create two alternative design strategies for a new system that has been proposed.
The owner of two ice-cream parlors wants to computerize and integrate sales transactions and inventory management within each parlor and between both parlors. The systems at each parlor should be connected to each other so that the owner can determine the inventory levels for each parlor and for both parlors combined. The owner can allocate $60,000 for hardware and $30,000 for software. The ownerâ??s requirements are that each system should be fast and easy to use, should require minimal training, and should be operational within 4 months from project initiation.
Describe two alternative design strategies, and explain how each would meet the ownerâ??s requirements. What are the constraints in this situation?
