Question: As a team, your initial task is to design an IT Architecture for your small startup company. The company will provide a trading platform and Buy, Sell, and Hold (BSH) recommendations for all of the stocks in the Russell 2,000. Your recommendations are provided at the end of the business day for your Silver customers, hourly for your Gold members, and every minute for your Platinum members. As such, your computing platform will need real-time access to stock market data on which you will base your recommendations. You may integrate the services from other providers into your platform (for example, stock background information (e.g., Morningstar), current and historical stock prices, current and historical news stories, and a stock trading platform.

Design an IT Architecture that only consumes a little of the VC funds (which would leave very little for other expenses, like your salaries). In addition, you will need to design an architecture that is in compliance with all applicable security and other standards - to ensure your customer's funds are kept safe from hackers.

You will also need to design an IT Architecture that can quickly adapt to an influx of new customers when you have your "SuperBowl moment" (i.e., a big influx of new customers). That moment will come for you when the stock market declines by 10% sometime in the next 3 months, and your advertisements on a popular financial news channel generates a lot of interest in your stock-picking software during difficult times in the market.
