Information Technology Infrastructure project

Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure is a big topic in IT development. This article will focus on a proposal project to develop IT in AusEd which is an educational organisation in Australia. This organisation has extended to many different locations, therefore IT infrastructure development has an important role to support business activities to achieve the organisation's vision in future and sustainable development via green environment and save energy.

Project Preliminaries Description

AusEd is an online learning university that has provided IT programs. It is easy to see its role as allowing students to “be what they want to be” through these online programs. Students can gain university degree without going to campus. IT discipline-specific skills and generic transferable skills have been assisted by the learning opportunities that have been supported by communities, industries and businesses in partnership. These links will create alternative learning experiences and opportunities to add more benefits into the learning journey of students. AusEd’s aim is to offer a diverse community of career professional that can contribute to social change positively. The organisation prides itself on being a professional provider, creating postgraduate education to many who want to get a fantastic opportunity to experience it. Therefore, this project will support AusEd to analyse some possible problems in IT infrastructure and suggest some crucial solutions that assist them to improve the service quality, efficient system operation and adapt to rapidly changing technology in IT infrastructure.

Purpose and scope of the problem space as well as business context

Before raising the purpose and scope of the problem, there is an analysis to understand the business circumstance in term of information technology infrastructure system development. Business context: AusEd online education has currently focused on three major divisions sales, course delivery, and operations. Firstly, the sales department has managed the sales and marketing operation. Managing agents and code promotion are the mains targets. SugarCRM is an important enterprise application for customer relationship management that has been used to assist these activities from sales department to empower the company to gain and retain customers. Secondly, course delivery division has distributed for the development of course material and running the special study centres and others. Thirdly, the operations division has controlled all the operations encompassing accounting, email and other essential services. MYOB is the essential application that they has implemented to manage accounting activities. For enhancing sustainable development, the organization has conduct a crucial strategic plan including two main parts. The first part is increasing income by diversifying sources of funding such as Australia's AusAid and New Zealand's NZAid. In order to archive this plan, they add more education services to areas with low quality and unstable Internet connections. In addition, AusEd also wants to improve reliability of student assessments. The second thing is minimising cost of none-core activities. For details, AusEd will seriously consider to reduce various supportive activities on operations and technology development. Purpose and scope of the problem In this part, the purpose and scope of the problem will consider after analysing business context. AusEd has a specification feature that all educational activities are online learning so that networking infrastructure is an important role such as website learning, email, external agents and management applications. In addition, the major subject in university is Information Technology so that IT infrastructure must be good enough to ensure all education activities are reliable and stable. After reviewing the current system, educational activities features and AusEd’s development strategies, this project will suggest some beneficial points to enhance the performance, technology and security of the current system in order to achieve minimising cost as much as possible.

Scope of the system descriptions and assumptions

Scope of the system descriptions In general view, AusEd has five main sites in many different places, including two branch offices in Pt. Moresby and Suva and four study centres in Melbourne, Sydney, PNG and Suva that will connect with head office in Darwin through the internet environment as a diagram illustrates below:

When these sites connect through the Internet environment, there will have two popular methods to connect between these sites encompassing centralized and distributed networking. After analysing the current system and also current business circumstance, the project will select the centralization method. This method will bring many beneficial points, particularly, minimising cost of system facilities and reducing employee operation cost in each sites, according to Lann (2017). On the other hand, maintenance cost and updated cost on network equipment for each site decrease, significantly but it still has been operated on high performance and security through the high technology networking devices from datacentre services (Null & Labor 2014). Overall, the selected method can adapt to AusEd business line and the strategies in long-term development and will be described more detail in system design. Assumptions The project will have some assumptions for designing the new system for AusEd. Firstly, the project assumes that just only Darwin has already got a current system such as server, PCs, laptop and basic networking devices such as cables, routers, WIFI modem. The remained sites need to setup new subsystems that are similar the system in head office. Secondly, AusEd’s policies allow the new system to use open source software. Besides, AusEd will hire some different kinds services in the same datacentre in one vendor in Darwin Australia such as, VM (Virtual Machine) domain controller server, VM DNS server, VM files server and VM database server, firewall application, VPN services and Internet service. Secondly, the project assumes that Head-office will have 120 users, branch office 40 users and study centre 100 users.

