The departments and people expected to ensure the success of the project is the employees, managers, finance department, Information technology department.The following must be achieved for the project to be considered a success.

Acquisition Strategy

Considering that we already have a well equipped IT team that is capable, the system will be built in-house.Purchasing readymade system could be possible but they present a multitude of challenges. One design is used across thus putting it at risk of attacks by unruly individuals who know how the system works. Building a system from scratch is beneficial since the team knows all the details and can make changes whiner needed during operation. It is also cheaper.

Resources

The only key skill required for in-house development is the skills which the IT Team already posses. This is the websites and all that entails the website, technology and computer system. They will be inculpated as development continues. Whenever there are issues that needs to be discussed the IT team will discuss them and come up with solutions that will advance the project in its ground up approach.

Connectivity

Security

Man in the middle attack is the most likely security risk posed.The main reason why this might be an issue is because the system is interconnected and thus intruders can intrude in between protocols that are way beyond us. As a mitigation to this, we adopted double encryption to make it hard for intruders to decipher packets of data.

Mobility

Mobile devices will be in a position to use the system.For security reasons, we will limit the use remotely by these devices. They will be limited to company’s wifi network and once they leave it, they will be disconnected from the system. Only registered users will be allowed to use the system.For security reasons, devices that allow installation must be registered so that they can be allowed access. MAC addresses will be used to identify these devices. None registered devices wont be allowed access.

Summary

I thank the organization for putting my proposed system into consideration. This is a good system to use as it takes into consideration all the weaknesses currently in the system and work on them to ensure optimum benefit by the organization.Changes made are highly beneficial to the company. As the system will be in use, I look forward to making it better and enable the company achieve better results.
