Library's collection Library's IT development CancelThe graduation project was accomplished at ROC (Regional Opleidingen
Centrum) Leeuwenborgh, an MBO education in The Netherlands. ICT Lyceum is
a department which provides education in information technology (IT). Due to
providing information technology education, it is possible to build its own
information technology structure inside the department to support the learning.
At the current time, ICT Lyceum has high expenses in its hardware
infrastructure. The department always buys different things each year which are
mentioned by lecturers, for instance: hard disk, CPU, and server. This activity
happened because ICT Lyceum department does not have any information
technology strategy to build the structure which can support the business goals.
Therefore, the project is to make a recommendation of information technology
strategy in hardware and software to encourage the business goals based on
customer (students, teachers, and managements) needs so that the department can
plan the cost for 3-5 years ahead.
In order to create the recommendation of hardware and software, Strategic
Information System Planning with Ward & Peppard method has been used. The
internal (strengths and weaknesses) and external (opportunities and threats) factors of
business and IT of ICT Lyceum was been analyzed based on the perspective’s chosen
book. Afterward, the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats were put into a
matrix in order to create the strategies options. Strategies options were being used to
create the recommendations of information technology in hardware and software. In
addition, securing and realizing the hardware and software were also been
investigated so that the strategies are more ready to be implemented.
There have been several strategies options derived from the internal and
external analysis which categorized by term; short, medium, and long. This
categorization is intended in order to facilitate ICT Lyceum in knowing which
strategies options that need to be done first. Besides, to know clearly what should
be done in the future. For realizing the hardware and software, the department has
to manage by itself rather than let the other company managed it because it is the
core activities in the company. In future development, competitor internal and
external analysis needs to be done and also auditing the whole company
information technology infrastructure.
