Assignment Choice #1: Outsourcing Virtual Desktop Business Proposal

You are a member of the IT department at a company that is really going through some tough financial times. The leadership within that company has decided to pursue the idea of outsourcing a virtual desktop solution that would allow much more flexibility and secure desktop delivery. You know that there are multiple virtual desktop solutions out there, but aren’t sure which one is the best solution for this company.

Analyze all the costs and benefits of moving to a virtual desktop solution, and propose a minimum of four benefits of the new system over the existing one. Compare and contrast reasons why the company should choose the system you are recommending over keeping the existing system.

Using all of your knowledge up to this point and any external sources necessary, create a written proposal explaining why the organization needs to adopt a virtual desktop solution.

Your proposal must be a minimum of two pages, double-spaced. Support your argument with at least three credible, outside sources. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these sources. You may want to review the assignment criteria found in the Rubric under "Course Information" in the left navigation pane. Remember to use proper citations and references, and adhere to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.

Assignment Choice #2: Job Retention Presentation

You are a member of the IT department at a company that is really going through some tough financial times. The leadership within that company has decided to pursue the idea of outsourcing the IT department, which means that you would lose your job. You know that outsourcing is not the best solution for this company, but your boss has asked you to defend your position to the leadership of the organization.

Analyze all of the costs and benefits of outsourcing IT, and present at least four well-supported reasons why the company should keep the department. Using all of your knowledge up to this point and any external sources necessary, create a presentation explaining why the organization needs to keep the IT department.

Your presentation must be a minimum of 10 slides. Include details in the notes section for each slide. You may want to review the assignment criteria found in the Rubric under "Course Information" in the left navigation pane. Remember to use proper citations and references that comply with the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.
