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. |
