Rirodan Manufacturing Telephony and Data Network Upgrade Proposal
Team A is proposing a thorough upgrade to Riordan’s phone and data networks. Our proposal will cover a description of the new system, its components and benefits to Riordan, as well as explain the requirements driving the need for the upgrade. We will cover the information used in the phone and data upgrades and discuss any security and ethical concerns of the system. We will be providing Riordan with diagrams of information flow and system components and business process changes incurred with the implementation of the new system. We will review the web and mobile access elements of the new phone and data networks and how the system will be acquired and maintained. We will discuss the strategic role the system will play in the company and certain requirement driving the projects creation and use. Overall, we will present a compelling and convincing presentation, justifying the costs and changes associated with upgrading Riordan current voice and data networks.
Riordan’s Telephone, Data, and Software Needs Riordan needs an integrated communication platform to remain competitive and relevant in today’s business environment. Riordan’s current telephone and data systems are segregated and antiquated. The switch to Cisco’s Unified Communications Manager over the current VoIP configuration will allow Riordan to fully communicate within its own entities and create new opportunities for the company. Riordan’s bandwidth is slow compared to the current speed offered by telecom providers and will need to be improved upon. Riordan is also in need of new data management software that will make improvements to employee, customer, sales, and company data administration. Riordan is also in need of improved security protocols, software encryption, and procedures to protect against network security
