Introduction and Written Recommendations
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.
