Introduction
International plastics, Inc. is known to produce plastics in
different countries. Some of these countries include Georgia,
Headquarters in China, Michigan and headquarters in US. The
industries have been successful because of wide range of
networks they use and use Internet Service Providers and VPNs.

During the upgrading of IT infrastructure, it was noted that
current resource planning software was needed which was
supposed to incorporate customer relations management as well
as supply chain management. This paper will analyze and
address how this will be achieved, impacts of IT in international
plastics, ethical concerns, security concerns and benefits of
business performance.
Summary of IT infrastructure
Enterprise resource management system is a set of applications
which is used to support external business operations, integrate
internal organization’s applications and link to external
innovators and other partners (Osswald, 2016). International
Plastics, Inc is using SAPERP hosted in San Jose, headquarters
of CA. there is therefore network human interface resource
system, operation systems data, customer information and
finance systems. The upgrades will ensure that there is
mitigation of independent, corporal servers to practical machine
in the environment. All these recommendations would in turn
ensure that there is smooth means of data redundancy and
solutions in case of data failover. This would be made possible
by VM hosting in implementing real time analysis of the
system, transactional backups, snapshot ting and other related
problem to NAS devices.
Ethical concerns
According to Osswald, (2016) Ethical and regulatory measures
have always been addressed in order to protect the environment.
With the increased regulatory measures, companies need to
adapt to the new IT systems to ensure that there is healthy
workflow and healthy interactions. Working with the new
technology may pose internet dangers to the users. It is
therefore important for International plastics to install high
quality security systems to ensure safety to all users. Internal
plastics, Inc has integrated It use to ensure that the processes
are well maintained and there is streamlined flow of all
processes in the organization which in turn increases the
organizational productivity.

Improved business performance
The development of IT infrastructure has lead to improvement
of different sectors. It has improved security sectors, storage
management, operation management as well as other
infrastructure. The application of IT is able to work
independently and produce consistent information (Osswald,
2016). The implementation of the recommended changes would
ensure that there are quality tools for quality data and research,
integration tools and high quality and timely data delivery to
ensure that all requirements are met fully. Storage management
systems would ensure that there is managed data storage
capacity, controlled performance and data available for reliable
uses. This would ensure that the company’s objectives have
been attained fully.
Current Security concerns in International. Inc
With the current IT system used in International plastics, Inc,
the security sector is ensured of protection and high data
management (Osswald, 2016). Not only is the protection of
information but there are also adequate protection of the
environment due to adequate recycling of plastics with the new
technology. The users and all customers are assured of quality
goods and protection from harmful resources. Government has
also invested in this industry to ensure that all stakeholders are
fully protected.

Introduction
The spine and backbone of correspondence that interfaces
workers, gadgets and secures protection of that explicit
endeavor is enterprise network. International Plastics Inc. (IP),
must grasp a decent system topology and structure that permits
control of every one of its exchanges from over its auxiliaries.
In such manner, in accordance with the proposals, the IP
enterprise network associates its base camp in China to its
corporate base and every one of its auxiliaries and offers
answers to reduce the complex nature of activity costs and
enhance development, also enhance the status of security. The
firm is set to profit by the enhancement of versatility of its
Information Technology framework. For quality consolidation
of the new enterprise network of the organization, the
procedural illustration underneath and its examination offer
insight in the development and commencement of the topology.

For ideal tasks, the base will be overhauled from the
100baseT802.3u to 1000baseT to enhance the speed of
transmission. Notwithstanding that, there will be change to
cloud servers to wipe out any requirement for physical system
servers. The framework will utilize a mesh WAN topology that
is important for lessening time delay.
The highlights enhance the adaptability of the enterprise
network. Also, the features do allow the system to work on
advanced routing capabilities making it compatible with rising
network topologies. (Tiso, &Teare, 2011).
Risks to the Previous Network
The network had the following risks
i. Low connectivity because of the application of multiple
switches,
ii. Experiencing downtime resulting from lack of security
frameworks,
iii. Servers faced destruction leading to high chances of poor

