Annette Jackson owns a small crafts store in central Missouri. She wants to expand her store’s reach outside the region to increase her profits and simultaneously reduce her inventory. Annette’s teenage daughter suggested that she consider selling online to expand her total sales. She asked you to help her estimate how much it might cost in the first year to create a simple store with a catalog of about 100 items. Annette wants you to investigate two CSP offerings and report back to her what you find. Because her store is small, limit your research to basic commerce and mall-style services. Annette would like to consider the following information for the two CSP offerings you examine:

NOTE: Please Choose any 4 item form the following list and discuss them ( DISCUSS ONLY 4)

• Costs: initial setup fee, monthly fee, and transaction fees

• Amount of disk space the CSP would provide for Annette’s 100-item store

• Promotion and marketing opportunities

• Customer communications capabilities, such as automated e-mail confirmation of orders

• Shopping cart or other order entry mechanism

• Storefront-building wizards for creating a new store

• Upload capabilities for product names, descriptions, images, and costs (Can they be uploaded from files or databases, or must the merchant enter each item individually?)

• Existence of an online user manual for the merchant

Use your favorite search engine to find CSPs that might meet Annette’s needs. Produce a report of about 400 words summarizing your findings.

Assignment Content

1. Important note: You must complete the Select a Business Plan assignment and get approval from your instructor for a business scenario before you begin this assignment.

   The purpose of the project proposal is to describe a project (i.e., to describe how to automate or improve the automation of a specific business process) and then to explain how completing the project will positively affect the business.

   Once a project proposal is accepted, project work can begin; therefore, a successful project proposal must include all of the information necessary for stakeholders to make a go/no-go decision, including a statement of scope, a list of the benefits you expect the proposed project to provide, and a rough estimate of how long it will take and how much it will cost to complete the project.

   For this assignment, you will create a 3- to 4-page project proposal for the business scenario you selected earlier this week and that was approved by your instructor. For your project proposal, be sure to:

   • Complete the Project Proposal Template based on the business scenario you selected (and that was approved by your instructor) earlier this week. If you prefer, you may re-create the template using another software application of your choice, such as Microsoft Excel®.
   • Develop a project definition and scope that defines the project and articulates the business context for the project.
   • Identify problems that the proposed system is expected to solve (or opportunities the proposed project is expected to produce).
   • Create project objectives.
   • Create the project methodology or game plan.
   • Compile a high-level schedule for completing the project scope.
   • Refer to this week’s learning activities for help creating your project proposal.

     Submit your assignment.
