MIS 360 PROJECT

THE BROADWAY CAFÉ

The object of this project is to tie the concepts learned in class into a final project so that

students can see how they fit together and experience the process of working on a project team.

The premise of the café is that the students inherit their grandfather’s coffee shop that started

in 195 and still operates like it is 195. The students need to bring the cafe into the 1st

century. !e choose a coffee shop because it is instantaneously identifiable for students. !e feel

the case will gi"e the students a true business approach to #T and allow them to work hands$on with

many of the intangible concepts we teach. #t will also help them tie all of the #T concepts together

to see how they work to help a business operate %e"en a coffee shop which is not an #T business&.

The flexibility of the case allows you to co"er any number of topics' in any order' at any time during

the (uarter.

The business areas for de"elopment are listed on the excel project team document. Therefore

teams pick a topic from the list %also shown here&.

*$+usiness

ne of the biggest benefits of the #nternet is its ability to allow organi2ations to perform business

with anyone' anywhere' anytime. *$business is the conducting of business on the #nternet' not only

buying and selling' but also ser"ing customers and collaborating with business partners. #n the past

few years' e$business seems to ha"e permeated e"ery aspect of daily life. +oth indi"iduals andorgani2ations ha"e embraced #nternet technologies to enhance producti"ity' maximi2e con"enience'

and impro"e communications globally. 6rom banking to shopping to entertainment' the #nternet has

become integral to daily life.

,ecurity

rgani2ational information is intellectual capital. 7ust as organi2ations protect their assets $

keeping their money in an insured bank or pro"iding a safe working en"ironment for employees $

they must also protect their intellectual capital. n organi2ation’s intellectual capital includes

e"erything from its patents to its transactional and analytical information. !ith security breacheson the rise and computer hackers e"erywhere' an organi2ation must put in place strong security

measures to sur"i"e. ll businesses must understand the importance of information security' e"en if

it is not enforceable by law. #nformation security is a broad term encompassing the protection of

information from accidental or intentional misuse by persons inside or outside an organi2ation.

,ystems -e"elopment

#nformation systems are the support infrastructure that helps an organi2ation change (uickly when

adapting to shifting business en"ironments and markets. /any factors must come together tode"elop successful software. The ,-8' also known as the software life cycle: or the application

life cycle': is the o"erall process for de"eloping information systems from planning and analysis

through implementation and maintenance.

)etwork and telecommunication

Telecommunication systems enable the transmission of data o"er public or pri"ate networks.

network is a communications' data exchange' and resource$sharing system created by linking two or

more computers and establishing standards' or protocols' so that they can work together.

Telecommunication systems and networks are traditionally complicated and historically inefficient.

;owe"er' businesses can benefit from today’s modern network infrastructures that pro"ide reliable

global reach to employees and customers. +usinesses around the world are mo"ing to network
