2STANDARD OPERATING ENVIRONMENT PLAN
1. Introduction
The standard operating environment (SOE) for Swinburne University of Technology is
comprised of some components such as: upgrade of windows 7 to windows 10 through the
computer lab rooms. There is a software supported image which is used for deployment
across the university’s staff computers. The image is included with an operating system,
standard connecting software along with security settings used at Swinburne University of
Technology (Cashmore 2015). There is standard hardware configuration for deployment of
various users at the university. In order to allow flexibility for the academic as well as
research purposes, the university upgrades its operating system. The standard software
applications are being tested against the configuration of SOE.
This SOE plan is for the Swinburne University of Technology for upgrade from windows
7 to windows 10. SOE is covered hardware and software configurations for the upgradation,
operating system as well as application software. It also define the scope of upgrade and
communication among the service staffs for proper upgradation of the operating system.
2. Scope and expectations
The scope of this SOE plan included of staff desktop computers, and software that are the
assets of Swinburne University of Technology, and used into the Microsoft Windows and
Linux environments. The entire SOE is supported by Information Technology Services (ITS).
The computers which are used for the upgradation purpose are treated as exception to the
standard. There is support of hardware and software configurations which ate facilities by
ITS and external vendor. All the technical equipment’s along with devices in SOE must
operate as pet the university standards.
The university can ensure that the functions are to be performed as per the expectations of
the client such as physical connect as well as set up of the device. It also ensures that the
