IT for an Agricultural Business

R H Donger & Sons

To develop a solution to the ever growing problem in arable farming.

The problem is that; there is no affective software on the market that helps an arable farmer with administration, amongst other business functions.

The system will help to battle paper based storage of information and minimizing administrative workloads.

What’s Required

Create a lengthy list of requirements.  Design stage diagrams such as use cases, state diagrams,

activity diagrams etc. Produce a static system that will show the look of the system

if it was to become dynamic, perhaps including some VBA or HTML depending on how the system would be made best.

Have regular meetings with the client and show minutes. Produce a project management website for the project. Create an example database. Gather a lot of data on the fields to be stored in a database. Communicate with the agronomist to gather useful

information. Look if other software does what I hope and differentiate the

product to make it more customized.
