Project management methodology involves three phases, the building of the project concept, the planning as to what are the necessary thing that needs to be carries out and the implementation as measurement of the success of the project. In the concept phase, the need for corporate business decision is needed before you can actually begin an information technology project. It primarily involves a presentation of overview as to what the information technology project will be all about and will be subject to scrutiny before getting approved or a rejection. Planning phase will be the systematic organization as to how the flow of process of the project will go. The organization structure and the design would surely be of utmost help in the future success of any IT project.  For it is important to give specifications in terms of the division of functions to avoid any conflict and that there would be jurisdictions of functions as well.  In the last phase, which is the implementation phase, it seeks to track the effectiveness and reliability of the whole package and it enables monitoring as to how efficient the IT project is. The implementation phase is crucial such that it will serve to be the measure of how successful the whole IT project.


      In this essay, the selected information technology project is one of the products of Bangalore Software Services, a software development and consulting company that provides services, solutions and products to enterprises, the name of the product is Spark Business solutions where it would provide very pivotal business solutions needed in any business organization. Spark project is aimed to provide the power of information technology to new heights such that it has been designed as a flexible business solution that combines all the facets of business functions.


Spark Business Solution is being powered by Microsoft using three-tier Client server architecture with an open ended framework for web enablement.  The first tier is for the clients in which it offers presentation services from the user interface.  The second tier would be the application server that aids in the application services.  Lastly, the third tier is for the data server wherein the data’s are being stored for future retrieval and further data validation.


To give a brief illustration of the implementation process of Spark Business Solution.  A Process Flow Chart for Spark Life Cycle Implementation would be useful and is illustrated below:

From the flowchart presented beforehand, Spark implementation process has developed a delivery model incorporating the best industry practices. The implementation process covers the following phases: First, the pre-Implementation Scoping that covers the set of tasks, from selection and system design, to installation and maintenance. Second, the process mapping that would indicate the level of fitness of the solution based from the system requirements and the mapping processes of the software.  Third, covers the gap analysis where it deals with the quantification of the gap between organizational needs and the actual product and the completion of Standard Product Implementation based on the strategic requirement of customers. Fourth, the implementation to ensure the project applicability and the customization that would suit the very need for business solution. Fifth, the training phase provides the dissemination of knowledge that involves a consensus on core issues by promoting a deep understanding of the situation. Sixth, the post-implementation services or the maintenance that covers basic trouble-shooting, fine tuning of configuration and programs, ongoing user education and training and enhancement and rollout.


      The process of implementation of Spark business solution software is well-structured such that it delivers high quality and high value solutions. With the secondary implementation phase in the implementation process may ensure that the whole package is effective in its functioning wherein it acts as double-check in the implementation process. They also provide a pre- and post-implementation services that examines as how capable Spark in delivering business solutions when needed. The need for improvement would be in the training phase, it is their obligation to see to it that the dissemination of knowledge covers a wide scope of the client’s organization and to empower the client’s workforce average knowledge on how to maximize the full benefit of using the Spark Business Solution.


      They may provide highly-skilled personnel to clients make sure that the monitoring aspect is practiced and to determine the development in the training process ensuring that its application provides users convenience and should be a reliable and dependent ally in feeding appropriate business solution to the enterprise industry. Bangalore software services should continue to seek improvement in the project and must be up-to-date with the latest potent problems that may hinder the effectiveness of the IT project so that they also can deliver up-to-date solutions. The software can perhaps contain an update button, like the one found in the anti-virus software, to feed the latest business solutions.
