This project plan for Jay Grand Productions Inc. is a 3 year plan which is to begin December 2015 and has a projected end date of December 2018. This document will outline the improvements to the current information technology throughout the organization. The need for information, knowledge and collaboration sharing has become very important to the success of this business. Clients, collaborators, artists, and investors are interested in being able to access music files, data, email, and master recordings pertinent to their specific projects.
Programs such as Final Cut, Logic Pro X, and Office 365 (Saas – Software as a Service) are three of the main technologies that we need to implement for information sharing capabilities. These programs are necessary to create music, create the coordinating video files, and communicate via email. The current system is a star topology using an Ethernet connection on a Cat5 cable. All individual nodes are connected via a wireless LAN on a centralized access point; peer-to-peer infrastructure. The current WAN system plan allows for 350 GB of data with 50 Mbps down and 5 Mbps upload speeds.
My recommendation is to increase the amount of data to 700 GB with 100 down and 10 upload speeds. I am also making the recommendation to hire additional IT personnel to assist in implementation, maintenance, ongoing support, and operational needs. It is also my recommendation to change and improve the current infrastructure to ensure information is transmitted and received by all parties to leverage the functions and features of the new services with the use of mobile devices.
Estimated costs and milestones have been provided to the best of our projections and to the extent possible. As the projects, plans, technologies, and the dynamics of the music
