1. Unit 10 - BusinessProject(Final Draft)
Aftercareful consideration,Iwouldrecommendthateachoffice computerbe upgradedtoWindows7
Enterprise (Microsoft,2013) acrossall systems forthe mostcomprehensive,modern,andsecure OS,
withthe full benefitsof Office 365for Small Businessaddedtotheirsuite. The Office 365includesafull
suite of Office Professional 2013, OutlookforSmall Business,SharePoint,andLync (Microsoft,2013). I
wouldinclude trainingatthe nearestMicrosoftStore forall employeesonthe use of Lync and the main
Office programs.Special trainingforSharePointforthe ownerandhismanagers (Microsoft,2013)
(Microsoft,2013).
For file storing,the company shouldgetalarge storage capacitySkydrive (Microsoft,2013),such as
Skydrive +200, that isdesignedforall employeestoaccess,thisgivesthe companythe longevity,ease of
access,mobility,andcapabilityforall employeestoremotelyaccessall filesacrossthe company’s
network. Thisallowsthe contractorstoproperlygauge customerinformation,payroll,and accounting.
For protectionandsecurityof all digital assets, Iwouldsuggestpurchasing CoSignCentral with
SharePointbyARX (ARX,2013) andthe SSL EV Certificate fromSymantec(Symantec,2013) for
protection of theirwebsiteandassets. InadditionIwouldhave you purchase EndPointProtectionSmall
BusinessfromSymantec(Symantec,2013) forfull logical andhardware protectionagainsttheft,external
damage,andhackers.
For the networkitself andall communicationssolutions,hiringanadditional employeewhospecializes
and istrainedinPC technical supporttomaintainandcontrol the network wouldkeepall workforce
solutionsrunningassmoothlyaspossible.A star/hubtopologydesignedwithinthe mainbuildingwould
be preferable usingCat6 SSTP(Screened ShieldedTwistedPair) Ethernet/networkcable if atall possible
as thiswill allowthe mostefficientdeliveryof dataacross the networkwithlittleinterference. To
preventanyor minimal lossof data,use a hybridRAID0/5 (speedandredundancywhile allowingfull
data backup) data serverrunningWindowsServer2012 (Microsoft,2013) witha UPS powerprotection
systemforthe servers. Iwouldaddthe possibilityof Small BusinessInternetsolutionsfrom
Comcast/XFinity (Comcast,2013) as theycan provide anythingfortheirofficesinvolvingphone,
Ethernet/Internet,andbusinesstelevisionsolutions.
For mobile andoffice solutions acomplete upgrade of all hardware forall devicesand the DirectConnect
systemfromSprint’sNextel. (Sprint,2013).
I wouldrecommendaddingsocial mediasuchasFacebook,Twitter,andPinteresttothe company’s
portfoliotoenhance overall audience reachandmake iteasierforcustomersto reachthe company
(Facebook,2013) (Twitter,2013) (Pinterest,2013).
