1. Describe the problem at IFG as succinctly as you can. Use this description to identify the main stakeholders. 

2. IFG can’t afford the resources to identify, define, cleanse, and validate all of its data. On the other hand, building yet another data mart to address a specific problem worsens the data situation. Propose a solution that will enable IFG to leverage a key business problem/opportunity using their BI tools that does not aggravate their existing data predicament.

XYZ Firm is diverse in its interests, with many different divisions. The chief information officer (CIO) is looking to you for assistance in lowering costs and providing new value-added services to the business. He wants to use the Widget division as a pilot for consuming cloud services. Throughout your 5-week contract with the firm, you will build a methodology that defines an approach for consuming cloud services.

The first step is to socialize the business to the notion of cloud computing. There is a lot of fear of the unknown, and it is going to be up to you to help the business take the first step. The CIO wants your assistance in preparing a proposal that he will share with the executive leadership.

Write a report that details the possible cost savings with adopting cloud-based solutions and the benefits of using cloud services. Research at least 2 cloud-based providers, and select 1 the following service lines as the basis of your analysis:

Human Resources

Supply Chain

General Office Function (such as e-mail and collaboration tools) 

Your analysis should also give consideration to the following topics for the 2 providers you selected in comparison to an on-premise type of deployment:

Speed of deployment

Costs (when possible)

Service offerings

Elastic scaling

Vendor lock-in

Finally, identify the cloud type that might be most appropriate for the service line you selected out of the following:

Public

Private

Community

Hybrid

You may use the following sample as a guide for any cost analysis you wish to consider. The table represents some sample costs that a firm may incur for hosting an on-premise solution to support a business service. The table contains sample cost allocations for IT hosting an on-premise business service.

Asset Expenditure One-Time Cost Annual Expenses Recurring costs (every 4 years)

Hardware 20,000

Software License 5,000

Hardware Maintenance 4,000

Software License 1,000

Administrator Support 10,000

Developer Support 10,000

Facilities Costs 3,000

Software/System Upgrades 4,000

For this assignment, you need to write a paper (min 3 pages or longer) that is on any topic related to bioinformatics, computational biology, systems biology, biomedical engineering, etc. The paper has to have original material and cannot be copied. You cannot copy text and cannot copy figures.  If you are seen copying text or figures from other papers, you will be penalized.  Instead your paper should have figures showing a protein’s primary structure (protein sequence), secondary structure (3D ribbon diagram showing motifs like alpha helixes and beta strands of a protein sequence folded into a 3D structure), and tertiary structure (3D space fill model showing all the atoms of the 3D protein shape and structure). The paper has to be structured like a conference or journal paper. You can use a sample Springer or IEEE conference paper template (but that is not necessary). It has to have a structure like Title, Authors, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgements, References.

At UC, it is a priority that students are provided with strong educational programs and courses that allow them to be servant-leaders in their disciplines and communities, linking research with practice and knowledge with ethical decision-making. This assignment is a written assignment where students will demonstrate how this course research has connected and put into practice within their own career. Assignment: 
Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied, or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study. Requirements:

• Provide a 500 word (or 2 pages double spaced) minimum reflection.
• Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited.
• Share a personal connection that identifies specific knowledge and theories from this course.
• Demonstrate a connection to your current work environment. If you are not employed, demonstrate a connection to your desired work environment. 
• You should NOT, provide an overview of the assignments assigned in the course. The assignment asks that you reflect how the knowledge and skills obtained through meeting course objectives were applied or could be applied in the workplace.
