Introduction
This is an individual project. This project is related to the Case Study project. Each student must complete an Architectural Diagram that illustrates the placement of security and other technologies within the converged network solution. The foundation for this project is the requirements analysis and proposal document that you completed for the Case Study project. The target audience will be the organization’s Chief Information Officer (CIO). The Architectural Diagram deliverable is an MS Word document.
The completed Architectural Diagram deliverable is due by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the due date shown in the Course Schedule. See the Additional Information section of the syllabus for the penalty for late or missed assignments and projects.
The Architectural Diagram is valued at 10% of the course grade.
Case Study
Company Overview
Catacomb, Inc. is a global logistics provider that offers fully integrated freight and supply chain services through managed warehousing and domestic and international freight forwarding. Services range from door-to-door domestic and international delivery services to total supply chain management. With branches across the United States and Europe and partners worldwide, Catacomb continues to expand, and it has experienced rapid growth through acquisitions.
Note: The term supply chain refers to all the elements involved in bringing an organization’s products from the raw-goods stage to the customer.
The Association for Operations Management (APICS) dictionary ((http://www.apics.org/Resources/APICSDictionary.htm) defines “supply chain management (SCM)” as the design, planning, execution, control, and monitoring of supply chain activities with the objective of creating net value, building a competitive infrastructure, leveraging worldwide logistics, synchronizing supply with demand and measuring performance globally.
The Business Challenge
Catacomb is competing in an environment where freight transport is as much about keeping customers informed as it is about on-time delivery. The company has adopted web-based technologies for tracking freight, differentiating its services, keeping customers informed, and ensuring the on-time delivery that is Catacomb’s hallmark. As a result, Catacomb enjoys a very high level of customer satisfaction.
Its mobile workforce has rapidly increased, with drivers using PDAs to scan consignments, which are then synced in real time via GPRS links to headquarters applications that track the consignments. Customers use Catacomb’s web services to view the progress of orders, from dispatch to warehousing to final delivery. Customers also use Catacomb’s web-based systems to create freight documentation and generate reports. With the EDI interface, invoices and payments are transferred directly between the customers’ systems and Catacomb, saving both time and money.
As the company has expanded, the data flowing in the system have increased as well. Now, with more than 5,000 employees and thousands of customers worldwide, Catacomb is suffering from the effects of explosive growth. Demands on its wide area network (WAN) are exceeding capacity. The main data center has experienced several network outages and unscheduled downtime. The aging ISDN telephone system is failing, as the company has avoided the costly upgrades necessary to keep it operating at optimal performance. Telephone bills have increased without warning, and the voice mail system is overloaded.
The Opportunity
Catacomb wants to provide increased bandwidth between all 47 of its US offices and the main data center. There are five (5) metropolitan areas that have four (4) to eight (8) Catacomb locations that need to coordinate among themselves: Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, and San Diego. The company desires a reliable and secure network to accommodate its planned growth as well as the unexpected.
The company does not want to spend any more on telephone services than it does today, and its goal is to upgrade the services while protecting against escalating costs from its ISDN service provider.
Efficiency and productivity goals for this rapidly growing company are of paramount importance, and there is a desire to provide capabilities and services that incorporate technology solutions to improve in those areas as well as retain the high level of customer satisfaction. Catacomb is also interested in reducing travel between its sites by implementing video conferencing.
In addition, Catacomb wants to be able to monitor and manage data and voice services, and ensure that capacity and usage is appropriate to its business needs.
The Deliverable
For this assignment, you will use your proposed solution for the Catacomb requirements analysis. Briefly describe the proposed technology solution and list the business requirements (including security requirements) that are satisfied. This should be done on one (1) page. Then provide a diagram that illustrates the placement of various communications components within the context of developing an effective, efficient, security posture for the proposed solution for Catacomb’s converged network.
Your deliverable is a single 2-page MS Word document that contains:
• A 1-page description of the proposed technology and a list of the business requirements (including security requirements);
• An architectural diagram that illustrates the placement of various communications components; and
• Contains the following section headings:
o Description of the Proposed Technology Solution
o Architectural Diagram
The architectural diagram can be developed using other applications (MS Visio or PowerPoint, CAD, etc.). However, the diagram must be incorporated into the MS Word document as a bitmap, gif, jpeg, etc. It must be properly positioned (centered) on the page and must not be off-centered or bleed over the edges or margins of the page.