Appropriate System design by using suitable schematic diagrams

Networking diagram for AusEd’s new system In diagram (H), the system can divide into three main groups, encompassing two groups for external site and one group for internal site. The first group for external site include all kinds of cloud services such as email, website hosting, applications and VoIP and the other one is remote users and mobile users. A group for internal site is head office in Darwin, two branch offices in Suva and Pt. Moresby and four study centres in PNG, Suva, Sydney and Melbourne. However, in PNG, Suva and Pt. Moresby sites the branch offices and study centre will connect to data centre-Cloud Services in Darwin through VPN connection with the network private port as showing in diagram (H). There are some main features that new system can provide as requirements: Allow each internal site can connect to datacentre following private port. Allow external sites as mobile users or remote users can connect to datacentre though VNP through firewall. Allow internal site from different location such as Suva, PNG and Pt. Moresby to connect through VPN with private port. Allow all cloud services such as email, Internet, database from different enterprise to connect through cloud port. Allow server to use open-source software for example: Linux, OpenVPN… Setup security applications such as anti virus such as Norton, KIS… Support VoIP for 3 offices and 4 study centres.

New system for head office in Darwin and two remote sites in Suva and Pt. Moresby For more detail as diagram below, some requirements functions such as supporting scan, printing and sharing files, email, VoIP, connecting database with other enterprise as Sugar CRM, MYOB and ensuring learning online website- Moodle online 24/7, security system as anti virus malwares…

New system for four study centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Suva and PNG

As the requirements, a new system must support for 120 users in each study centre. Therefore, the networking devices will be the same with the head office but it will be different in configuring the system and the connection method. Head office will use LAN connection whereas some study centres in difference location will use VPN connection because of security issues through the Internet environment (Stallings & Case 2013). Some essential functions are required such as: • Photocopying, scanning and printing facilities • Wi-Fi networking to permit learners to connect their devices or laptops to the Internet and University systems • Students can access Moodle website for online learning. • Student can use other resource for studying including desktop PC, online library resources and technology. • Student can use phone to call home over the Internet (VoIP). Some main and important issues consider in new design system a.Datacenter-Cloud services selection According to Warren (2016), there are three mains criteria for selecting data center vendors. -Location: choose a vendor that has a nearest location with the organization, particular head office, in term of management issues. -Capacity: there are two main requirements based on analysis steps include, performance and reliability. Datacenter must have tier III qualification that ensures the system to be available during their backup or maintenance (Null & Labor 2014). In addition, vendor’s service must address to AusEd’s capacity and scale requirements. -Interconnect: this issue relates to AusEd’s interconnect requirements such as cloud speed connection and inter-connect to a lot of other providers to create a bundled service as MYOB, SugarCRM and Moodle. b. Facilities issues Before buying process conducted, selecting suitable facilities is the key point that can cut cost for the budget. For example, all sites are basically similar network infrastructure. However, head office have 120 users that will be implemented special networking devices such as strong router, Wi-Fi router and switch with having enough performance for 120 users and the two branch offices will use normal networking devices for supporting 40 users because of minimising cost strategy. c. Security This project will select some security methods to protect the new system from top information security concerns for this enterprise such as - Data Breach: According to Karena (2014), embarrassing data breaches officially become more popular and known as mega breaches. According to Sean Kopelke as senior director of technology at Symantec, smaller companies are the easier targets that hackers will gain access because of weakness IT infrastructure. -Ransom ware, hacker, mobile threats, attack on point-of-sale system and attack on IoT devices. Therefore, the projects choose using VPN devices and cloud port for external sites, deploying firewall, using private port for internal sites. Besides, this will deploy antivirus software as Norton or KIS for servers. d. Using open source software: OpenVNP for VPN connection, Linux for servers and Moodle for e-learning website in term of reducing cost.

A complete list of equipment, devices necessary for the design

Based on new designed system, this project proposes a complete list of devices and cloud services for deploying a new system. (Appendix-Download)

A cost analysis of the proposed Infrastructure design

There are two complete list of price for devices, software and services, including selected vendors and estimated cost (Appendix-Table1 and Table 2). These lists are selected based on AusEd’s strategies and requirements. This project considers keeping all services of software that AusEd has used because of their stability and saving time and budget. In order to minimising cost, the project does not conduct exchange email server instead of using office 365 services. This pack of services can save more cost if the Office 365 business premium is selected. It includes Ms-Office 2016 full package with 5 licences for PC, tablet and phone, email service and teleconference. In security software, the project suggests to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security because of saving cost and good performance (Egan 2017). The estimated total cost of hardware, services and software for 150 users at once initiate setup is approximate AUD 583,000 (523,000+60,000) (Appendix Table 1 and Table 2). Cost is paid for monthly maintenance services and software is around $80,000.

