Scenario B: Internet Bank 

Imagine you work for a start-up company that is launching an internet bank. The internet bank will provide the following financial products and services to its customers:

· Accounts and deposits

· Credit, debit, and travel cards

· Loans

· Insurance

· Investments

· Tax services

Senior management and investors have identified the following key technical factors for the success of the internet bank:

· Scalability: The technology and software application infrastructure must accommodate high growth and new users without impacting the service levels delivered to existing users.

· Availability: Users must be supported with robust, consistent, and reliable access; excellent performance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

· Security: Industry-accepted security practices and a multi-level authentication system have to be put in place to authenticate and identify each user before they access their accounts and initiate transactions.

· Manageability: The technology and software applications infrastructure must be easy to manage, support, and update. 

You have been assigned to analyze your organization and develop a technical architecture to support the business processes of this internet bank.

Imagine this scenario: Pine Valley Furniture’s board of directors is ready to review how to implement and maintain the new WebStore system. 

Create a 6- to 8-page implementation and maintenance plan for the new WebStore in which you:

• Recommend an installation strategy for Pine Valley Furniture’s student furniture WebStore.
• Justify your recommendation by stating the advantages and disadvantages in comparison to 3 other installation strategies.
• Outline the documentation that you would suggest creating to:
• Document the system
• Train and support users
• Outline the system testing plan.
• Briefly describe the activities needed for the testing plan elements.
• Summarize Pine Valley Furniture’s WebStore’s maintenance needs, including:
• Alternate organizational structures
• Quality measurement
• Processes for handling change requests
• Configuration management
