The components of the system that you recommend including input devices, output devices, and storage.
The operating system, utility, and application software that you recommend.
The company’s communication and network needs.
The database management system that you recommend.
Information about development of the information system.
The enterprise integration of the new information system.
Your plan for the company’s utilization of cloud storage.
Your recommendations for harnessing the power of the Internet and the World Wide Web to give the company a competitive advantage.
