ITM 800

This course examines the methodologies and tools necessary for successful planning, evaluation and implementation of information technology. Emphasis will be placed on further developing the skills learned in ITM 700 to identify opportunities to increase the effectiveness and/or efficiency of a business unit's operations, to increase its competitive edge, or to enhance the deployment of human and/or information resources in a corporation. Building on the industry and company analysis project from ITM 700, student teams will conduct a feasibility study within a real client organization to develop or redesign a business process or information system. The study will identify organizational issues related to introducing new technologies, design required process changes, establish business case justification and provide an implementation plan for the recommended solution.
