Task

This is the final part of the Tele-Health project. You need to answer these questions within the context of that project.

Cloud based solutions should be investigated. Furthermore, data security also needs to be further investigated, which includes data ownership, data security in the cloud and who has access permission, and to what level of access, etc.

You are the business systems analyst assigned to the project, you will need to produce:

Non-Functional Requirements
• This sets out the critical system qualities, system interfaces, user interface requirements, and system constraints. 
• Use to ‘FURPS+’ acronym as reference, and ensure you at cover the non-functional aspects of the acronym, Usability, Reliability, Performance and Security.

Review of cloud based solutions
A review of strengths and weaknesses of cloud based solutions. Taking into consideration the environment in which the solution would be deployed.

SDLC Approach
Write brief description of the Pros and Cons to approaching the project using the ‘Predictive’ SDLC, then the Pros and Cons to approach the project as ‘Adaptive’ SDLC. Then recommend either Predictive or Adaptive to the SDLC for the project and briefly describe why.

Submission Method: Turnitin

Rationale

This assignment is intended to develop and test your ability to research information systems relevant issues, as well as develop requirement information. Also to consider the appropriate approach depending on the criteria of the information system solution.
