Individual project on one of these topics:


 * 1) Master Data Management

 * 3) Moving data storage to the cloud
 * 4) Data warehousing in the cloud
 * 5) Big Data utilizing Hadoop
 * 6) Virtualized storage on the cloud
 * 7) Topic cleared by me.

Role: Internal IT person recommending to board of directors Section 1: SWOT Section 2: Software selection Section 3: Implementation of Recommended Solution
 * 1) In this section, describe a current product or service that, if approved by the management team, will become a cost effective solution to the problems addressed elsewhere in your paper. The key here is to properly match the vendor solution to the company problem in a way that takes care of the problem while creating advantages for the company. Look to vendor case studies as a method for presenting the match of problem to vendor solution.

Section 4: ROI General criteria:
 * 1) Return on investment is a major part of your pitch to management. Look to case studies on vendor websites to get an idea of the potential savings
 * 1) The hard copy report will not exceed 5 pages typewritten 1.5 spacing with reasonable font size for easy reading. **Presentation counts**.
 * 2) All sources should be well documented and do not count against the 5 page total. Appendices can be used to give more detail and not count against the 5 page limit. However, the five pages are the report and all persuasive arguments should be contained within five or less pages.
 * 3) PP slides, you tube videos or student produced videos are permitted during the class presentation. ALL teams should come with hard copy of their reports on presentation day. See note below.
 * 4) Be sure to survey multiple vendor websites before making your choice.

Note: **Optional Video presentation. Limit presentation to 10 minutes**. Must be uploaded to YouTube. If you choose the video presentation, you may add a third member to your team. Upon successful upload to YouTube and turn in of hard copy, classes become optional.

Ezvid’s latest version now includes and supports screen recording. With its screen recording feature, it can capture or record everything that happens on your screen. Currently, it cannot customize yet the region or area you capture and so it records all activity in your entire screen. Using it is very easy, you just have to click the “capture screen” icon and it will start recording your screen after 3 seconds. With Ezvid, it will automatically be added on its timeline. No need to find another software to edit your recording as Ezvid can edit it right away and most of all, Ezvid can upload your captured screencast instantly to YouTube without hassle. It supports major types of video format that is accepted by YouTube.

It’s quite a time-saver and almost an all-in-one video maker software. It’s a Windows application and can be used for your school/class presentations, how-to demos, and gameplay videos.
