Hi! Would you able to help me put together this assignment?<

Hi! Would you able to help me put together this assignment?<br/>ITs

the final report, all of the papers to go with it are attached.
I need help putting together the final report. All of the previous assignments and the case study are posted as well. Essentially its just putting together all of the assignments I have already completed and organizing them and making it the final product.

Teachers Comment: Now, you are being asked to put all the pieces together and to develop about 4 new areas that you have not already done. I would expect that if you did not complete some of these areas, then you will have more work this week. I will be looking to see that you organize your report accordingly and that all of the areas are reported on in a systematic way. In all honestly, this should really be a cut and paste with some fine tuning to make things systematic.

The proposed systems design is documented in the form of a Final Systems Report. This report defines objectives and how the proposed system design will satisfy them. The primary purpose of the report is to inform and gain approval to proceed with the project. It should be presented in terms that management and users understand. The Final System Report will be compiled from the previously submitted Staged Assignments, supplemented with information about implementation personnel requirements and time and cost estimates.  Rather than paste together all of the previous assignments, the outline below should be followed and will require you to re-arrange sections of the previous assignments.
All of the information you need to complete the projects in this class is not provided in the case study.  In the discussion area of the classroom, there is a discussion titled “Case Study Interview Questions” where you can pose questions about the case study, as if you were interviewing the people in the case study organization.  Any information that you need that is not included in the case study should be asked about in this discussion.  Responses from the faculty member on behalf of the case study organization will be available for everyone in the class.
Use the case study and the Case Study Interview Questions discussion, your previously submitted staged assignments (including the feedback received), and resources and source documents (previously submitted documents, as corrected) listed below to create a Final System Report in the format provided.  Note that sections are re-organized and some paragraphs may need to be re-written using earlier content but presented as required here.  Items highlighted in yellow indicate sections that need to be added to or created for this Report.

IFSM 461: Systems Analysis and DesignPrecision Electronic Parts, Inc.Case StudyIntroducTonThis case study will be used for a series of staged assignments.It should be thoroughly read andunderstood prior to working on any of the assignments.Se±ngPrecision Electronic Parts (PEP), Inc., is a small private business that has retained you to assist in thedevelopment of a new billing and payment system and associated processes.BackgroundPEP is a small, private specialized electronics company in Kansas.
