project Product

The project intends to design easy to use network design that will accommodate shareholder demand and leverage the company on competitive edge against its rival.

Specification of the network is based on collective inquiry, user’s feedback and sponsors request, and the priority is meet the national regulation standard.

Scrum agile method approach will be employ in this design development project, this will allow the product use by the development team, while in design is in process, so that feedback will be used to make correction on inherent and apparent weakness that will be detected at the early stage..

The project team will be group in three, the developers, the testers and the users. The user group will consist of shareholders and designated team professional. Strong chain of feedback mechanism will be establish between users and the developers to report any fault at the early development stage. However early glitch may also be detected at the testing level and reported to the developers.

Project Deliverables

Network design will be will have about 500sqft Wi-Fi capability, encryption tool for the protection of sensitive’s information of inputs made by client when hosting on the network. Users will be authenticated. .

Project Objectives

The Objectives is to design company’s network to incorporate additional features and also correct inherent apparent weakness that have been reported on major cases by shareholders. It is also intended to give competitive advantage over business rivals. Project is schedule to complete in three commencing from 09/09/15 to 12/15/15.

50% of the total budget will be disbursed for the comment of the project and the remaining 50% will be disbursed at the midway of the project. Provision of 5% increase of the original budget is made available in the budget coffers to accommodate anticipated increase project cost.

However, with the introduction of improved working tools, project is expected to compete within budget.

Project Assumptions

Work space will be required to accommodate all working station (i.e. developers, testers and users team station) and team members.

Project is likely to take longer than will be expected since the sponsors are part of the design process with direct influence on the project, sponsors preference might keep changing.

In addition to the testers and the users who may report design flaws ,experts or outsourced team may be required to independently assess performance, evaluate and test network, feedback may be employ to make to make required changes when the need arise to extend service or employ feedback from auditors to make any changes.

Other opportunities may be consider to affect design during process if it will give competitive advantage over business rivals.

Project Constraints

Over security is concern like authentication process may discourage and prolong access to network facility .Project cascaded team and process may slow work. Project design needs dedicated and reliable server, free from threat and can host all team members time. Daily project routine needs to be documented and review by head of project before going to the next step, the procedure sometimes slow down development process. Team are expected to have long meeting with legal advisor before of the work begins.

Exclusions

Based on available spaces and tools, only 8 members are required to the task.

Acceptance Criteria

The network must operational or compatible to the major internet devices protocols.
