2. Approving a project
Athletic system is a project designed to be used in Gear International Organization and this system would be developed to track the athletics. It would be developed and incorporated in to the intranet of the organization. Objective of this system is to automate the athletics coordination process and to ease the passage of information to corporate employees. Currently there is no Information System in Gear International to register, determine schedules, post team statistics and other related information therefore the organization has encountered slow registration process, slow statistical information flow, and scanty knowledge on athletic teams.
The system functionalities include: athletics teams view, online registration of corporate employees, scheduling of teams, and posting of team statistics. The entire development of this system will be based on incremental model of software engineering whereby tasks will be broken into subtasks and core product (first increment) will be delivered and subsequent increments are developed basing on review comments of the core product.
3. Patrolling by remote
Use of WI-FI cameras has showed tremendous advancement in business arena. These cameras have been used in supermarkets to solve the problem of shoplifting. Kodak Company is threatened by this technology since it never caught a boat on wireless technology advancement. Use of security sensors has enhanced security in the business premises. These sensors are sensitive to motion and therefore able to detect any movement. In order to distinguish movements, these sensors record both acoustic and vibrations so to avoid false alerts. Critical structures like power plants and communication premises have to be kept safe from terrorism. However, this technology pose a great deal of threat BSIA manufactures who produce security gadgets like CCTV and access control systems. GPS tracking devices have also advanced business arena a great deal. Motor vehicle anti-theft organizations employ this wireless technology to safeguard clients’ vehicles. GPS locators are locked on to vehicles so that they can be located any time theft of the same is reported. Truck owners can also use this tool to track movement of goods on transit and abuse of their trucks. Apple Company, manufacturer of Smartphone is facing stiff market competition for GPS enabled capabilities. Wireless speakers have been known to be most suitable for office presentations, students, house parties, and mothers with young kids. These environments require little or no wired connections. However Sony Company, manufacturer of wired speakers has been threatened by this technology since its products will lose market.
4. Saving falling systems
Another point to be considered is to ensure that the SLDC is followed so that all requirements are met and bugs are eliminated before the system is deployed. System analysis should be thoroughly done and plan be updated due to change in requirements. Agile methodology will flexibly allow this.
