90 days Starting date of project: 01/04/2010 Total budget for project: 90.000 USD I/ PROJECT INTRODUCTION This is the project of improvement and renovation the Network system (LAN/WAN), Server, Email of Thien Long Stationery Group As establishment history, from one small manufacturing company, nowadays, Thien Long develops strongly to Group with larger scale from day to day The existing network system, server and email could not adapt to the increasing demand of development for both current and future situation Therefore, Thien Long Group has decided to create the Project of Improvement and Renovation the Network system (LAN/WAN), Server and Email II/ OVERVIEW AND CURRENT STATUS OF THE NETWORK SYSTEM 1/ The Local- Area Network (LAN) As existing infrastructure, the computer internal cabling network has been built and used for a quite long time In production process, arising from the demand of developing the company in market, human resources as well as other equipment serving for working as computer, this network is essential to be broadened and expanded adapting need for each specific period of time Gradually, the system is changing to be different compared to the initial structure as well as the technical and aesthetic features The current cabling system is rather complicated because it was not invested synchronically and unifyingly Since system being broadened temporarily with issue-immediate-confronting idea, part of it was laid floating on the floor, worming in the walls, another part was fixed by temporary string knots without protection tube or by sticking-plaster (arising from the demand of working desk location changing or adding more working plots) The existing cabling system is using diversified kinds of cables with different quality standards (UTP CAT5) that leads to the slow connected capability as multi-layer classification (the number of users is increased, so system is broadened by add more switches and used any node to uplink backward the previous switch) Internet connecting equipment (Hub, Switch…) is not synchronized and could not be protected in good and safe environment (protection cabinets, thermal dispersion…) 2/ Wide- Area Network (WAN): Previously, due to the need of development was slow; there were only one manufacturing factory and one office However, these days, as the expansion and demand of development be broadened, more and more factories, offices, stores, agencies… are opened in different places across the country From that, the demand of connecting all those places appears With the old system, it could not adapt the increasing demand; therefore, it is necessary to build the wide-area network 3/ Server system Server system equipped before is becoming old with low configuration and incapacity Thus, the system could not meet the demand of improvement of Thien Long Group 4/ Email system The old email system leading to common issues of email unable to be received, email losing; spam mail often received, etc… moreover, the development in number of employees, all of them making the email system could not adapt the workload III/ THE IMPORTANCE OF NETWORK SYSTEM RENOVATION As analyzed above, the network, server and email renovation has significant important role to business of Thien Long Group In case not renovating and improving, Thien Long Group has no chance to develop not only in current situation but also in future IV/ OBJECTIVE, SCALE OF RENOVATING INVESTMENT With the rise of information technology today, as well as the application of informatics technology for work, business, and production, the execution of improvement and renovation the current system is absolutely matched with increasing demand is inevitable It has to make sure the system work smoothly with security, data security and good processing speed The renovation needs to be taken simultaneously and uniformly in large scale for the purpose of synchronizing technical standard of cabling system, starting-terminal equipment, server and email During the work of new system, it is regulated that the construction has no effects on current operation of existing system (the existing system will be removed right after the new system is finished) V/ IDENTIFY & DESCRIBE THE ROLE OF KEY HUMAN RESOURCES OF PROJECT AND CONCERNED PARTIES In term of Thien Long Group a Project manager: IT

PROJECT CONTROLLING AND SUPERVISING - Supervise the work being done by project executing party on daily basis - After one week, project is checked all the done items - Checking the working schedule - Checking all the purchased materials on base of right categories, specifications, and quality - If meeting difficulties during the executing period, project team will meet and discuss to find solutions - For every 30 days, meeting for consideration and assessment of project is held - When each items of LAN, WAN, SERVER, EMAIL is done, it will be tested, played trial as well as assessed the operating level and only is accepted if everything goes smoothly On the contrary, it will be repaired until the quality and operation are deemed to be well - When the checking results of all items are well-operated, items will be taken over for acceptance XII/ CONCLUSION With the nowadays trend of development, Informatics is the significant breakingthrough of human headway If there is not informatics, for sure, the development of society is not reached the high level as these days Informatics in general and Network cable in particular, together, support greatly for the development of Companies, among them is Thien Long Stationery Group As realizing the importance of this trend, Board of Directors of Thien Long Group has no ponderation of investing in the renovation and improvement Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), Server, Email, etc… This project was very successful with right schedule as well as quality It also contributes in great ratio to the development as well as brings the benefits for Thien Long Group Reference documents - Curriculum of Prof BRIAN O`REILLY - Project Manager of Olaf Passenheim TABLE OF CONTENTS -o0o - I/PROJECT INTRODUCTION .2
