• Name the organization and briefly describe what good or service they sell and where they operate.
• Note how they are a differentiator in the market.
• Note the resources used to ensure success in their industry (remember resources are comprised of more than just people).
• Explain what actions the company took to achieve operational excellence.

The above submission should be three pages in length.  Remember the total length does not include the APA approved cover page or the references.  There should be at least three APA approved references to support your work. 

Description of the Company/Case:
 

Dreamz Inc. develops software and learning solutions for clients worldwide. The main office of the organization is located on six floors of a building in Chicago where 100 users occupy each floor. While the first floor houses the corporate office, the other floors house the Administrative, Finance, HR, Engineering, Marketing, IT, and Research departments. All users need e-mail, file and print, and Internet services. To provide these services, the organization has 10 servers that are used as LAN, proxy, and database servers. The users in the finance and HR departments require sufficient bandwidth and access applications from an Oracle server. This server is accessible to users only in the finance and HR departments; these users can also access the server from the Internet. Dreamz Inc. is also connected to the Internet from the same network and has Web and e-mail servers hosted for Internet access. With expanding business, Dreamz Inc. has setup three branch offices in St. Louis, Detroit, and New Jersey. These three branch offices need to be connected to the main office and other branch offices. Another fourth office at San Francisco comprises a network of five users and requires a single Internet connection.
 

Assignment 2: Final Project: Design LAN and WAN
 

Dreamz Inc. has a branch office in Canberra, Australia. Telnet and a few other delay-sensitive applications run between the offices at Chicago and Canberra. Ensure that the network allows:
•24X7 availability of the network.
•Expansion of the network.
•Deployment of any vendor product and running of any protocol on the network.
Submit the following designs in a presentation or as MS Visio files and the remaining submissions as MS Word documents to the W6: Assignment 2 Dropbox:
•Design a LAN for Dreamz Inc. This will include the topology, transmission media, bandwidth, network devices, network protocol, and a firewall.
•List the information you need to design the network. Mention the reasons for obtaining each piece of information.
•Assess the advantages and disadvantages of the design.
•Design the WAN network for Dreamz Inc. including topology, bandwidth, and the routing protocol.
•Design the Internet connectivity and security for the network.
•Design the network connectivity for the California office to Dreamz Inc.’s private network.
•Design a verification plan for both LAN and WAN for Dreamz Inc. 

You have to derive an Entity Relationship Diagram(ERD), Schema and Understanding(3 page report)  for your Project.

•There will be  a report for this project. 

•Make sure you understand the project completely based on the content taught in the classes

•If you are unsure or confused about something, make sure you clear it then and there. Do NOT assume things on your own and submit your project. It will result in loss of points.

•All components of an ERD have to be indicated(relations/cardinality/tables, Foreign/Primary Key,etc) and be complete. Failure to do so will result in loss of points.

•This has to correspond to your website design, which would be implemented in the later projects

•Please follow the rubric/project document/syllabus/schedule at all times

•Understanding of your Project, meaning what you understood on a whole of the content that has been taught on the lectures about the Project (Entire website design, not just DB), how the system works, how many roles are there and your understanding on them.(2 page Report)

•You would also describe how you plan to include any useful creative additions which you would be using  in the later phases of the project.

Report:

• Make sure you include all necessary explanations for all aspects of the ERD, if needed
• Your understanding of the entire project 
• In your understanding, provide reasons so as to why you have given a particular parameter (one-many relationship, foreign key ; which could be justified in accordance with the described website)
• It is best to justify your reasons/explanations with the help of diagrams
• You can also compare your reasons/supporting diagrams with the design of the main website/Database

A Usability Evaluation examines the way users interact with products and services in order to achieve a goal. Often times, there are measures that are tied to those goals that are quantified. Academic literature has a robust catalog of research on studies that examine various perspectives that explore user attitudes and experiences. Such attitudes and experiences include:

Learnability

Findability 

Satisfaction 

Efficiency 

Memorability 

Effectiveness 

Ease of Use

Error Handling

Remember, usability is not one-dimensional. It is a complex system of properties. That integrates many factors. It is subjective from user to user.

For this assignment, you are asked to explore one of these topics. You are to conduct an analytical research review of the assigned usability category/dimension above.

You should evaluate a single variable in the context of the usability evaluation study cycle. Your paper will include the following:

1. Abstract

2. Title Page

3. Introduction

4. What is a Usability Study

5. How does a usability study include the term you’ve selected (e.g. satisfaction)

6. Literature Review of Term (e.g. detailed review of satisfaction and the various measures)

7. Future Research Topics To Consider

8. Conclusion

Considerations: 

• Must provide a minimum of seven scholarly sources that analyze the term and its meaning
• The paper should be a minimum of 10 pages. This does not include the cover page, abstract, or citations. You must use APA format throughout the entire paper.

 Review the attached article, “How Blockchain is Changing Finance” by Alex Tapscott and Don Tapscott. In 2-3 pages, discuss the article and explain how blockchain has impacted the financial world. What immediate changes have been made? What is yet to come? Is this change a good thing for the profession? Explain. 

• post using technologies such as Kaltura, PowerPoint, or any other tool to explain the concepts learned during the week.
• Minimum of 1 scholarly source

Initial Post Instructions

Excel is such a powerful application and we are barely touching the surface of what it can do during this class. Even so, it can still be considered challenging for a new user. What did you learn this week? What aspects do you consider the most challenging or helpful? How do you think Excel could be used in your personal or professional life? If you already use Excel, how do you use it?
