...Unit 3 Assignment Kerry Bridges Kaplan University IT460 Unit 3 Assignment ITEM 1 – INTERVIEW PROCESS: 1. Determine the people to interview To obtain the information I am looking for, I will need to interview key members of the organization. These members will need to be knowledgeable of their respective positions. I believe it would be best to talk to the department heads and their middle managers. I will also interview people on all levels in the organization. I will also interview multiple people in the same department. My reasoning for this is that everyone has their own strengths and specializations. 2. Established the interview objectives After determining the people to interview, I will establish the interview objectives for the session. I will determine the main topics to be discussed and come up with a list of questions and concerns. I aim to obtain ideas, suggestions, and opinions during the interviews. There will general questions asked to every person in their field. By establishing the objectives I will create the guidelines that will help to determine what questions are needed to ask. These guidelines will also determine how the interview will flow. 3. Develop Interview Questions I will create a baseline for the list of question.

I want to make sure that the questions are both open-ended...

...Unit 2 Assignment Kaplan University IT460 – System Analysis and Design Part 1: Intranet and Competition Jesse, I was able to get into the intranet and got a chance to explore some of the information you’ve made available. In the data section I found a summary of the company’s organization, the training calendar, a script for a typical JAD session, and some sample documents. I also looked through the company forms such as our Service Request, Report Analysis, and Documentation forms. Finally I looked through the resources library which seems to contain the tools and vendors that the company uses. I can see how this will be an invaluable tool for my work here. As you requested I found three other IT consulting firms that may be of interest. The first I looked at is ClearPointe, who primarily focuses on Microsoft System Center and NOC services. They provide managed services for systems such as Active Directory, Exchange, and Lync. The next company I found is Complete Computing. They provide managed Microsoft services like ClearePoint, but also have a strong training and support side. The last company I looked at is Cireson. They focus on System Center and automation consulting. All three companies focus heavily on Microsoft systems, with Complete Computing seeming to be the most well rounded in their service offerings. Thanks, Kyle Part 2: TIMS Scope The Training Information Management System (TIMS) will be an online system to facilitate online courses. It will need...
