Scenario
You have been hired as a business analyst for a well-known design firm (Designz). Currently, they utilize
technology for their day-to-day operations but not to analyze data to help with making business
decisions. Your task is to convince management that the usage of business analytics would be a great
benefit to the business and it would help the business to make well-informed decisions and thus action
plans that would align with the business’s strategic planning.
The firm currently has technology in place but does not have any connected systems. The databases are
all independent of each other but they do utilize a client/server environment. The firm currently has one
location and it is looking to add a second location in another part of the state, but is unsure as to
whether it would be beneficial to the firm.

1. Create an implementation plan to integrate business analytics into your organization.
2. Create a backup proposal in case management does not approve your initial proposal. The backup
proposal should have at least 3 changes different from the original plan.