Sustainable global economy and environmental responsibilities

The project is not only focus on bringing more benefits for the organisation but also consider about sustainable global economy and environmental issues. There are some responsible actions for these issues. Firstly, the project is setup following the Green IT trends. Using IT devices are low electric consumptions in order to save energy for sustainable development. Secondly, the project uses some new technological methods such as virtualization for saving energy and protect environment (Lann 2013). This method can reduce quantity of using physical equipment to save cost, energy and protect environment by less releasing old severs. On the other hand, desktop PCs are setup sleep mode and electrical devices are unplugged when unused. According to Ohio University and Mulquiney (2011), these actions can reduce cut energy consumption by more than 70%. Another actions respond to environmental protections such as hiring green office buildings such as Meinhardt building, using datacentre services that consume electricity creating by solar. For example, using solar power, some datacentres in Australia can cut off 40% in electric bills (SMH 2012).

Why Hire Custom CRM Development Company For Cloud-based CRM

Customer relationships are central to the growth of a business enterprise. Are you planning to hire a custom CRM development agency in India to build a personalized application for your business? Then you must also plan to invest in a cloud-based system. As the name suggests, a cloud-based CRM application is hosted on the cloud. This makes it easily accessible for everyone irrespective of their location. Some of you must be wondering what benefits such a system brings to the table. For one, it allows all the key stakeholders of your organization to access valuable insights in real-time. There are innumerable other benefits of a CRM tool that is hosted on the cloud. Let’s take a look at some of them.

1. Easy CRM Implementation

Implementing a CRM tool is an intricate process that requires expert handling. An organization has to create the necessary technical infrastructure consisting of hardware and software elements, for supporting the application. Apart from this, you must make the necessary arrangements for managing and maintaining the complete infrastructure. On the other hand, a cloud-based system can start functioning without elaborate technical arrangements. All you need is uninterrupted access to the internet and you will be able to use the tool. The authorized users will have to log in with their credentials and they will be able to access all the features of the application. This is one of the biggest reasons why you must hire a custom CRM development agency to build such an application.

2. Round The Clock Access To The CRM Software

Managing customer relationships is a continuous process and cannot be constrained within a 9 to 6 work shift. An on-premise solution can be accessed only when the user is at the office. This means that your workforce cannot access insights after their working hours. Compare this to a cloud solution that is accessible to all the authorized users at all times. The users must have an internet connection and a laptop to access the CRM. Some organizations are also investing in mobile CRM that can be accessed in smartphones. This helps their staff in accessing the application on the go. A cloud-based tool will enable users to quickly find the necessary information, make key changes to documents like sales proposals, and schedule meetings with potential customers. This is the reason why most enterprises invest in a cloud-hosted custom CRM solution.

3. Cloud CRM Is A Cost-efficient Option

Another big advantage of using a cloud CRM is that it is cost-efficient in nature. You do not have to make significant upfront investments to create the necessary setup. Moreover, there are no additional expenses for maintaining the infrastructure. This is one of the main reasons why small enterprises prefer an application that is hosted on the cloud. They do not have to spend substantial resources on implementing the solution. Most cloud-based services offer subscriptions based on the pay as you use model. This means that the organization will be paying only for the services it is subscribing to. Even if you invest in a dedicated cloud-based setup you will save money because of the lower maintenance costs. Ask your custom CRM software development agency in India to create a cloud-based tool.

4. Cloud-based Applications Offer Flexibility

Your business operations will expand and grow in multiple directions. This means that your customer acquisition and retention initiatives will also have to be scaled up. Businesses need flexible and easily scalable applications to ensure they can smoothly manage their customer relationships. An on-site tool will have to undergo extensive configurations for handling the extra load. There are no such problems in a cloud CRM. Small firms can start with a simple tool that includes basic features. Once their needs and resources grow, they can add extra functionality as well as enhance the capability of the application. A custom CRM software in a cloud environment will always be more flexible than one in an on-site installation.

5. Assured Data Backup At All Times

Another key benefit of a cloud-based application is that your data will always be protected from loss. Since every information is in the cloud environment, it will be easy to create backups. Even if the system crashes or anything else goes wrong, the data can be recovered without any trouble. This is markedly different from an on-premises solution where you will have to make special arrangements for creating the back up. You will have to expend resources in creating a storage infrastructure for your backed up data. This will add to your expenses and also increase your workload. This is another reason why you must invest in cloud-based CRM application development.

Why SDLC Infotech Is The Best Custom CRM Development Company For Creating Cloud Solutions?

