Technology Project Plan

In the Business Requirements Analysis the first steps were taken to develop the web sites and online functionalities for Binkington Industries. This included implementing a web site with catalog sales functions, customer service tools, and the development of online advertising tools. The use cases identified the importance of these tools, and the steps to get the site created and functional. 

The following includes the roles that several elements will play within the use cases. This includes database roles, programming, and networks. As well as an analysis of security and business risks involved with the proposed solutions. Tools of projected financial plans and metrics will help to support decisions. 

Databases 

"A database is a collection of data that is organized so that its contents can easily be accessed, managed and updated. The most prevalent type of database is the relational database, a tabular database in which data is defined so that it can be reorganized and accessed in a number of different ways. A distributed database is one that can be dispersed or replicated among different points in a network." (www.lanyon.com) 

A database will be the first tool implemented in the effort to get Binkington Industries into the market and on the Web. The company product inventory and all customer order information will be included on a database that will provide the customers and any employees with an easily accessible information tool. Inventory levels will stay current and accessible, or a customer would be able to track how their order is being shipped at where it is at in the process. 

Fortunately, the database would also provide substantial insights into what products are selling best, how efficient the ordering process is and how quickly customers are receiving orders. This type of data would provide credible information for use in future product, process or service project plans; as well as information that can be used to keep on top of issues or make changes to the current business model.
