Problem Instructions

Flix2You is looking for a company to help them design a solution that meets the requirements they have set forth. As a group and aided by course materials, course content, and quality external resources, you need to create a proposal to meet the requirements of Flix2You. Keep in mind; your organization is not
the only one being solicited for this contract.

Problem Introduction

Flix2You wants to expand its current operations. The goal of Flix2You is to make better use of their current data which would then allow them to apply analytics to better understand how they formulate a new strategy for their business. "We have collected data in our system for almost 9 years. So we know we are data ‘rich’ but as they also say….’information poor’, says Steve LaSalle, a corporate vice-president. Flix2You wants to be the most comprehensive video rental portal in the country.

The purpose of this problem is for your group to create a solution that meets the needs of Flix2You, a movie rental company. Flix2You already has a website but is wants to better understand who their customers are and how they can increase revenue. Flix2You is searching for an organization that will help them create a solution to manage the data and database that drives the Flix2You site and their corporation.

The goal of this problem is to assist Flix2You in their initiative to design a solution that will create a data repository for easier querying and applying analytics to better understand their data. More specifically, Flix2You needs an organization to create a database design, create a backup and recovery plan, conduct a user analysis for using the new database, analyze current data, create database reports, and identify any legal issues for the new repository that Flix2You needs to be aware of.

It is the responsibility of your group to demonstrate the nature of the solution by producing a problem document which is actually a plan to help Flix2You and solve their problem. Requirements for the document are detailed throughout this document.

One of your group's responsibilities is to ensure that each of your group members participate equally throughout the design and development of the products. It is highly recommended that, prior to starting the project, each member of your group chooses a role from which you will play throughout the project. Choose the participants that you feel will most strongly make your case to the Board of Directors.