Your deliverable will be scored according to the Scoring Rubric below. Be sure you have incorporated all required aspects of the assignment

The purpose of this assignment is to show how business decisions can be made by using rigorous decision-making techniques.
Using specified data files, chapter example files, and templates from the “Topic 8 Student Data, Template, and Example Files” topic material, complete Chapter 6, Problems 2, 31 (part a), 32, and 33 from the textbook. Use Microsoft Excel to complete Problem 2. Use the Palisade DecisionTools software to complete Problems 31, 32, and 33, and ensure that all Palisade software output is included in your files. The Palisade DecisionTools Excel software needs to be used to create the decision trees.
Problem #2:
For the decision problem in Figure 6.1, use data tables to perform the following sensitivity analyses. The goal in each is to see whether decision 1 continues to have the largest EMV. In each part, provide a brief explanation of the results.
Let the payoff from the best outcome, the value in cell A3, vary from $30,000 to $50,000 in increments of $2500.
Let the probability of the worst outcome for the first decision, the value in cell B5, vary from 0.7 to 0.9 in increments of 0.025, and use formulas in cells B3 and B4 to ensure that they remain in the ratio 1 to 2 and the three probabilities for decision 1 continue to sum to 1.
Use a two-way data table to let the inputs in parts a and b vary simultaneously over the indicated ranges.
Problem #31a:
Carlisle Tire and Rubber, Inc., is considering expanding production to meet potential increases in the demand for one of its tire products. Carlisle’s alternatives are to construct a new plant, expand the existing plant, or do nothing in the short run. The market for this particular tire product may expand, remain stable, or contract. Carlisle’s marketing department estimates the probabilities of these market outcomes to be 0.25, 0.35, and 0.40, respectively. The file P06_31.xlsx contains Carlisle’s payoffs and costs for the various combinations of decisions and outcomes.
Use PrecisionTree to identify the strategy that maximizes this tire manufacturer’s expected profit.
Problem #32:
A local energy provider offers a landowner $180,000 for the exploration rights to natural gas on a certain site and the option for future development. This option, if exercised, is worth an additional $1,800,000 to the landowner, but this will occur only if natural gas is discovered during the exploration phase. The landowner, believing that the energy company’s interest in the site is a good indication that gas is present, is tempted to develop the field herself. To do so, she must contract with local experts in natural gas exploration and development. The initial cost for such a contract is $300,000, which is lost forever if no gas is found on the site. If gas is discovered, however, the landowner expects to earn a net profit of $6,000,000. The landowner estimates the probability of finding gas on this site to be 60%.
Use PrecisionTree to identify the strategy that maximizes the landowner’s expected net earnings from this opportunity.
Perform a sensitivity analysis on the optimal decision, letting each of the inputs vary one at a time plus or minus 25% from its base value, and summarize your findings. Which of the inputs appears to have the largest effect on the best solution?
Problem #33:
Techware Incorporated is considering the introduction of two new software products to the market. The company has four options regarding these products: introduce neither product, introduce product 1 only, introduce product 2 only, or introduce both products. Research and development costs for products 1 and 2 are $180,000 and $150,000, respectively. Note that the first option entails no costs because research and development efforts have not yet begun. The success of these software products depends on the national economy in the coming year. The company’s revenues, depending on its decision and the state of the economy, are given in the file P06_33.xlsx. The probabilities of a strong, fair, or weak economy in the coming year are assessed to be 0.30, 0.50, and 0.20, respectively.
Use PrecisionTree to identify the strategy that maximizes Techware’s expected net revenue.
Perform a sensitivity analysis on the optimal decision, letting each of the inputs vary one at a time plus or minus 25% from its base value, and summarize your findings. Which of the inputs appears to have the largest effect on the best solution?
To receive full credit on the assignment, complete the following.
Ensure that the Palisade software output is included with your submission.
Ensure that Excel files include the associated cell functions and/or formulas if functions and/or formulas are used.
