Overview
Recall the three stages of the project:
Phase 1: Introduction, problem statement, feasibility study, and project plan
Phase 2: Methodology to compare the old and new systems and the systems analysis
Phase 3: Results of comparison of the old and new systems and the systems design
In Phase 3 you will use the methodology developed in Phase 2 to compare the old information system analysis and design to the new information system that is cloud-capable, highly available, scalable, and secure. You will use the scholarly supported computing framework and standards (e.g. ANSI, COBIT, ISO, ITU, NIST, HIPAA, PCI) to benchmark the systems analysis and design of the old and new system. Once you perform this comparison, you will detail the results.