connectivity and accessibility,
iv. Poor efficiency in remote operations as a result of loss of
packets during transmission,
v. Increase in operational and maintenance cost was a major risk
of the previous enterprise network,
vi. Signal loss and weak reception because of the use of
physical servers.
Recommendations to Improve the Network
For improving voice and data transmission, the network must
upgrade 100baseT802.3u to 1000baseT, an incorporation that
will improve speed of transmission hence reducing losses thus
having the eventual enhancement of quality voice and data. Data
losses are greatly reduced when transmission is effective and
reliable. Video quality is enhanced through the application of
good layer 3 switches that help by improving video and voice
convergence. In addition to that, using 1000 base T as the main
backbone of communication enhances transmission, minimizes
losses of signals and the eventual reception of data, voice and
video signals. The cloud servers as well play a key role in
ensuring there is minimal losses in signal transmission. In most
cases, the use of cloud servers reduces interference of signals
because of lack of conflict of wavelengths among other factors.
For these reasons, the network greatly improves the
performance of the International Plastics Inc. company.
Conclusion
A good network should enable comprehensive communication at
all times. International Plastics Inc. enterprise network achieves
that objective through the incorporation of fundamental features
to its existing network. Upgrading to 1000base T for the main
Ethernet backbone, as well as using layer 3 switches and IPV6
protocols will improve the networks performance on the
transmission of data, voice and video. Moving to cloud servers
reduces losses of signal strength hence the eventual strong
signal at the terminals of a receptor antennae. For these reasons,
the new enterprise network is the best for the International
Plastics Inc. Company.

Mobile Computing FAQ
Team 3
Brenda Hafer, Arthur Jackson, Juvenda Smart
CMGT/554
December 10, 2018
Matthew Manconi

Q: What is mobile computing?
A: Mobile computing enables people to access information
and data from anywhere with a Wi-Fi or other network
connection, such as the cloud, a local area network (LAN) or
wireless local area network (WLAN). It transfers video, data
and voice files over the network using a smartphone, tablet or
laptop (Bucki, J., 2018).
Companies that employ mobile computing allows people to
be connected 24/7 even when they are not in the office. Video
conferencing can be done with members in branch offices in
different states or in other countries, allowing face to face
collaboration that would be difficult or impossible otherwise.
Q: How mobile computing is integrated into an enterprise IT
infrastructure?
A: In an explanation of how can we define mobile computing?
This is a way in which data is transmitted where no physical
data is used as a means to link it with transmitters (Esler, et. al.
1999). Mobile phones do provide limited resources in terms how
they can use the power, how the battery power holding capacity
is and the lifespan of that battery, cloud computing when
combined with the mobility will handle limited resources. It is
seen to grow at a higher pace being considered as the primary
way to connecting to the internet. By this, we do see how the
use of mobile phones more so the smartphones taking the role of
computers (Esler et. al. 1999).
How is IT integrated into the IT infrastructure? This involves
link of enterprise infrastructure with different mobile devices,
for example, the pagers, notebook, tablets, and also the cell
phones. We are all aware of different trends that have been
followed in the evolution of computers which have been

gradual, and still, the process is on continuation. Mobile
computing benefits have already been seen. It is delivering high
benefits and higher improvements are under through different
software and applications evolution (Rolim et al 2010,
February).
It is evident that being the last evolution stage of computers;
mobile computing has taken the world entrepreneurial activities
with the storm. the new applications are beneficial to the clients
since they are able to understand their needs, therefore, putting
on the strategies of closing the gaps in the enterprise.
Q: What are the technical challenges and risks of supporting
multiple types of mobile devices?
A: There are several technical challenges and risks involved
here. Theft and loss of data are one of the issues. Another threat
is Mobile devices which are prone to be stolen. For example,
Mobile devices can be accessed within a company by employees
and other insiders (Top 7 Risks of Enterprise Mobility, 2018).
There are times when the owner of a loss phone gets returned to
them, but unfortunately, there are individuals who will gain
access into the private information on the found mobile device.
Also, another risk is devices which are compromised.
Continuously monitoring device compliance is one way to keep
this from happening and ensuring if compromised it is blocked
so no one can access the business applications and networks.
Unintentional threats can occur from downloading application
without knowing who developed the app which can have access
to companies’ system. Mobile security is essential and will
continue to improve as business data is accessed by multiple
devices and hackers trying to find different ways to gain access
(Problems, 2018).

