Business Plan Project
• The objective of this project is to put together a business plan that sets out the strategic direction for a company utilizing information technology.
• The two primary objectives are:– To make realistic projections of opportunities and
risks– To present these in a compelling way that would
attract funding and support from the organization

Options
• Option 1:– Choose your own
• Option 2– One-number dialing solution
• Option 3– Campus transportation network

Option 1: Your own startup idea
• Be creative, use this opportunity to explore an idea you have
• Focus on document you would present to venture capitalist
![Page 6: understanding networked infrastructure](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042613/54903658b47959640d8b50d7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Option 2: One-number voice communication
• You have developed software to integrate all of the voice connections in someone’s life– home phone– work phone– mobile phone– online voice account– Other?
• Each user can set the system to recognize where you are, and one integrated voicemail system consolidates messages in one location.
• Business plan should include– Product release strategy– Target market segments – Potential revenue and costs – Risks – Alternative potential fee structures, and which you anticipate would be
the most attractive

Option 3: Campus Transportation Management System
• You have been assigned by the director of operations for TAPS on campus to run a more cost-effective, efficient bus service.
• You have developed a system where the current combination of city buses and campus transport would be enhanced by– Detailed forecasting of demand as well as – Online response to fluctuations. – (For example,
• this could involve a less structured timetable, and more back-up capacity. • by installing cameras at each bus stop to monitor how many people are
waiting, the manager could send extra buses in response to high demand.
• Create a business plan of – how a program like this could be released, – including the technology requirements and costs. – Pay attention to risks to the existing infrastructure including what
partnerships would need to be entered into.

– An argument for the potential of the product or idea• Business Strategy and Key Milestones
– Plan a timeline over about five years• Marketing Plan
– Who is the intended customer?– How will you convince them to adopt the product?
• Operations Plan– What is needed to pull this off?
• Management and Key Personnel– How many people– How will the organization be structured, and what changes are needed?– Give brief profiles of key individuals

Estimates
• You are not expected to know exact numbers for costs etc. but the estimates should be realistic.
• Use charts and tables wherever appropriate. Venture capitalists and CEO’s do not like to do more work than they have to in evaluating.

Components of Internetworking Infrastructure
• Network– Hardware/software that permit exchange of information
between processing units and organizations
• Processing Systems– Hardware/software providing ability to handle business
transactions
• Facilities– Physical systems that house and protect devices
• Trend: Increasing freedom to manage resources• See table 5.1

New service models
• Physical location of computers less important
• Economies of scale for particular services
• New capabilities must be integrated into existing systems– Deal with legacy technology
• Reliability must improve– See next case!
