This week, you will submit the second project, the Desktop Migration Proposal. Using the requirements analysis your manager provided and the Internet research you conducted, submit your recommendation to the assignment folder. As you are writing your recommendation, ensure your analysis and recommendations align with your managers priorities and concerns.

You should carefully document any assumptions made (e.g., how you analyzed the requirement for upgrading monitors, peripherals devices, etc.).

Refer to the for the companys needs (requirements). Your justification should clearly indicate how you bridge the gap between the existing desktop specifications and the new machines you recommend.

How Will My Work Be Evaluated?

For this assignment, you are asked by your manager to research the replacement of 50 aging desktop machines with new laptops. Review the business needs from your manager carefully so that you fully appreciate the requirements you must address in selecting the new laptops.

For example, what is significant about the need for “multiple external monitors”? Ask yourself what it takes to connect a laptop to external monitors. What ports are included on your recommended laptop? What kind of cables are required? Can those ports/cables be used with the external monitors? Does the laptop have sufficient graphics capabilities to drive external displays and if so, how many and at what resolution? Follow this same process for all the business needs.

By documenting your choices and the overall recommendation in an effective background report, you are showing how you use your technical knowledge to convey your ideas to others in a professional setting. Your ability to express your findings using the right mix of technical detail in a business context is an important workplace skill.

The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:

• 1.1.3: Present ideas in a clear, logical order appropriate to the task.
• 1.2.3: Explain specialized terms or concepts to facilitate audience comprehension.
• 1.4.3: Write concise and logical sentences in standard academic English that clarify relationships among concepts and ideas.
• 2.1.2: Describe the context surrounding the issue or problem.
• 2.3.3: Explain inferences and deductions that follow logically from the evidence provided.
• 10.1.3: Define the specifications of required technologies.

let me know if you have any questions

Define the following systems-thinking concepts in your own words: Define systems thinking, providing an example of how this is used in the IT field. Describe collections and how they are distinguished from systems. Define feedback loop, providing an example of how this is used in the IT field. Define stock and flow diagram, providing an example of how this is used in the IT field. Define causal loop diagram, providing an example of how this is used in the IT field. The following scenario describes the system used for fulfilling an online order at Lost Pines Outfitters, a medium-sized outdoor clothing store. Read this scenario and create a basic map of the system using Microsoft Visio. Lost Pines Outfitters (LPO) Online When a customer places an order through LPOs online portal, the order is sent directly to the warehouse, where an associate takes (pulls) the selected items from warehouse shelves. Warehouse associates use a single computer to track incoming orders, locate items in inventory, and pull inventory for fulfillment. Once LPOs warehouse associates have pulled the items from inventory, they manually update the inventory tracking system and the item is sent to the fulfilment department. In the fulfillment department, associates package the items for delivery to customers and assign the shipment a tracking number through the U.S. Postal Service. Once the order has shipped, an associate in LPOs fulfillment department manually checks the tracking information and updates the orders delivery status. Once the customer receives the order, an associate sends a card, thanking them for their purchase and requesting they leave a review of the item and their experience shopping with Lost Pines Outfitters. Once you have mapped this system, you will map relationships contained within the system. First, identify relationships within your system diagram that represent feedback loops, and represent those loops within your model. Then, identify a relationship within the system that could be modeled with a stock and flow or causal loop diagram, and model that diagram in Visio. Compose a brief, 250- to 500-word summary of the given system as well as the interactions and relationships present in the system
