1)Develop an innovative idea and a brief plan for
the automated email system failure.
Points:
 Set up an activities and special events page with descriptions that is
viewed before their checkout page online.
 Have a list of activities and events that will be occurring during their
stay
 This means you have to have scheduled events and activities up to a
certain point
 Now when they checkout they will see this page and can add these
activities or events to their stay for an extra price
 Now if the stay is to far in advance – send them an email saying you will
have activities and special events for your stay soon and when you do
email them back to register for them.
 Sign back in under their registered stay and they can get to the events
page to sign up
 It doesn’t need to be personalized because everyone knows that it is for
the general public who stay here.

Question 2:
 Reread the Microsoft Surface Innovation in Practice
(pg 114) and its related Collaboration Exercise (pg 137).
Describe one innovation application of Surface at your
university. Consider that application from the
standpoint of a systems development project. Develop
a brief plan for this project using the SDLC. List major
tasks that need to be performed at each stage.
 Stephen
We have to identify the system
definition
We need to meet the requirements
analysis
You need to have a component design
You need a implementation
You need to figure out the systems
maintenance
* It would be in the best interest of the
school to make this possible
* Yes there would be mistakes along
the way but in the end the need for
these changes is to think of newer
features and what we really need.

assignment of sheet music to a choir (school
or church)
-Sheet music= expensive> choir members
must take it home to practice> and it doesn’t
all get back to inventory
*Data integrity problems here:
-Sandra Corning and Linda Duong have same
copy of music?
-Mozart and J.S. Bach write Requiem or in
row 15 should J.S. Bach actually be Mozart?
-Too many digits in Eleanor Dixon’s phone #
-Several phone numbers are the same
This spreadsheet is confusing and hard to use
-First name column includes both names of
people and choruses
-Email has both email add and composer
names
-Phone has both phone #s and copy
identifiers

 To record a check out> user must 1st add a new row>
re-enter the name of the week, composers name, and
copy to be checked out
 To find all copies of a particular work> user must
examine the rows in each of the four spreadsheets for
the four voice parts
 Spread sheet= ill suited for this application
 Data bases would be a far better tool
- Process used to develop info systems
- Project managers agreed that basic tasks need to be
performed to successfully build and maintain info
systems
Systems definition= uses managements statement of the system
need to define and plan the new system
Requirements analysis= developers identify the particular features
and functions of the new system.
Component design= the output of phase 2 is a set of approved users
requirements which become the primary input used to design system
components
Implementation= developers implement, test, and install the new
system
System maintenance=over time problems, errors, and mistakes will
occur and new feature changes will have to be made; this phase starts
the process all over again which is why the process is considered a
cycle.
Systems definition> to track the assignment of sheet music to a choir
(school or church)
Requirement analysis> System should contain separate columns for
person’s full name, email, phone #, Part, composer, type of music; it
should allow one to easily type in a person’s info and what sheet music
they checked out, and should have it automatically arrange in a certain
way.
Component design>Determine the specifications of what the database
should include. Create formulas if necessary for inputting new info
Implementation> people should test out the system and see if its
effective and organized well
Systems maintenance> take out anything that adds confusion
#4 the Sundog expeditions collaboration provides river rafting adventures in Idaho, Oregon and
Alaska. Sundog expeditions wants to expand its current its current website to include social
networking. the object of this question is to consider that addition from the standpoint of a system
development project and develop a brief plan for this project using SDLC
 1) System definition- first they would be a team of IS personnel to map out exactly what
the system is suppose to do and the goals of the system. Such as E-Mailing, instant
Messaging, picture posting, etc.
 2) Requirements- this is the most important step in the plan. Sundog must figure out if
they need a Data Model for the new applications that will be put into the social
networking aspect of the website. They will also need forms and reports from the existing
systems to see if they are compatible with the new systems. And last they must seek user
approval before moving on to the next stage of the process.
 3) Component Design- Sundog must take into considering these five aspects when going
over component design; Hardware, program, database, procedure, and design of Job
descriptions.
 4) Implementation- once the design is complete sundog must build, test, and convert
the users of all there social networking applications to the new system. This includes
procedures for using the system to communicate and network with others. the
developers must obtain, install, and test all hardware. this includes procedures for
starting, stopping, and operating the system.
 5) System Maintenance- this just means constantly keeping up to date with the social
networking flaws of the sundog site and fixing them. They will probably also be updating
the site with new features and applications. Furthermore, they must keep up with
requests for enhancements and first priority is to fix the failures of the system.