International Plastics Inc. is a corporation that is known for its
manufacture of plastic parts which are customized, plastic fans
and plastic beverage bottles and other containers. The company
originally started its operations in the United States but over
time due to the increase in demand by more customers grown to
other three locations across the world. The other locations are a
Plastic container plant in Albany, a fan plant in China and
plastic parts plant in Pontiac. The corporate headquarters of the
Inc. are based in San Jose. Due to the expansion, there was need
to make changes to the original design and networks so as to
accommodate the growing changes and allow for future
expansion.
The company uses state of the art technology which is up to
date to ensure that the customer needs are met satisfactorily by
ensuring that the packaging team advises on the best solutions

to the client. Being that the company is committed to excellence
in serving its customers, International Plastics Inc. ensures that
it has all the required documents to show that it has met ISO
certifications to ensure that the business is not at risk closing
down due to non-compliance. Making changes to the network
that the company uses will help International Plastics Inc.
reduce the operation costs and those of maintenance of
equipment. The changes will make it possible for the company
to be eligible to compete with other similar organizations in the
market. The WAN design that International Plastics Inc. has
adopted uses a star arrangement which ensures that all the
subsidiaries to the company are interconnected in one place.
When one plant is affected by a network hitch in such an
arrangement then the whole plants that are interconnected from
across the world will likely go down too. To avoid the problem
of having the four plants or three of them going down at once,
International Plastics Inc. should consider a network system
which has a main source but several outlets to avoid having a
single point of collapse when there is a failure in one of the
systems. The plants at Pontiac and Albany almost run on the
same hardware where they have their own servers from a single
point. Similarly the plants in the HQ and those in China almost
run in the same hardware by having an identical infrastructure.
The plants should be grouped together regarding the type of
setup that they operate on and have a separate service provider
to avoid any interruption to the plants all at once.

International Plastics Inc. Manufacturing E-Commerce
Integration Proposal
In today’s society, E-Commerce has led the way in terms of
collaboration between organizations as well as commercial
transactions between and organization and the average
consumer. When organizations think of E-Commerce, they
usually relate it to the transactions of purchasing and selling
goods in an online environment. On the same token, there is a
lot more than meets the eye. According to Forbes, “a little over
50% of the population in the United States is more receptive to
the idea of purchasing goods online vice a brick and mortar
store.” (Forbes, 2018) In other words, there is a growing trend

of an online shopping experience that has caused organizations
to reevaluate their business strategies. Some of the trends that
stem from E-Commerce range from block chain-Enabled AI to
additional video content showcasing an organization’s products
and services. In light of these trends, International Plastics must
also adapt with the changes in time in order to stay afloat while
maintaining their customer base for plastic goods.
In this paper, a proposal will be created with the intentions of
incorporating E-Commerce into International Plastics’ mission
objectives. The proposal will have three options for the
organizations board to consider. In addition, functional
requirements will be annotated to define exactly how E-
Commerce will be utilized. Finally, justification will be given
regarding the requirements for the organization.
E-Commerce and International Plastics
Long gone are the days of traveling to brick and mortar
organizations in order to purchase, sale and trade goods. In the
past this was the relationship between businesses and consumers
as well as business to business. Most organizations look at
ecommerce and begin to see the various opportunities available
and how using ecommerce improves upon the overall success of
an organization. International Plastics is no exception and
would like to venture into the world of ecommerce to bring
about a better tomorrow for the organization as a whole. The
company already has a global reach with the China site as the
backup headquarters. However, in order to get the word out to
more consumers, an entirely different approach is needed to
capture their attention. This is where ecommerce comes in.
Most businesses are aware of a few benefits that ecommerce
offers.
These range from saving time, money, to providing quality
customer service. Per logicspot.com, “improved customer
satisfaction and knowledge management are among the

