...the Gujarat High Court is located in the city. The population of the city is more than 5.8 million and has population of 6.3 million; it is said to be the fifth largest city and seventh largest metropolitan city of India. It was ranked third in Forbes' list of fastest growing cities of the decade. Ahmedabad is located on the banks of the River Sabarmati, 30 km (19 mi) from the state capital Gandhinagar. Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission is a major city- revitalization program, which was launched by Government of India under the Ministry of Urban Development. This policy has been named after Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India. It was launched with a total outlay of Rs 100,000 crore aiming at strengthening infrastructure and the overall quality of life in 63 shortlisted cities in the mission document. It has been stated that cities are the inspiration for economic prosperity. Since Independence, India has been in the process of changing its outlook from being an agrarian society to an industrialized society. Around 60% of population of India resides in rural villages but still the country is on the run of urbanization. In this race, the rural areas got side-lined and also with adverse weather conditions the agricultural production got dried. This led to migration of rural people from villages to urban cities, in search of employment. Since these people were mere farmers and didn’t possess any skills, couldn’t find suitable job to sustain themselves...

...ON ERP Implementation-Procedures, Issues, Challenges & Failures Introduction An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is an integrated computer-based application used to manage internal and external resources, including tangible assets, financial resources, materials, and human resources. Its purpose is to facilitate the flow of information between all business functions inside the boundaries of the organization and manage the connections to outside stakeholders. Built on a centralized database and normally utilizing a common computing platform, ERP systems consolidate all business operations into a uniform and enterprise-wide system environment. An ERP system can either reside on a centralized server or be distributed across modular hardware and software units that provide "services" and communicate on a local area network. The distributed design allows a business to assemble modules from different vendors without the need for the placement of multiple copies of complex and expensive computer systems in areas which will not use their full capacity. To be considered an ERP system, a software package should have the following traits: ➢ Should be integrated and operate in real time with no periodic batch updates. ➢ All applications should access one database to prevent redundant data and multiple data definitions. ➢ All modules should have the same look and feel. ➢ Users should be able to access any information in the system without...

...Systems Development Life Cycle The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is the overall process for developing information systems from planning and analysis through implementation and maintenance. The SDLC is the foundation for all systems development methodologies and there are literally hundreds of different activities associated with each phase in the SDLC. Typical activities include determining budgets, gathering system requirements, and writing detailed user documentation. The activities performed during each systems development project will vary. The SDLC begins with a business need, followed by an assessment of the functions a system must have to satisfy the need, and ends when the benefits of the system no longer outweigh its maintenance costs. This is why it is referred to as a ‘lifecycle’. The SDLC is comprised of seven distinct phases: planning, analysis, design, development, testing, implementation, and maintenance. This section takes a detailed look at a few of the more common activities performed during the phases of the systems development life cycle along with common issues facing software development projects (see Figure D.1 and Figure D.2 ). Phase 1: Planning The planning phase involves establishing a high-level plan of the intended project and determining project goals. Planning is the first and most critical phase of any systems development effort an organization undertakes, regardless of whether the effort is to develop a system that...

...Subcommittee as it examines the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Trilogy information technology (IT) modernization project. The Trilogy project was designed to upgrade the FBI’s IT infrastructure and replace its antiquated case management system with the Virtual Case File (VCF). Successful implementation of the Trilogy project is essential to modernizing the FBI’s inadequate information technology systems. The FBI’s systems currently do not permit FBI agents, analysts, and managers to readily access and share case-related information throughout the FBI. Without this capability, the FBI cannot perform its critical missions as efficiently and effectively as it should. In March 2004, this Subcommittee held a hearing on the status of the Trilogy project, and I testified about the schedule delays and cost increases of the Trilogy project. At that time, I stated that I was skeptical about the FBI’s proposed schedule to deploy a fully functional, complete version of the VCF before the end of calendar year 2004. Shortly before the hearing, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated a follow-up audit to assess the FBI’s management of the Trilogy project. Today the OIG released the results of this follow-up audit. Our audit found that the FBI successfully has completed the Trilogy IT infrastructure upgrades – albeit with delays and significant cost increases. However, the FBI has failed to complete and deploy the...

...4G LTE Implementation for Mobile Healthcare Units Executive Summary The adoption of LTE from Verizon Wireless will empower the organization to be portable and maintain a fast, reliable, and secure connection among its mobile healthcare professionals. This will save money and allow for greater productivity. Business Problem with Benefits The Business problem that Tim and management have presented is that their business, a healthcare system, has doctors (both clinical and research) spread across western North Carolina and they sometimes do not have adequate infrastructure to transmit their research and clinical data (including data entry applications, medical images, videos, etc.) while in the field. Most of their devices that have been issued to the doctors are newer and they have in the budget to upgrade all devices by end of 2012 but they need to find an adequate connection medium that guarantees speed and portability. Benefits: Faster - More bandwidth using LTE Mobile - More convenience, accessible, and portable. Secure - By using a wireless connection with our existing Virtual Private Network (VPN), we can maximize security. Return on Investment - With this LTE implementation the return on investment would be significantly higher when compared to a wired backbone network. Business Solution with Technical Specifications We plan to use a customized LTE solution that connects mobile devices back to the main infrastructure. In order to do this we plan to use...
