2. Introduction
Globexcrop wants to extend their service in precision firming and hence it is extremely important
for them to improve quality of data storage. As data is huge in amount for collecting data from
various resources including smart sensors, it requires ample data storage which is often difficult
to manage with traditional data storage techniques. Not only that data needs to be analysed
properly too for deriving intelligence from gathered data that is mostly not structured. As the
data is not structured, it is not possible to analyse those data without proper automation. Hence
data analysis with automation is an important criteria for Globexcrop. Along with that some of
the services of Globexcrop needs real time data analysis, accuracy and speed in data analysis
is an important requirement for this project of migrating enterprise services to the cloud.
3. Technical feasibility
Business requirements
As per the business requirement, scalable and real time data analysis are some of the most
important qualities of the developed system. However, if in house development is considered,
not only it will require huge infrastructure support but it will also requires technical expertise.
However, moving to cloud might be an intelligent options as it does not require in-house
infrastructure support for deployment of such systems that is capable of real time data analysis
with accuracy. Hence if the data analysis system is built in the cloud, it will be technically
feasible for Globexcrop and will also ensure project success.
Functional requirements
Cloud service offers ample amount of data storage with superior scalability. It just requires
enterprise to pay as per the subscription. Along with that cloud service also offers real time data
analysis which is also a functional requirement for Globexcrop. Database deployed in cloud
also accessible to employees from various regions and they are also capable of sharing data
seamlessly
Non-functional requirements
Cloud computing offers real time data analysis with support for data automation tool. However, it
is an complex process and hence technical outsourcing is an effective consideration here as
reduces technical complexity of data management
Technical requirements
It is technically feasible to meet these technical requirements as cloud provides improved data
security, data availability and data integrity. However, for this private cloud should be
considered over public cloud as private cloud provides better data security which is important for
data availability and data integrity as well.
4. Economic feasibility
Business requirements

Implementing cloud solution for real time data analysis to fulfil business requirements is
economically feasible as there are various cloud providers who offer cheap cloud solution and
on subscription basis. Computing resource that includes 20GB vRAM, 10GHz CPU cost only
$365 per month.
Functional requirements
In order to implement smart firming constancy, Globexcrop requires to store huge amount of
data and for that ample amount of storage is required. However cloud storage might provide
economical alternative for that as Storage of 2TB Standard cots only $120 dollar per month and
if SSD storage is required for faster data access, it only cost $240 dollar per month. Hence it is
economically feasible, especially if in-house development is considered.
Non-functional requirements
Sensors that are implemented on filed needs to send data wirelessly and needs to be stored in
central database of the company. This data needs to be shared to other departments
specializes in different aspects of precision firming over internet.
Technical requirements
With implementation in cloud company wants to bring consistency and data availability for
effective data analysis and gather detailed intelligence from collected data.
5. Legal feasibility
Business requirements
Globexcrop wants to detailed and in-depth analysis of data collected from various sensors
required for implementing precision firming. As Globexcrop deals in precision firming, it is
required for them to analysis data with enhanced accuracy. Not only that, data that is captured
from various sensors need to be shared across different departments located in various region.
Data sharing however needs to have proper authentication and it should be mad sure that data
collection and data sharing is approved by data owner and no private information is captured in
this process. However, with proper data collection policy, it is not difficult to develop and hence
legally feasible.
Functional requirements
Data storage is an important functional requirement for Globexcrop as large amount of data
needs to be stored. As long as data collection process is not legally violated and provided cloud
provider does not violate ethical data collection and sharing, there should not be any legal issue
and hence it is legally feasible.
Non-functional requirements
Once data is shared across different platform in different location, intelligence should be derived
from the analysed data which is then need to be shared with different firms to assist farmers in
taking different decision as per requirement.
This process is also legally feasible as most of the reputed cloud service providers integrates
strong measures against data collection, processing and data sharing.
Technical requirements
Information that is gathered through data analysis should be available to end users every time
and hence the central database should be consistent no matter what is the traffic of data
access.

Data consistency is an important requirement of technical requirement. Data when delivered to
the end users are often legally needs to be verified as information needs to be accurate so that
end users are not affected. However with quality data analysis with cloud computing, accuracy
of data is often ensured and hence managing technical requirement should not be any legal
issue for Globexcrop.
6. Operational/Organisational feasibility
Business requirements
Not only that, data that is captured from various sensors need to be shared across different
departments located in various region. Hence Globexcrop wants to develop such an
infrastructure that will not only provide simple yet effective measures to share data, but also
provide automation to data analysis.
Functional requirements
As per the functional requirement, data should be stored without scarcity for data storage and
analysis on stored data should be done properly so that proper information is gathered from the
collected data.
As cloud service provides support for big data analysis and also provides infrastructure support
for data automation, migration of the enterprise services and applications makes the functional
requirements operationally feasible.
Non-functional requirements
Information that is gathered through data analysis should be available to end users every time
and hence the central database should be consistent no matter what is the traffic of data
access.
When the system is deployed in cloud, it provides this facility as database is accessed through
internet and hence it is possible to gather data from database in cloud anytime from anywhere.
Hence makes this process operationally feasible.
Technical requirements
All of the services that the company has right now needs to be implemented in cloud. These
include replacement of traditional file sharing, directory services and desktop application and
implement it in cloud to offer better coordination between several branches and firms located
across various region to effectively implement precision firming.
It is operationally feasible at cloud service provider delivers required infrastructure that ensures
to design such a system which offers integrity and coordination between different firms that are
located across various region.
7. Schedule feasibility
Business requirements
Automation to data is an important aspect for Globexcrop as they also needs to deal with real
time data analysis. This is required as they wants to access real-time positions and alerts
associated with mixed Farm Equipment fleets that is developed using a Fleet Manager solution.
In addition to that they need to track fleet locations for reducing cost that is associated with
consumption of fuel and enhancing performance of operator. Hence having an option to analyse
and communicate data in real time is an important business requirement for Globexcrop. Such a
system is possible to deploy in cloud and implementation is easy and quick as no infrastructure
requirement is there. Hence the project has schedule feasibility.
Functional requirements

According to functional requirement, System should support file sharing seamlessly with
superior speed. Cloud computing through robust sever and database integration provides this
facility and also provides quick implementation option of such a system which ensures schedule
feasibility.
Non-functional requirements
Non-functional requirement involves sharing of data to end users to help them taking decision
regarding smart firming. Hence a system should be developed that supports data analysis in
real time with proper accuracy.
Information needs to be provided to end users with proper consistency, no matter what is the
traffic of data access.
Although developing a highly scalable database is time consuming, but with cloud
implementation schedules are effectively managed and development is also completed within
time. Hence managing functional requirements is feasible in terms of project schedule.
Technical requirements
Data availability, data security and data integrity of the collected data are some of the important
requirements for Globexcrop.
As the system is proposed to be deployed into the cloud, such a system is possible to
implement quickly and hence this process has schedule feasibility.
