Therefore, the firm hired CIO to carry out analysis and submit a project plan to upgrade the systems. Thus, the aim of this report is accurately carry out this analysis and clearly propose the project plan for the system.

The purpose of this report is to help Enterprise Integration to remove the issues they are facing, with the introduction of a new system. For this, proper specifications for a brand-new system will be developed and implemented as part of the new system. As the CIO I have been tasked by The CEO to submit my plan well within sixty (60) days to deliver an information technology project plan in anticipation of the company acquiring the new systems. Since this is a start-up company, there is currently no building or technology infrastructure to support the business. All information technology (hardware and software) must be implemented in either a hosted solution, on-site solution or a hybrid model. The CEO is expecting you to integrate different technologies from different partners and incorporate industry best practices in connection with the development of technological systems.
