SIT223 Project: Asset Tracking Software, Tech Stack, SWOT Analysis

This document details an IT project aimed at developing asset tracking software for the LogistiX Company. The project involves creating backend functionality using a database (MySQL preferred) and a frontend interface for authorized users to manage asset data, ensuring data integrity and security. The document compares two technology stacks (A and B), evaluating quality planning, product innovation, UML tools, project management, and programming languages, with Stack A being considered superior. A SWOT analysis highlights the strengths (suitable tech stack), weaknesses (internet/cloud dependency), opportunities (centralized data), and threats (hacking, system failure). Ethical considerations are also addressed. The project design and implementation, including technology selection and potential ethical issues, are discussed, with references to relevant research.

Project planning:
The aim of the project is to develop an asset tracking software for the LogistiX
Company. At present, the organization is using spreadsheets for tracking the assets of them
that includes trucks, containers, cranes and some of the other items. For the project, one
backend functionality for data storing will be created using database, for that one of the free
sources are preferable. And one front end will also be created for presenting an interface to
the customers where a customer will be able to retrieve or enter data from the back end. Only
the person who is authorized can only access the system. There will be no inconsistency of
data as well as the information and data will be remain protected from the sources that are not
legal.

9PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE IN IT
The technology stack A is better than the technology stack B. As with the implementation of
stack A My SQL will be used as the data modelling tool but for the stack B TOAD will be
used where My SQL is better than any other data base modelling tools. And for the
management and planning of the project MS project will be used where ScrumDesk is not as
good as MS project. Also the combination of the java and ASP.NET will way better than
PHP and SQL combination.
SWOT analysis:
Strength:
The technology stack A will be suitable for the implementation of the project. As it is
having so much advantages. As it will use My SQL as the data modelling tool but for the
stack B TOAD will be used where My SQL is better than any other data base modelling
tools. And for the management and planning of the project MS project will be used where
ScrumDesk is not as good as MS project.
Weakness:
The technology stack A and stack B are having some weaknesses too as the software
will be based on the internet or web. The software will also based on the cloud services. The
will be a strong probability to be hacked.
Opportunities:
The data will be stored into one system. The authority can access data any time from
there. The data will be stored automatically to the system and it will send the data
automatically to the storage. There will be no risk for loosing the data.

Threats:
The system can have the probability to be hanged. And the data can be lost then. And
the most dangerous threat for the software is hacking.
