Scenario 1
(Home office PC)
Using the specification given on the task sheet I will recommend hardware, software and peripherals Paul can use in order to achieve the work-style given (Home-based office). I will take into consideration the constraints; such as lack of space in his ‘small box room’. As a postage destination is not included, I will only include the retail price of the product without p&p.
Hardware
According to Paul’s requirements he requires a printer, scanner and a photocopier. As a compact solution I have chosen an all-in-one PSC (Printer Scanner Copier), which I have listed below.

There is little or none weight difference between these models. As the dimensions are not supplied a direct comparison cannot be made between them; though it is quite clear from the images that this printer is longer in width.
Software
Paul’s requirements also specify that he may be working with documents containing pictures, diagrams and/or presentations. As these are the types of documents which are supported by Microsoft® Office™ I will recommend it to Paul.
Microsoft Office 2007 – Small Business Edition

This edition of the Office series includes Accounting Express 2008, Publisher 2007 and Outlook 2007 all of which are add-ons over the Standard and Home and Student editions. Additionally, or more conveniently, this copy of Office can be installed on more amounts of machines – which can be an advantage if Paul decides to expand his business in the future.
I would suggest an alternative, but there is no need to. This is one of the lowest priced Office 2007 with the functionality which Paul’s small business would both require and benefit from.
Internet
As Paul requires a high-speed internet connection, enabling him to download and upload his work, I conclude that a parallel broadband would best-suit

Introduction Sarah Donohoe, manufacturing engineering manager of the network laser printer division at Hewlett-Packard Company (HP), listened intently to her colleagues at the project review meeting for the development of their latest new product. With Sarah at the meeting were Jane Schushinski, marketing manager, Leo Linbeck, head of product design, and David Hooper, the controller of the division.

Laser printers are usually bigger than inkjet printers. A printer can print one sided or double sided. Most small offices purchase an all in one inkjet printer which means that this printer can print from a computer and can be used as a photocopier it is also able to scan documents and send fax through the internet. Printers need to be connected to a computer or computer network either wirelessly or through a cable to be able to print documents from one or more computers. Big company have often a range of different printers and copiers available depending on what is needed by the staff: fast big quantity printing or precise high quality picture and photo printing.

There are various types of equipment that the company should look for when considering this network. The first item to look at when considering equipment is the Operating system and software that we would need. Next, the group took into consideration the type of server the company needs to make this network a reality. Another thing that we looked at is the possibility of having ThinClients over regular desktops for all workstations. Of course, it was taken into consideration that some employees would not want ThinClients. So, we show the type of tower we plan to place into those spaces, along with any peripheral device for both. Then, we will look at the network devices that will go into each building that include switches, routers, repeaters, hubs, and wireless access points. Finally, the group will note guidelines for choosing a local ISP at each site. Each Item outlined helps to build a network based on the specifications given by the company.
The proposed network is designed to serve DesignIT which consist 56’x36’ office space, 4 cubicles, 1 office, 1 server room, 1 receptionist desk and 1 conference room.
Main Building – will require 7 computer stations with the most recent version of Operating System to ensure compatibility and networking capabilities between each stations and the ability to communicate between the two locations. They will require three servers, one for web hosting, one for database management and one for emergency failure of any one server. These stations should be networked to communicate with one another for proper data connection especially in the event of any one computer station crashing. Each work station will need to be linked to each server for web hosting and data backup. The cabling used for inside the main building should be 100Base TX cat 5 UTP, for Wi-Fi and WLAN with guest access that is highly secure and reliable, we recommend a device that is capable of supporting up to 15 different users with 450 Mbps. There needs to be 4 printer services in this building. Printer 1 should have
Good business accounting softwares do a few things well: Track income and expenses, manage estimates, invoices and customer payments, and give you a clear year-end financial reports. Really large accounting applications also allow you to create and manage inventory and track the cost of goods sold. FreshBooks excels in almost all these areas, but only has 19 reports. Although this is much less than you find in most office accounting
Miller Inc is seeking for a Microsoft Office Training company to come up with a design and implementation program for its employees for the Microsoft Office Suite programs, Access, Word, Excel, Power Point and Outlook.

(This measurement was an overall company wide cost savings in all departments.) Another $1 million was saved in labor costs as a result of using electronic forms for the 401k plans, employee stock purchase plan, and the stock options plan. To implement the plan a total of twelve servers were used (hardware cost being about $300,000). Developmental cost over two years was approximately $8 million. Ongoing technology support runs $765,000 annually. By demonstrating this in his book he proves that by implementing a paperless society the cost effectiveness out weights the initial cost of establishing the paperless office.
