Hi Team,
As per discussed, created this team blog to discuss about out group project assignment.
Business Case Study (Group – 30%)
Future Manufacturing Ltd is an international manufacturer with offices located in US, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Singapore.
The company manufactures thousands of small parts that are required in CNC machines, laser cutting machines, plastic molding machines and stamping machines. In the current order placement and fulfilment system, each distributor must create an account with the company, login to the online ordering portal and place the orders. The orders will automatically be sent to the fulfilment department to package the orders and arrange for the delivery to the distributors. The system will track the order status via the same online ordering portal.
The online ordering portal has 25,000 registered distributors and an average of 50,000 daily orders are received. In recent years, It has also been observed that the ordering patterns spike in Apr, Nov and Dec with at least 50% increase in these months.
The current online ordering portal web application is developed using Microsoft ASP.NET. The system is run on 2 on-premises IBM Lenovo Think Server TS450 Tower Servers, each with 64GB of memory and Intel Xeon E3 (Quad Core) E3-1225 v5 processors. The application uses Microsoft SQL Server 2019 which runs on one IBM Lenovo Think Server while the web application (ASP.NET) runs on the other IBM Lenovo Think Server, forming a 2-tier client-server architecture. The Singapore company subscribes to Starhub fibre broadband of 100MBps for Internet connectivity. 2 full-time IT administrators are employed to maintain and administer the servers while the application is developed and maintained by a 3rd party software vendor.
The current servers are aging with frequent hard disk failures and power outages. It has observed that the servers are having difficulty in processing the incoming orders especially during the ordering spike that happens in Apr, Nov, and Dec period.
CEO Mr. Mark See is introduced to the benefits of migrating some of the IT operations to the cloud services that will maximize the revenue with significant reduction of total cost of ownership.

DeleteAt 0:00 on November 12, 2021, the annual Tmall Double 11 will come to an end, with a total transaction rating of 540.3 billion yuan, an increase of 41.2 billion yuan from last year's 498.2 billion yuan.
After 13 years, Tmall Double 11 is still growing steadily.
In terms of single products, snowboards, outdoor power supplies, pet toys, archaeological blind boxes and figures, ambient lights, morning C and evening A, four treasures of the study, pre-made dishes, scrubbers, child safety seats... have become the favorites of consumers.
In terms of age, more than 45% of post-90s and post-00s consumers, especially post-00s, have increased by 25% compared to last year. Every day 1.1 million elderly people use the "elder model" to visit Double 11, and the top three products they like to buy It's smart phones, down jackets, woolen jackets, and I prefer to get together to shop online at 7 o'clock in the morning.
In terms of merchants, 290,000 participated in Tmall Double 11 this year, 65% of which were small and medium-sized merchants, industry belt merchants, and new brands, of which 70,000 merchants participated for the first time.
In the first hour of sale, there were more than 2,600 brands whose turnover exceeded that of the whole day on the first day of last year.
As of 23:00 on November 11, the turnover of 698 small and medium-sized brands has increased from one million to ten million; last year, the 78 brands with a turnover of ten million on 11.11 exceeded the 100 million mark this year.
Nice sharing!
DeleteHi guys, to begin the project, i have drafted as below to indicate the current situation on the discussed company's IT infrastructure and the condition:
ReplyDeleteIn current company’s order and fulfilment system, there are thousands product types in the online catalogue. 25000 distributors (B2B customers) were registered with their individual accounts, login username and password to be managed. The order and fulfilment system were key factor on the success of ordering by customers, packaging and shipment. Any disturbance throughout the process will cause delay in transaction and affect customer satisfaction which is very critical for customer retention and the business continuity.
From the given info, the aging server is facing frequent hard disk failure and power outage. Both situations may cause severe data corruption and data loss.
Hi everyone!
