Assignment #2
Network Purchase Plan

I work at a marketing company. Because we are in the business of computing data and connecting people and ideas, we rely heavily on computer networking to complete our day to day business. We survey data of individuals to help determine marketing strategies that will bring more demand as well as send and receive proposals and visuals virtually. It is time for a company upgrade as we transfer from stationary work to a more mobile work force. We will be purchasing six iPads and three computers as well as upgrades in systems that we already have. Management plans to collect information in a test run to see if employees work better from the iPads, with intent of purchasing more at a later time if the data shows more production. We collected all our findings from https://www.neweggbusiness.com/t/networking/id-23

 Reason: We want to keep things in the office compatible. Universal apple products throughout the office allow for easier and more compatible communication inside and outside of the home office. The all in one PC is small and allows for more room int the office. It has good memory and storage that will be enough for our business needs. The current computers that we have are outdated and take up space with less storage and visual surface area.
