Data Communication, Evaluate the performance of communication
Hi, I would like your help in the below question:
Scenario
Mr Paul Rainer sits in his office at Avon Cosmetics, in Salford Quays. Mr Rainer is
Vice President of corporate MIS and his mind is moving to communications. His
Enthusiasm is infectious and all the executives in the company (world-wide) want to
Be using the latest technology. Avon uses networked P.C’s throughout the
Organisation.
While Avon is best known for the door to door beauty business, the company also
Includes a thriving health-care and direct-response divisions. Recent acquisitions
Include Giorgio Inc. and Parfums Stern.
The MIS department has been set up for two years and has a charter to better manage
The company’s corporation. The MIS team has interviewed executives from all around
The world to find out hat they need from communications. On the other hand
Employees from the bottom up have filed in questionnaires to identify their perceived
Requirements of the communication system.
So what do they need?
• The company has executives world-wide, the cost and time spent travelling is a
Constant drain on resources. An idea that has been identified is Video
Conferencing. They need you to explain the requirements and theories behind
Implementing this for the company. These are IT professionals, they want the in’s
And out’s not just a general introduction.
Task One
Produce a paper that fulfils the statements above.
• Marketing – are producing materials; posters, videos and audio tracks. They need
To send these in the most efficient way possible, UK base only to begin with.
Task Two
Explain and cost communication requirements for connecting Salford-Birmingham-
London for the marketing departments.
• General office staffs want to share files and have email.
Task Three
What is the minimum requirement for a communication system with this capability?
Task Four
Explain to the Directors of the company the trade off on all levels you have
Documented between ideal and acceptable performance. You also need to distinguish
Between users’ perceived and actual business needs, would you as an IT professional
Recommend the implementation of all the communication levels the employees say
They require.
Thank you,
