OPTION #1: CUSTOMER SERVICE INFORMATION SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION OPTIONS

The CIO of the company has asked you as IS Manager to investigate the implementation of a new information system dealing with the handling of customer service. The CIO hands you a very good and extensive list of User Requirements that has been designed through a long analysis process developed with the user areas and asks you to analyze and recommend one of the following implementation options:

  1. SaaS (cloud based, multi-tenant)
  2. Acquire a packaged, ready-made system from a vendor
  3. Develop the system internally with your own resources
  4. Any other implementation options.

You should write a report where the noted options are briefly described and analyzed, with a good list of advantages and disadvantages, and then include your well-detailed recommendation for implementation. The paper should have at least 900 words and have the following section subtitles (plus proper introduction and conclusion paragraphs):

  • Summary of the proposal
  • SaaS Option
  • Packaged System Option
  • Internal Development Option
  • Other option(s) if you decide to include them
  • Recommendation.

Include a title page and reference page. Make sure your paper follows APA style according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
