Create a 2- to 3-page document (to submit in Blackboard) to support the Appliance Warehouse Service Plan that includes the following:

• Testing Plan: Create a testing plan to manage the systems through QA standards. Include a testing plan for each part of the new service you’ve identified, such as, scheduling, invoicing, and reporting. For each part identified, include in your testing plan an action to be tested, along with an expected outcome.
•  Implementation Plan: Indicate whether you will use parallel, direct, phased, or pilot changeover strategies. Explain your reasoning. For Implementation recommendations, refer to section 11.9, “Installation,” in Ch. 11 of Systems Analysis and Design.
• Training Plan: Indicate what a training plan would include for affected employees, such as appointment setters, technicians, management, and the parts department. Include a plan for all employees (or specific departments) affected by the new system implementation.

Disadvantages of Saas
Data security risks; businesses are required to keep their information private as the provider is the one storing the company data.
Termination of service; Businesses can lose their data and files if the provider terminates their services for reasons such as lawsuits and bankruptcy.
Performance challenges; Software on local machines may run faster compared to Saas being hosted in a remote data centre.
Limited Applications; Saas relies on multiple software solutions.

Saas is associated with limited applications, a number of business that use SaaS grow daily and there are software applications that do not offer a hosted platform, the company will have to be hosted on site especially if it relies on multiple software sources.
Software in local machines are likely to run at a faster speed when compared to Saas that is hosted inn remote data centre.
Organizations are likely to face data security risks since data is stored by a provider.

Advantages of An in-house customized software
Users of the program will find the custom-made program more friendly.
The organization is provided with a greater control, which is crucial if the business ha some specific needs that an average commercial product can fulfill.
It also makes the interface more easy to use and provides easy accessibility to knowledgeable support.

Recommendation
I would recommend the organization to use SAAS software;
SaaS can be accessed through a browser and Wifi.
It also provides the user with more opportunities to use the software.
Customized software can only be accessed through company grounds and eliminates the possibility of accessing it from home or the road.
SaaS is easily accessed through the internet and can be maintained through the company hard drives.

There SaaS provider can easily manage accessibility to the application which comprise of security, performance and maintenance.
The organization can easily access and manage the application which include maintenance, performance and security.

Requirements
Audited Data security control
Track record of high availability
Multiple ,secure, disaster tolerant data centers
It should have integrated applications
Device authentication
Penetrating testing
Vendor should ask for an inbound hole in the firewall

SaaS is outsourced at a data centre, data security is a number one issue of concern. Ensure that SAAS providers undergo regular third party application security audits.
The next is the buyers system availability, the providers should provide the organization with a annual availability figure.
Multiple and secure data centers is also crucial for the SaaS provider to achieve availability. The systems should be integrated as opposed to not stove pipes and ensure that buyers provide them with the integration upfront and ensure vendors can provide the combinations they need.
SaaS security systems exchange data with on premise devices and off-premise hosted applications, hence hey require connections through corporate firewalls.
Device authentication, the system should contain authentication and authorization procedures that can protect it.The company should obtain digital certification from a trusted certificate authority and networked devices.
One should ask Saas provider to identify and which firm provides penetration testing and how they can incorporate the results to their product development cycle.

Communication Plan
Setting communication objectives
Setting key messages for every stakeholder
Defining and prioritizing target audience
Setting Additional key messages
Developing effective communication tactics for each target stakeholders
Allocating budgets and responsibilities
Developing quarterly communication calendars

Communication objectives should support the organization I order to achieve the sated goals. The stakeholders should be clear about where the organization is going and what needs to be achieved.
Key messages for the organization should be set as conflicing ones can create confusion.
Stakeholders should be defined and prioritized as there are those individuals who are critical in the organizations ongoing success and one can have some manageable contact with stakeholders.
