System Integration Implementation Plan 9

Winn Dixie is a major leading brand grocery store that are spread across the united states. The store has gone back as far as 1925.Most major cities are now building a Winn Dixie and closing its smaller stores. This store would bring great profit for all the investors as well as the people who shop from it.

The overall objectives for this assignment is to be able to place Winn Dixie grocery stores across the united states as well as convince old grocery stores to closed down and make Winn Dixie the main grocery store. This will help with the business in most states as well as keep businesses opened due to the fact that there will be profit coming from Winn Dixie.

Some of the businesses needs in order for Winn Dixie to be built are budget cuts in some cities as well as new vendors. Other grocery stores would need to close down their business in order to be able to contribute to Winn Dixie. Some of the technical needs would be having to install new software on Pcs as well as buying new cash registers for each store being built.

Some of the major components that would be integrated into these systems includes checkouts and well as payrolls systems and inventory. The checkouts would need to be connected to the main Winn Dixie database which is on a server. As well as the Main office would have new software installed on there PC’s to keep track of inventory as well as payroll which would be connected to the main server. Job Titles would also be integrated for employees who have knowledge in the area. However, the name would be changed such as for example Harvey’s department managers would be switched to department lead and so on. Some of the boundaries would include store hours and locations.

Attached you will find the chart with the dates the project will go by.

I will be using the waterfall method for my project due to the fact that since Winn Dixie is spreading across the united states there has to be several things done in order for a business to be built. First we will start with the project initiation phase with the business owners of smaller grocery stores as well as come up with what requirements we will need to start the project. We will also discuss the budget that is being set as well as come up with a schedule to go by. Next we will start the planning process. During this process we will come up with how much its going to cost to build a new building as well as write out a schedule to keep everyone on track and then start the tracking process. We will then collaborate to start the modeling process for the design on how we want it to look and as well as analyze the results. After the modeling phase we will then setup the checkouts as well as the network that the pcs and checkouts will connect to in order to code and test the results to make sure everything works After all of this is done the team then will deploy the and delivery upon the plan that was written out. As well as provide support in case of something happens or on of the other phases are not working correctly according to the schedule. We then close the project.

The new system is going to help customer have a better shopping experience as well as be introduced into a new grocery store. These new registers and stores will allow customers to be able to shop and checkout faster than having to wait in long lines as well as leave with bad shopping experiences. “It will also help with cost savings for retailers (George, para 1, 2013)” Watching users use the new system will allow for Winn Dixie to determine how to better there store as well check to see if customers are liking the new software and self checkout systems. The software installed should allow customers to pay for food items as well as gift items faster than standing in line and accept all payment methods such as cash, credit card, EBT as well as money orders. The new store should accept all forms of payments as well as comments on how to make it better if needed so. For this project I plan on convince the buyer to invest into this new cash register system and grocery store as well as have the system installed into there new store when the business gets built. The new building will also convince shoppers that Winn Dixie has better discounts as well as products available compared to other grocery stores.

Stake holders

Project managers, Network Analysis, Software designers and business analysis, Human Resources, Contractors, Security

New payroll system will be lead by the human resources team. There job is to ensure that the old payroll system is erased and the new payroll system will be implemented and work correctly.

New network system will be lead by the network analysis. There job is to set up a network that will connect to the new payroll system as well as the new database server and central database and inventory system so that the software will run correctly and keep track of what is being sold and brought in. Also the network team will setup a database server for the pcs as well as the checkouts and payroll systems to connect to in order to manage payments as well as inventory. They are also in charge of setting up a Wi-Fi infrastructure that every system can access.

New software will be lead by the software designers. There job is to install software on the pcs as well as the checkouts. This will allow for the project manager to see how the new checkouts work as well as check to see that the payroll system is working correctly as well as inventory on food items and sales.

Store setup and business will be lead by the Project manager as well as the business analysis. There job is to implement store design as well as keep project on schedule and budget as well as organize the store and office.

Security will be lead by the security team. There job is to place cameras on the building as well as install security on the PCs and checkouts and install alarm systems on the store.

Building will be lead by the contractors. There job is to building the store as well as draw up a blueprint for the Project manager to look over while being built.

Hardware components

Some of the components that are needed are 4 checkouts,4 PCs, a wireless Infrastructure, central database server as well as a database server, parking space software and building. Some of the functional parts include having space for the new building. all checkouts having a cash drawer, monitor with software installed with built in touchscreen, barcode scanner, payment terminal that accepts bank cards/reward cards, receipt printers as well as a scale for produce items. All pcs and checkouts will also include software as well as a Wireless adapter card that adapts to the central database through Wi-Fi. This will allow for the checkouts as well as the inventory and payrolls to be on the same server. The checkouts will be connected to the central database which is connected to the database server. The office will connect to the database server which is connected to the pcs running windows 10 that keep track of the payroll as well as inventory. Both Pcs and Checkouts will connect to a Wi-Fi Infrastructure to be able to be online. This will allow for the project manager to keep track of sales as well as payrolls of each of the employees.

Function requirements

• Provide a printed receipt for customer checking out. This will allow for customers to get a receipt after purchasing their products.

• Identify customer through a swipe of bank card or ebt card and manual entry of a pin number when checking out. This will allow for people use bank cards in order to make purchases.

• Allow customers to pay cash for products instead of card.

• When paying for groceries allow for a deposit of cash after checkout if wanting cash back. This will allow for customer to receive cash back after checking out.

• Be able to accept reward cards or reward points. This will allow for customers to save on groceries as well earn more points for spending money.

Non function requirement

• A Toshiba checkout system is required

• The systems can not connect to the bank system to process transaction.

• The self checkouts must connect to the database server which shares data with the inventory system.

The objectives for this projective are:

• Establish a new grocery store

• Establish a new payroll system, inventory system as well as new software and hardware.

• Establish new self checkout systems in grocery stores such as Winn Dixie.

• Convince small cities to invest into this new system and grocery store.

• We will not have trouble building this new store as well as getting the parts needed for the systems being installed.

The positive things from this project are:

• Building a new system as well as checkouts for company’s

• New buyers investing in the systems as well as new store

• Gaining knowledge about how to invest in a new system

• Gain new customers as well as new systems.

• Being able to get the parts that are required

• Convince buyers to build new stores and invest in this new self checkout system

Cons

• Not being able to convince buyers to invest into this new store.

• Not being able to keep project on schedule.

• Spending could increase.

• Cost of technology could increase