additional benefits of incorporating ecommerce.”
(logicspot.com, 2014) To ensure that the organization explores
ecommerce efficiently, an ecommerce taskforce/division within
International Plastics’ Information Systems Department will be
developed. The responsibilities of this division include focusing
on functional requirements that encompass Search Engine
Optimization (SEO), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and
Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
E-Commerce Integration Option 1 (Netsuite)
There are numerous options that International Plastics’ could
incorporate into their overall business strategy. However, after
thorough research, there are only three distinct options that
would be in the organization’s best interest to use. The first of
these options would be Netsuite. An article taken from the
Netsuite online site suggests that, “this ecommerce integration
option provides for real-time orders and inventory.”
(netsute.com, 2018) What this means is that customers can order
plastic goods from any of the four International plastics
locations and see the procurement process as it occurs. This
gives clients a warm and fuzzy feeling that their purchases are
handled with care and will be delivered on time. The
functionality of CRM comes in to play in this instance. Netsuite
also has the capability of handling both Business to Business
(B2B) and Business to Consumer (B2C) transactions. It can also
be used to integrate enterprise resource planning (ERP).
By choosing to go with the Netsuite option, International Plastic
would be able to develop a more robust relationship with their
clients’ at all four sites. This would gain client trust as well as
the strong possibility of client retention for many years to
come. In this day and age, up-to-date information is everything.
International plastic will only survive if it knows its customers
and their needs. On the salesforce.com site, “CRM is known to
paint the most accurate picture of an organization’s current

customers.” (salesforce.com, 2018) This would provide an
intimate bond amongst International Plastic and all clients in
such a way that clients would be virtually like family.
E-Commerce Integration Option 2 (Shopify)
The second ecommerce platform that International Plastics
should consider is known other than Shopify. This integration
tool is very popular amongst businesses today. When compared
to other ecommerce integration tools, such as Magento, Shopify
is one of the most cost effective and scalable ecommerce
instruments around. It has very easy to use customization for
complex environments. This is ideal for International plastics as
each site is located in different geographical locations.
According to shopify.com, “marketing and billing needs are
automated in a way that user intervention is truly transparent.”
(shopify.com, n.d.) Shopify falls along the lines of search
engine optimization. Since marketing is the cornerstone of SEO,
using shopify enhances marketing functional requirements and
branding outside of the organizations main regions.
The advantages here would be increased customer base and
aiding International Plastics in its’ quest to be a worldwide
name in plastic products and services. Some of the other
capabilities with choosing Shopify include but are not limited to
the addition of new areas of interest in regards to sales. This
goes back to the scalability functions of Shopify’s software tool
and the ability to attract the amount of sales for the company.
The tracking of sales, in turn, can be used as trend analysis to
track organizational growth. Shopify’s SEO functionality
ensures that the organization’s success is measured by their
marketing efficiency and service to consumers. The bottom line
is that using this ecommerce standard ensures International
Plastics, as a whole, would be around to see a better and
brighter tomorrow.

E-Commerce Integration Option 3 (BigCommerce)
The third option that should be kept in mind centers on the
BigCommerce ecommerce integration tool. The integration
package of this tool includes the capability of enterprise
resource planning (ERP) and total customization of billing,
shipping, and overall management functionalities. Most
organizations think of enterprise resource planning as a “behind
the scene” type of process that integrates the critical aspects of
a business such as human resources, inventory, and finances.
According to BigCommerce.com, “this ecommerce instrument
also gives the option of listing an organization’s products on
well known social medial platforms such as Facebook and
Amazon.” (BigCommerce.com, 2018) Basically, BigCommerce
uses these social media outlets as an extension for marketing
and promoting an organization’s products. It would be to
International Plastics advantage to use option 3 as it combines
all of the features of the previous options.
This platform also guarantees continuous availability to
consumers 24 hours a day. Since it is primarily cloud-based,
International Plastics would not have to worry about system
maintenance. This would free up needed time, resources, and
man hours that the organization can use to focus on other areas
of the business. Like option 2, BigCommerce is a very
inexpensive and adaptable solution for all types of
organizations.
Conclusion
Throughout the paper, a clear proposal was developed that
would be incorporate E-Commerce into International Plastics’
business endeavors. The proposal outlined three specific options
for the organization’s consideration. Functional requirements
were identified in regards to their usage in each option. Last,

but not least, justifications were given as to the reason why
each of the three options would be a good fit for International
Plastics.
