Literature Review

Upgrading company computer

There are many companies that are not performing the way that it should. This problem maybe because the company is using outdated computer to perform their daily tasks. As technology progress at a rapid rate standards are always changing and business are consistently faced with the decision of whether to upgrade their computers. It might be expensive to acquire new hardware and software for business computer. However, as with any investment, you will need to put in order to get something out of it.

By upgrading old company computer to modern ones the company might be able to save money in the long run. One of the benefits of using an upgraded computer is that it increases productivity. New computer system may offer significant improvement or changes for improving employee productivity (Vitez, 2010). The phrase “time is money” come into play. If new model computer can make the job run quicker and better, then in the long run it can it is a money saver and maker. Faster systems can result in more processing, less customer wait time (Goessl, 2010). Another benefit that comes from using an upgraded company computer is it might have better internet security. Some of the latest model computers are built with the latest internet security that will protect the user from viruses and hacker while they are online.

Companies need to do careful system analysis when purchasing new equipment. Understanding the process, goal the equipment is going to be use for and the daily task is an essential part of the upgrading process. Without a basic understanding of these steps the upgraded equipment might not provide the efficiency that it should.

Plan
This proposal is to have Entergy Nuclear Corporation upgrade their outdated computers to newer models, by doing this the company will see a difference in the speed and performance with the tasks that they are doing.
Development
In order for this project to be successful, programmers and designer will need detail information on the various activities the computer will be performing on a daily base. So that Dell can create the best computer to fit the company’s needs.
The topics that will be discussed are: * Can the computer perform multiple duties at the same time * How fast can those duties be perform * Is it protected for online usage

To do list: * Gather information on the basic function that the computer will be performing on a daily base * Design a cost efficient model for testing * Send model to customer for additional feedback on where improvement needs to be implemented * Implement the improvement and see finish units to the customer.

Budget This plan will only cost your company $100,000 to replace 200 outdated computer units and install the latest design that we at Dell have design for your company’s needs. Included in the cost is the shipping and handling fees, so if there is any damage to any unit on arrival we will replace it free of cost. A 2 year internet protection agreement to keep your system protected from spyware while using the internet. The latest in Microsoft office for the everyday business use, as well as a 4 year technical support agreement for any assistance. Dell will also offer a 3 year Business warranty for the purchasing of 100 units of more. This warranty will cover any issues that will affect the hardware or software of the computer over a 3 year period.

Discussion We at Dell are here to help your company improve in the performance and productivity of its computer systems. We recently took a look at the systems your company uses, and found out that it was outdated. Employees are have problems getting their jobs done on a timely manner because the system is not performing the way that it use to when it was first install. Some employees had to redo work that was already done because the system froze up on them, they had to work loner hour to get the daily duties done. With the proposal that I have, Dell will design a computer that fits the needs of your company, these new system are design to increase the performance and productivity of your employees work on a daily base. So more work can be done n a faction of the time it normally took.