A traditional, on-premises solution does not offer you the flexibility, scalability, and convenience of a solution that is hosted on the cloud. Furthermore, such applications can require a significant infusion of resources that can be tough for small enterprises. A cloud-based solution makes it possible for small business owners to benefit from a focused customer relationship management tool without spending a lot of money. But you need to partner with a reputable software development company to acquire an effective solution. SDLC Infotech is the best custom CRM development company for building all types of personalized applications. Here are a few notable features of the company.

1. Experienced In Using All The Major CRM Platforms

SDLC Infotech is regarded as the best custom CRM software development company in India because of its proficiency in using all the major platforms for building applications.

How IT all started - Make IT Painless

I was with a client last week and he asked me how it all started. He really wanted to know how I developed my unique ability to quickly understand what the business needed and then just as fast translate it into a technical plan that was easily executed.

My First IT Project

In the early 90’s there was a new game called Fantasy Football, or at least it was new to me. We pretty much played touchdown leagues because we calculated everything by hand from Monday’s USA Today sports section. I didn’t realize it at the time but my passion for sports introduced me to the rest of my professional life . . . computers. My story isn’t like most computer guys. I didn’t start by taking things apart or building machines in the garage. I wasn’t even a gamer. I started as a word processing user. My first computer was an IBM PS/1 that I bought at the now defunct Montgomery Wards, so that I could have spellcheck when I wrote my papers in college. It was a modern convenience that would quickly consume all my time and take me places I would have never thought I could reach.

I became the Data Guy

Before I knew it (and between homework assignments), I was building workbooks in Microsoft Works and calculating all the fantasy football points for the entire league This saved everyone hours and hours of painstaking work. Before long I was able to run dozens of these leagues with very little effort and my reputation as the "data guy" was born. By the mid 90’s, I was beginning to use my schooling and passion for making things easier with computers and wrote some simple menu systems for DOS based point of sale systems. It wasn’t much, but it was the first time I used my skills and got paid. It was a turning point for me and made a career in computers seem obtainable.

I am the glue that keeps things together

After several years studying how to code, I moved on to network engineering where for two years I learned how to put more than one computer together and get them securely working on the same tasks. This, added to my software development and business acumen became the launching pad for my career. I was able to sit in a room with the a business unit, software developers and the IT guys and totally get what everyone was saying. But the true value came when I could easily see when one of the groups was not on the same page and I had the soft skills to quickly remove the confusion and right the ship. I quickly became the glue that made all these disjointed groups work together, which quickly moved me through the ranks.

Getting to work with the best

Over the years, I have worked on some incredible projects with amazing people. I have worked with fellows and executives from Stanford, Intel, GoDaddy, Dell, UNFI, Cardinal Health, Booz Allen Hamilton, Arthur Andersen, SAP, Siebel, Sage, SugarCRM, SalesForce, and TASER International to name a few. I also have had the pleasure of working with dozens of small business owners in retail, grocery, construction, manufacturing, machine shops, restaurants, sports clubs, nonprofits, HOAs, real estate, ecommerce, commercial diving, and many other industries. To this day, I continue to do what I did during the early day of Fantasy Football. Take a painful task and make it painless. I have hundreds of contacts and colleagues at my disposal. So, when a company works with me they get my years of experience and all the expertise I have collected and am connected to around the world. I always work with less than five clients so I can focus and my availability can remain flexible. I am originally from New England and moved to Sarasota in 1996. I love baseball, fishing and anything outdoors. I have been married for 25 years, have a teenage son that attends Pine View School for the Gifted and Swims for the National and State Champions, Sarasota Sharks. If you are not sure about hiring a consultant, my favorite thing to do is to sit down with an owner or executive officer and see if I can help. (Especially over a beer or cup of coffee.)

SugarCRM Hires Jaywing for Global Digital Marketing, Brand, Creative and PR

Sydney: Customer relationship management (CRM) brand SugarCRM has consolidated its digital marketing and creative duties, appointing Jaywing Australia to manage its business in key markets around the world, following a multi-agency competitive pitch.

Jaywing Australia previously managed paid search and creative for SugarCRM in APAC, leading to Jaywing in the UK managing paid search in EMEA.

The combined global pitch, led by Jaywing Australia, has seen a significant expansion of Jaywing’s role with the US-headquartered business, adding digital marketing, PR, data, brand and creative services across the Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, North America and Latin America.

SugarCRM is the CRM challenger brand, enabling businesses to manage and develop customer relationships with an adaptable and affordable CRM solution. Jaywing won the business following a pitch that included both US and global agencies.

