Unit Project

Module: Removable Media

 

Description of Problem

A customer comes into your shop. He has a small Real Estate franchise. He would like to purchase some form of removable storage that could be used to make things easier in his business. The files he’s using are too big for floppies. They can use USB, but they want something more reliably secure. USB drives have been left around by employees, and even lost. The data is too sensitive to risk that happening.

Current Needs

Removable storage that can be used to store large files, work with both MAC and PC operating systems, will work in laptops, cameras, and video cameras.

 

They will probably need more than one type of storage to handle this.

Interviews with employees

After you have completed the jargon and list of questions you need to have answered, see me and I’ll give you the rest of this information.

Expansion plans/Future needs

The company plans to expand. The interviews will help you understand what they need.
