Project Deliverable 1: Project Plan Inception
Due Week 2 and worth 120 points
This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a project introduction and a project plan. You must
submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file
name according to the section of the assignment it is written for. Additionally, you may create
and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
You are currently the Chief Information Officer (CIO) for an innovative Internet-based company
with gross revenues of more than $35 million dollars per year. During an executive leadership
meeting, you were told that your company will be merging with a multinational company of
equal size and you will be responsible for developing a project plan to strategically integrate all
systems, including databases and infrastructure. The Chief Executive Officer has given you sixty
(60) days to deliver an information technology project plan in anticipation of the company
merger. Your company will be expanding from one (1) floor to three (3) floors within six (6)
months. Since this merger will be bringing two (2) fairly equal-sized companies together under
one roof, the infrastructure must be redesigned to accommodate the increased needs. Your
company currently uses operational systems and relational databases but desires to expand
into data warehousing. All information technology (hardware and software) must be
redesigned to meet organizational needs. The solution should be implemented in either a
hosted solution, on-site solution, or a hybrid model. The CEO is expecting you to integrate
different technologies from different solution providers and incorporate industry best practices
in connection with the development of technological systems. In addition, the CEO is extremely
interested in cloud technologies and virtualization but is leery of security issues; however, the
CEO is sure that you will implement proper security protocols. The company currently consists
of twenty five (25) employees but is expected to increase to sixty five (65) employees when the
merger is complete.
