Cite at least two sources in the additional columns in your chart.

CMGT 583 Wk 4 – Sourcing Plan

The strategic sourcing plan is a plan for how you will do business going forward. The sourcing plan can address how to supply resources to staff, your current and future systems, and how you will purchase raw materials or new IT systems.

Develop a high-level IT sourcing plan to guide Phoenix Fine Electronics to adopt enterprise solutions, rather than continuing to operate multiple stand-alone systems. As a guideline, your sourcing plan should be a 3- to 4-page outline or summary.

Include the following in your sourcing plan:

• The current technologies being utilized
• Major issues with that technology
• New technologies to implement as replacements for current technologies
• How it addresses the current issues
• Additional advantages or value added
• Approximate timeframe to implement the technology
• Any dependencies the company does not currently have in order to implement

CMGT 583 Wk 5 – Signature Assignment: SWOT Analysis

Determining when to develop a system in-house or to purchase a COTS system is not always clear. A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis brings the strengths and opportunities to a focus point and highlights the threats and weaknesses so an informed decision can be made. This analysis is often completed by the stakeholders, including the business analyst.

Perform a SWOT analysis of buy versus build for your chosen system using the knowledge gained from the Wk 5 discussion, Purchasing Software Applications. You may use any Microsoft® program to create the SWOT analysis similar to the one featured in Ch. 12 of Information Technology for Management.

Use your SWOT analysis to create a guide for managers at Phoenix Fine Electronics to help determine if the business should build or buy a system. Incorporate feedback from the sourcing plan you created last week and support your guide with at least 2 references. As a guideline, this type of guide should be 4 to 5 pages in length, with written descriptions, charts, and outlines.

Include the following in your guide:

• The various steps needed to purchase or develop a system in-house
• Budget considerations
• Staffing considerations
• Time considerations
• Risks
• A maintenance plan
• References
