and Requirements Analysis

HFA Associates User Profiles

Common Users Super Users

Common users are

goal- oriented and focus on

what they want to

accomplish. They may not

understand nor care about the technology and

software used but just

want to type a document,

send an email, or use

the internet. These users

need basic machines with office productivity

software, a web browser,

and other common

programs associated with

the average business

machine. are goal- oriented

and focus on what they want to accomplish. They

may not understand nor

care about the technology

and software used but just

want to type a document,

send an email, or use the internet. These users

need basic machines with

office productivity

software, a web browser,

and other common

programs associated with the average business

machine.

Creative users are application-

oriented and have the

training and experience to

employ expensive purpose-

built and often complex software. They are typically

computer-savvy because

using these complex

applications requires them

to know the technology at

a level beyond goal- oriented users. Creatives

require capable machines

with better-than-average

processors and memory,

and a high-DPI display.

Coders use the most

advanced features of their

computer hardware and

operating systems to

develop specific HFA workflows, applications,

and websites. Coders are

characterized by a high

degree of technological

competence. These users

require highly specialized programming utilities and

applications, and the most

capable, innovative

machines with

multiple/fast processors,

substantial amounts of

memory, and multiple high- resolution displays.

All users require the capability to add external peripheral via fast USB connections and/or the latest

Bluetooth standard. Additionally, all computing devices must be physically secured against theft. You

should include warranty, support, antivirus, and office/mobility accessories. Consider if

external monitors are appropriate to the user profile. All users should be afforded the capability to

quickly disconnect from the office environment.

Management made a business decision to standardize on two configurations. Thus, the Creative and

Coder user types will receive the same machines. You should ensure that both groups of users’

requirements are satisfied. Note: You are not required to include purchase recommendations on

software applications.

Proposal Requirements

Section 1: PC Purchase Research

Using the background information above, research a PC purchase meeting all HFA

Associates’ requirements at the best price:

Purchase of 50 new PCs to replace all existing employee desktops with laptops.

Consider external/multiple monitors.

Consider additional peripherals via USB 3.0 and Bluetooth.

Consider physical security mechanisms.

Consider the capability to allow users to quickly disconnect in the office environment.

Section 2: PC Purchase Recommendation

Using an online configuration/customization tool, build out your recommended PC purchase. Use a tool

from one of HFA’s three preferred vendors:

Dell (https://dell.com/en-us/work/shop/deals/laptop-tablet-deals)

Lenovo (https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/c/LAPTOPS#type=TYPE_ATTR1)

HP (https://store.hp.com/us/en/cat/laptops)

As you formulate your recommendation, follow these general guidelines:

Add the recommended build to a cart or quotation:

Ensure your configuration includes the estimated cost per machine

Using the vendor’s “comparison” feature can be helpful

Use the “build your own” or configure options

Build your configuration. Proceed to the shopping cart/other stage to view the result:

Enter “first name last name CMIT 202 xxxx Semester Year,” where xxxx is the section number

and semester is the UMGC term (example: CMIT 202 6380 Spring 2021) into the coupons form

area.

Note: Do not click on “apply coupon” and do not submit the cart!

Print the pages to PDF (ensure the headers/footers are on)

In your proposal:

Include warranty, support, antivirus, and accessories.

Add the recommended build to a cart or quotation.

Enter “first name last name cmit 202 xxx” where xxxx is the section number (example: 6380) into

the coupons form area. Do not click on apply coupon and do not submit the cart!

Print the pages to PDF (ensure the headers/footers are on) and upload the image to the assignment

folder along with your report.

Ensure you have included a cost estimate.
