Week Commencing: 28/02/2011

This week I am beginning work on my artefact. So far I have registered the domain name easy-mobile and have setup the hosting and chosen the framework in which i will be developing the website.

Based on primary/ secondary research carried out I will be using this as a focus point and address what I see there is a demand for and taking this into account then adding functionality to the site.

Moreover aswell as the development of the artefact there is still some writing i need to cover off in order to stay on schedule.

*I will have a progress update by the end of the week.

Week at a glance

This week I am going to begin work on my artefact constructing a prototype of the website. On wednesday I'm visiting Microsoft for the day to meet with a few colleagues to discuss my ideas and a chance for me to ask them some questions.

Today I have sent the second part of my questionarrie out to further expand my research knowledge and hope to capitalise on what responses I get.

This Week

This week I'm finalising my research before making a start on the implementation.

So far I have been in touch with various contacts in different organisations and held discussions to see what their views were on collaboration, communication and the value of backing up data to the cloud using a mobile phone.

By doing primary research it has been extremely helpful and informative when making decisions on what I need to address in order to come up with a viable solution.

Along with primary research I have done extensive research into the target market and what is currently available.

I will be doing a write up to conclude what I found out by the end of this week.

Week In Progress

Following the meeting I had at Microsoft and Supervisor last week it concluded that backing up data from my windows phone (and various other smartphones) wouldnt be possible due to security restrictions placed on them. Therefore I have decided to address a similar solution taking into account the mobile and using cloud based computing/ collaboration but looking at different angle at the GSM phone market.

Aware this market is shrinking due to the growth and success of the smartphone there is still a wealth of people out there who use these types of phone and are not aware that backing them up is possible and could save them a lot problems.

Therefore solution i have come up with is to design a fully functional website taking into account that offers the user i.e. 077.... a way to store personal data of their contacts safely & securely with the possibility of allowing others to view(different levels of access priviliges).

I have yet to finialise my research and form a basic outline of my dissertation which i will be doing for the rest of the week into the next.
