UMUC Haircuts Stage 4: IT Solution and Next Steps

Order Description
A detail document of the assignment instructions are uploaded because of the limited space. The writer must read all the uploaded attachment and not rely on just the blurb used when for creating the order. The writer should make sure that he or she views all uploaded documents. Also all references should be US scholarly references and no older than 5 years old. Also there is a grading rubric prepared by the instructor to inform the writer of the items that should be in the paper.
For this assignment, you will prepare a short paper explaining your proposed IT solution and the next steps in the implementation of that solution. The next steps will include everything that Myra needs to do, from getting a subscription to the software (or otherwise arranging to use it), to purchasing hardware, to preparing employees and implementing the system. The specific steps and how they are accomplished will be different for different system solutions.
Assignment: UMUC Haircuts Stage 4: Write a short paper that includes:
The writer must review the uploaded document titled instructions for STAGE4. This will give him/her all the instructions in entirety due to limited space. The writer should also make sure to view the instructor’s grading rubric and make sure it meets the superior standards.

I. Introduction: Introduce what is to come in your paper, and include the generic strategy for competitive advantage and the business process to be improved. (See upload of previous papers for Particularly Stage 2 Assignment). I have also uploaded the case study for assistance.

II. Proposed IT Solution: Identify the vendor and the system you selected to improve the process at UMUC Haircuts. Explain why you selected that system over others, including how it best meets the business requirements (see Stage 2) and IT requirements (see Stage 3) of UMUC Haircuts. Explain if/how cost was a factor in your selection. ( I have uploaded the instructions from the both the stage 2 and 3 assignments along with the graded papers of the instructors for writer’s assistance)

III. Implementation Steps: Identify and explain the steps Myra will have to take to implement the system you have proposed. Include:

a. Vendor agreement – What does Myra need to do in order to be able to start using the system? How much will it cost to use the system?

What kind of telecommunications will be needed for the solution, including local connectivity inside UMUC Haircuts and Internet access?
