Assignment Task

 

Objective
• The assignment is inspired by a real-life case. In particular, you are introduced to a kind of a non-technical problem solving task that IT professionals often have to deal with in practice. The assignment develops the students’ skills in problem solving, analysis and reporting.

Assignment #1
Imagine that the bank you work for is about to buy a software product for the implementation of a new application. After researching the market, it has been concluded that there are 3 alternatives: a commercial package (Product A), a cloud based SaaS product (Product B) and a commercially supported open source software (Product C). Your manager has asked you to perform a comparative study of the 5-year costs of the 3 products, based on the variation of number of users that will have access to the application and prepare a power-point presentation that summarizes your findings and conclusions.
After contacting the products’ vendors, talking to your colleagues at the bank and researching the market you have identified the following facts:
 

Product A
Product A consists of 6 components (sub-products) that are all required for the new application, however, they are licensed independently:
-Sub-product A1 that is licensed on a per user basis, costing £100 per end-user that will have access to the application.
-Sub-product A2 that is licensed on a per user basis, costing £150 per end-user that will have access to the application.
-Sub-product A3 that is also licensed on a per user basis, costing £300 per end-user will have access to the application.

Product B
The cloud based SaaS product (Product B) uses a hybrid license and subscription based pricing. The license for Product B is based on the number of different users that
will have access to the product. The facts for Product B are as follows:
-The initial license fee for end-users (i.e. business users) is £350 per end-user.
-The subscription based fee, is due on an annual basis, starts from the first year, with a cost of £300 per end-user. There is no disaster recovery site costs for Product B, given that this is a cloud-based solution.
There are no implementation/customizations fees involved for Product B.

Product C

The commercially supported open source product (Product C) license is subscription- based (i.e. maintenance only), starts from the first year and costs £25 000 per year, per CPU installed on the application server that the product will run.
It is also estimated that in order to be able to perform adequately in the production environment, Product B requires 2 CPUs for up to 400 Users, 6 CPUs for 401 to 600
Users and 8 CPUs for 601 to 1000 Users. The licensing cost of the disaster site for Product C is zero.
