Recommending an ICT System for a Company
In this unit I am researching and recommending an ICT system for a
company called Mobile Mania. They have given me specific requirements
in terms of the hardware, software and configuration they want carried
out, in order to make the software easy to use. They have also asked
me to design some templates and macros for their business, using the
software I have recommended.
Another task is to design a website for the business that is made up
of more than one page and that looks professional, with suitable links
between each page. Mobile Mania has set a maximum budget of £2,500 for
the installation of this system. This figure is to include all
hardware and software.
They expect to use the computer system for a variety of everyday
tasks, including routine correspondence, which will include letters to
customers and suppliers. They would like to be able to produce a price
list of the phones and accessories they stock and display coloured
posters in the shop window giving details of special offers.
Once the business is open they anticipate recording details of
customers so they can inform them by letter of special offers or
events. They would also like to computerise their business accounts
and to calculate staff wages.
As well as making sure the hardware and software I recommend fits
their requirements they have given me the following specific tasks:
1. Mobile Mania are going to offer customers mobile phone insurance
and they have negotiated a deal with Link-Up Insurance International
of City House, Moor End Lane, London WC2A 4BG. Customers will be given
a copy of a declaration and a template needs to be set up which could
be completed in the shop and printed straight away when customers buy
their phone.
2. The company also want a template of an order form using the
following information: It should include built-in facilities to
calculate the cost of each order and will show Mobile Mania’s address,
Order Number and Date with space for the Supplier’s name and address.
