Research necessary equipment required to set up an internet linked computer.
To make use of the Internet, a business must invest into the necessary equipment. First of all, there will need to be hardware in the shape of PCs that connect to the web, using either cabling or wireless technology. The costs of these are falling and if a business buys in mass, then the costs can be reduced further. In addition to the PCs there are the costs of cabling, modems or routers, and printers as well as the software. Chelmsford College is using both wireless and cable internet connection. Students and staff are able to use cable internet on pc and wireless internet on laptops or any other device that has Wi-Fi.
2. Use of internet for business research
Show effective use of search engines
Search engines are slightly complicated programs/tools on the web. They show billions of results generated by an even greater number of queries, and most of use one or more of them several times a day.
The print screen above shows how effective Google is, as I typed in Chelmsford College it shown me immediately what I was looking for. In the first place there is college’s website, on the left Google found out where the college is and shown the telephone number.
3. Use of internet for procurement
Research and select a suitable supplier of an item
I think Staple would be suitable supplier for Chelmsford College as they mostly sell stationary equipment needed to school/college. To improve quality of college’s equipment they could buy laptops from Staples as they have needed preferences and college might get discount if they will buy couple of laptops.
4. Use of internet for promotion
Design a banner advertisement for your company to appear on a search engine.
Banner advertising is a space across the top of a web page, usually with advertising product or services
