Information and Content Management Coursework
1. Introduction
This is an individual coursework for the Information and Content Management course taught by Dr Ray Stoneham. The aims of this coursework are to critically evaluate the implementation and management of security in Enterprise Content Management Systems; appraise the legal, ethical and social aspects of web-based systems and to critically evaluate quality assurance in Content Management Systems.
Task 1 is to evaluate costs and benefits of SharePoint, compared with two other open source Content Management Systems. This involves some calculations based on research and assumptions made for a multinational organisation.
Task 2 is to illustrate quality improvements that could be achieved by implementing an Enterprise 2.0 system in an organisation or company.
Task 3 is to compare and evaluate Web 2.0 systems and Enterprise 2.0 with regards any legal, ethical and social issues that may arise, and to illustrate with recent examples.
Task 4 (Appendix B to D) consists of weekly uploads from the examples of MySite to illustrate the wide range of functionality available in SharePoint. 2. Task 1
2.1 Objective
Investigate and evaluate different Enterprise Content Management Systems based on their total cost of ownership and make appropriate recommendations.
2.2 Assumptions
The multi-national organisation has 30,000 employees and its headquarters is in London, United Kingdom. It has companies spread over the United States, India and Asia. There is one lead administrator and five developers who are based in London.
A typical Enterprise Content Management system runs on top of a stack consisting of an Application Server, Database and Operating System (Alfresco, 2008).
The organisation will be able to utilise the existing hardware and network base of the organisation, so no additional hardware cost will be incurred when implementing the new Enterprise 2.0 systems.
Existing Server:
• Processor: 64-bit, eight cores
• RAM: 16GB
• Hard disk: 2 TB for
