Resources: For in-house development, what people/skills are required and what developmentlifecycle do you recommend? Otherwise, identify 3 candidate organizations that can deliver thesystem.5. System functions: In a table format, summarize the types of users for the system; the businessreason(s) each would use the system; the ways that the system supports each of these needs;and how this support differs from the current system.6. Connectivity: Provide a diagram that shows how the system will connect to the other informationsystems and what data flows among them.7. Security: List the most serious cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities of the new system.Suggest strategies to address them.8. Mobility: Identify the system’s capabilities for mobile use.Include a title and summary slide. Use one slide for each of the 8 points above. Include speaker notes oraudio narration that explains each slide more fully.Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, andlanguage and writing skills, using the following rubric.Points: 200 Assignment 2: The PresentationCriteriaUnacceptableBelow 70% FFair70-79% CProficient80-89% BExemplary90-100% A1.
