Hi there!Would you wanna give me some advise on this? Thanks!

Wrf Inc. trades in dynamic environment where it is essential that
information is presented quickly and clearly to its staff. The information
can come from the company's database or from other staff members.
Significant processing of the information is also required on each
individual's personal computer (PC) before effective decision can be made.

Wrf Inc. intends to upgrade its computer system to improve speed and
clarity of information. Each member of staff will have a PC linked to a
local area network (LAN). Each PC will run on Windows 3.1 and a
word-processor and a spreadsheet on its local hard disk. The network will
be used for centralised back-up, access to a central database and storage
of data files. The LAN will also be used for communication within the
office by E-mail. The Systems analyst in charge of the project thinks that
users will require 386 processor running at 20 megahertz with two megabytes
of RAM. The network will incoporate a central server file server and run at
a low baud rate. he is pleased that the system will cost only about $6000
per user. The system analyst is on fixed-term contract, which terminates
when the system installation is complete.

Users have broadly welcomed the move,although they have not been formally
told about the systems change. The requistioning departments of WRF Inf.has
now questioned the order for the computer hardware and software because of
the lack of authorisation from the board.

Tasks :
You are required to write a report ( of about 15000 to 2000 words long ) to
the Board, briefly explaining the system development life cycle (SDCL), and
explaining why it is prefered to the situation outlined above as a means of
providing a systems changeover for WRF Inc.

In assesing this piece of assignment, marks will be allocated for the
application of knowledge to the case situation and the skills in
communication, analysis, evalution and creativity.

** Duration : 2 weeks

Rgds,
chin eng
