You have recently started working for Contoso, Inc., a rapidly expanding nationwide insurance corporation. Growth over the last few years has meant that the company now has more than 400 sales representatives spread across the country.
Expansion plans will continue, and you need to submit a proposal to your manage for upgrading some of the older laptop computers used by the field sales represetatives. You have taken an inventory, which shows the following installed operating systems: Operating System Quantity Windows XP SP3 Professional 193 Windows Vista Enterprise 70 Windows 7 Ultimate 110 Windows 8 Enterprise 47 What recommendations would you suggest in your report to your manager? |
Managing FOUR DIFFERENT OS'S across a distributed network could cause you and
your manager a headache. You should recommend to your manager that you want to RATIONALIZE THE INVENTORY during this growth phase of the enterprise to maintain only the currently MAINSTREAM supported operating systems. This would require the replacement or upgrade of the laptops, which currently use Windows XP Professional and Windows Vista. You can justify this recommendation because you can obtain significant savings in many areas of IT support, including the testing, approval, and deployment of Windows Updates |
