Management Information System Development Project

The assignment content discusses a proposal for developing an efficient Management Information System (MIS) Department at Accent Enterprises to address data anomalies and issues in processing up-to-date information. The project aims to create a system preventing data redundancy, reduce inconsistencies, and provide real-time information. Estimated to be completed within one year with a budget of $300,000, the project involves various roles and phases, including initiation, analysis, design, development, deployment, testing, and maintenance.

Information management project proposal
Issues
Accent Enterprises has been experiencing data anomalies in their information and data because
of the absence of Management Information System. Due to this reason, the company is
1. Experiencing data redundancy
2. Experiencing data anomaly.
3. Issues in processing up-to-date information in database
4. Issues in computers due to high amount of data storage.
Objective
To develop an efficient Management Information System Department. The Management
Information System will aim to (Coronel, C., & Morris, S., 2016).
1. Create a system preventing the data redundancy
2. Reduce the data irregularities and inconsistency
3. Create a system with up-to-date and real-time information
4. Create a system with respect to the memory capacity.
Estimation
The Management Information System will be implemented as quickly as possible and the
current problems have been halting proper functioning. However, the project is estimated to
be completed in one year of time span.
The estimated budget for whole project is around $300,000 for the implementation of MIS
Department in the company. The budget charges include the hardware and software charges

with the shipping and insurance during shipment. The estimated hardware 227,000 and for
software is $30,000.

Monitoring and control
The actual and the budgeted as well as planned achievements must be compared from time to
time and actions must be taken for correcting any deviation in the project. The project
manager will exercise tight control for matching the performance with the estimated plan. A
continual review will be performed for determining the proceedings of the project. All the
resources will be asked to update the project manager and the top management regarding the
state of the project as presented in the reviews or while making the necessary amendments.
