James is looking to migrate the system into the cloud.
James has assigned you to a research project to develop solutions for a problem ProCom faces. In short, the ProCom wants to move its current blogging platform to a cloud-based system.
Any solution you recommend must be compatible with ProCom’s IT administration needs (what security and administration features the system must have) and ProCom’s user experience needs (what skills its users need the blogging software/system to teach and what effective documentation is available).
IT Requirements:
+ It must integrate with Universities Single Sign-on. Microsoft Azure AD is an example of this. It must also restrict the ProCam service to only authorized university students and teachers.
+ The security must be bullet-proof. This is because website and blogs often gets malicious traffics. Must have clear incident report response procedures.
+ The code needs to be to up date. No old code because of security issues and potential break down.
User Requirements:
+ Tool is easy-to-use.
+ Should be open-source (vibrant and developing community). The university doesn’t want to locked themselves to a commercial product.
