2. HCC says the following: “We will be the opportunity institution for
every student we serve – essential to our community’s success.”Broadly
– and incompletely – ‘success’ can be interpreted in two ways here.
What might they be? Is there a notion of ‘success’ that our community
could achieve that is somehow not worth achieving?

Use the ideas from Immanuel Kant and Jeremy Bentham to explicate the
two potential meanings of ‘success’. Then, explain how those meanings
might yield different interpretations of the passage quoted at the
beginning of this prompt. Which notion of ‘success’ is it proper for
us to seek to achieve? Or, is there one that it is proper for us to
seek to achieve? Defend your answer.

Stage 2 Analyzation of Organization with Recommended System Solution

See Stage 2 attachment
For this assignment, you will prepare the first section of a report that will ultimately analyze the organization described in the case study and recommend a system solution. In this section, you will analyze the organization and explain how an IT system could be used to support its strategies and objectives, and support its decision-making processes. Your report should not exceed four double-spaced pages and must include at least two references.

Using the case study provided, you will prepare and deliver a Business Analysis and System Recommendation (BA&SR) that will be divided into four stages.

The BA&SR report will be developed as a short paper, using Microsoft Word, or software that can be read using Microsoft Word. Each of the stages involves a section of the BA&SR, as follows:
Stage 1: Strategic Use of Technology – The first step is to look at the organization and explain how an IT system could be used to support the organization’s strategies and objectives, and support its decision-making processes.
Stage 2: Process Analysis – Next you will evaluate current processes and workflow and explain how the organization in the case study can use IT to improve its processes and workflow.
Stage 3: Requirements –Then you will identify key stakeholder expectations for the new technology solution to support the organizational process identified in the case study and develop a set of requirements.
Stage 4: System Recommendation – Finally, you will review the provided Vendor brochure for a proposed solution and explain how it meets the requirements and what needs to be done to implement the system within the organization.