Veronica Mikhail, vice president corporate marketing, at SugarCRM said: “The team at Jaywing not only demonstrated a clear understanding of our business and customers, they presented a unique offer with a united global front that answered then went beyond the brief. I’m delighted Jaywing will help us to drive our unified global challenger approach to market, capitalizing on their work to date in Asia Pacific and EMEA, all of which has led to strong commercial results.

“We were seriously impressed with the level of data-driven insight offered by Jaywing’s Whisper product, revealing Sugar’s and others’ place in and influence on the CRM conversation, and how this will be applied right across clever creative design, execution and performance marketing.

“The team’s ability to knit together a cohesive customer journey across all touch-points with robust testing of innovative and traditional approaches in multiple languages will bring brand, data, and performance consistently together to drive leads and push conversion.”

Tom Geekie, managing director of Jaywing Australia said: “Since starting work with SugarCRM a year ago, our partnership has gone from strength to strength. We’ve added leading-edge technology to our people- and relationship-centric approach, expanding our paid media services into new territories and they have now put their trust in us to help grow their share in some of the most competitive global markets.

“Winning a global pitch with a truly integrated, multi-territory approach shows exactly why we operate as we do at Jaywing. Initially we brought specialist talent and software to a specific brief and now we’re been able to showcase our broader skills in a collaborative effort that is far more than a wider set of services. It demonstrates global reach that is designed to help marketers tackle wide-ranging challenges through bringing together data and creative, an everything in between.”

Jaywing will manage SugarCRM’s account from North Sydney and its UK offices. Jaywing Australia has a track-record of winning and running both global and challenger brand accounts, such as Wedgwood and Credit Card Compare.

Jaywing recently expanded its presence and capabilities in Australia with the purchase of Frank Digital, which works with clients including Merivale, Bauer Media, City of Sydney and CanTeen.

Shift Your Sales team from task oriented to client oriented with SugarCRM

Regardless of the industry, you're in, whether you're B2C or B2B, operating in an online-driven condition or a traditional brick and mortar store, at last, all organizations share a similar objective: you need your sales teams to acquire more revenue. On the other side, there is a huge need to hire certified SugarCRM Partners.

Normally, sales teams turn out to be exceptionally focused on finishing their assignment records rapidly and in a way that they can reach however many customers as could be expected under the circumstances. Be that as it may, very commonly, client concentrates and one-on-one relationship building becomes mixed up in the mission to complete however much as could reasonably be expected, and consequently consumer loyalty and client purchasing volume drop.

Below mentioned are three tips for transforming your sales team into the customer-centric team:

Understand Business Value

Regardless of the item or service, you offer, or how great your technology is, one thing that will dependably give you a chance to separate yourself from competitors' organizations is the nature of service you give. Your service, and additionally relationship-and trust-building that you offer to your customers are extraordinary. In the outdoor retail space, for instance, purchasing equipment and clothing isn't an emotionless experience.

Customers are hoping to interface with an organization and sales reps that comprehend their way of life and goals. They develop enduring associations with the organizations they esteem learned and bona fide. If you are giving a credible client experience, no competitor can clone the sort of compatibility you work with your client base. Furthermore, in this somewhat short day and time, the relationship you make with your customers is your greatest incentive.

Know Your Customers

Your sales reps are on the telephone with prospects and customers throughout the day. Every piece of information you can assemble from them (their request history, purchasing experience, list of things to get things, inclinations, attire or shoe measure, most loved outdoor activities, favored installment techniques, and so forth.) are gold for your company. Also, if client information is gold, regard it accordingly: gather it carefully, sort it by gloss, and store it in a calm and dry (and continuously available) place: your goldmine – your CRM.

The key here is the way to utilize every one of that information you're gathering about your customers. Storing it in a proficient framework is the initial step. How you're arranging and afterward utilizing it is the subsequent stage.

In Sugar, sales reps can alter their view with customizable dashlets, to indicate whether they see a client's full request history, their favored outdoor activities, or even a list of things to get of products for possible future trips.

Go From Doing to Doing-What-Matters

While your salespeople are confirming assignments with customers, would they say they are indeed concentrating on the ones that issue the most? What questions would they say they are asking your customers? It is safe to say that they are driving the discussion into a heading that influences customers to feel both valued and slanted to bounce on their next purchase?

Wouldn't it be decent on the off chance that you could structure your sales reps' activities and calls around those events that will drive the most sales and maintenance? How would you do that, you inquire?
