Information Systems Capstone - Dashboard Rough Draft

The project has certainly come a long way from the beginning of the semester. For some additional background information, we've chosen Volkswagen as our hypothetical sponsor, and plan on implementing AR technology with various dealerships that offer repair/maintenance services with the Microsoft HoloLens. The goal is to increase customer satisfaction and trust with Volkswagen by providing a more transparent and efficient maintenance and repair service by utilizing AR technology. We've hammered out a lot of the details, and are currently putting together the 10,000 word proposal as well as the dashboard.

The dashboard itself shows the financial impact our AR implementation will have, and will require a SQL connection of some sort for the final submission. Posted here will be the rough draft, which involves predicted revenue and market share increases should our AR implementation be accepted. We are still working on the SQL connection, and availability online through Tableau online services, so in this post there will only be pictures. Once the project is completed, however, I will be sure to provide a link to our interactive dashboard!

Pictured here we have the basic overview of the dashboard. The revenue graphs have figures for predicted revenue Volkswagen can expect without our implementation, compared to the 5-9% increase in revenues should they choose to implement our AR solution. The market share graphs shows the current predictions for Volkswagen's market share in the automobile industry, and how our project could potentially increase it.

Here we have the visualization filtered by a year range (2018-2022) by utilizing a slider. This shows the expected implementation period and predicted figures for the future. Our plan may have a slight drop during the implementation period during 2018, but shows increasing returns in the following years.

 For further insight, you can also highlight specific measurements in the dashboard. Should someone wish to compare base revenue with the expected 9% increase, they can by highlighting the two. This feature makes it much easier to compare specific figures.

And finally, you can select a specific year in the "Revenue - Direct Comparison" visualization to get a very specific comparison on that year's revenue figures. This could also be combined with the previously mentioned highlight feature if desired.

Towards the end of the month, my group will have the report and dashboard completed, and the proper links will be included in a future post!

Information Security - IT Security Consulting Project

During my Fall 2017 semester, I took Information Security. The final project for this class involved contacting a local business and conducting a free IT Security Risk Assessment. Once chosen, the group meets with the selected business to ask a bunch of security questions to perform a risk assessment. The answers are then analyzed by the group, and feedback is given to the business on what kind of risks are apparent in their security. My group's business of choice was Sora Medical Clinic, a small walk-in clinic. They operate by accepting clients without requiring insurance, but fees and such are paid by the client. Upon scheduling a meeting, we came up with a list of questions based on our lectures from the class. Linked here is the very list (with answers omitted for privacy reasons): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1J941GwBvj8M-jcaAfCAjlWFyF6DghXJ-/view?usp=sharing To my group's surprise, the clinic was VERY secure, and had a ready answer to nearly every question.

Information Systems Capstone - Introduction

In my Spring 2018 semester (the current one as of this post), I will be taking the Information Systems Capstone, which acts as a replacement for my internship requirement to graduate. This means the class will involve a full-semester-long project that replicates something we would do in the working world. As a group, we must propose to a Fortune 500 company why they should invest in Augmented Reality to help them save or earn more money. This involves a 10,000 word report detailing the opportunity, an explanation of the proposed solution, technical architecture, financial justification, and the implementation plan, an interactive dashboard that assists our argument to implement AR, and a manual detailing dashboard use, underlying financial analysis, and technical infrastructure. The project overall is quite the undertaking, requiring us to form a Sprint Workplan to stay on track during the semester, as well as weekly status reports with the professor. Everything is on us to researc...
