As a start-up, your client’scompany is relatively small and has a limited budget. There are only 10 employees, including a few creative directors, graphic designers, sales staff, a financialaccountant, and an office administrator, with the entrepreneur acting as CEO. The current IT budget cannot exceed $25,000 and ideally should come in as farunder that number as possible. MilleniAds will produce customized sales flyers, brochures, and other branded items, such as letterhead and business cards, thatapply a youthful, fresh perspective targeting millennial demographics. Therefore, the company needs the ability to store and manipulate digital images and toproduce physical copies of their products for their clients. The CEO wants to keep track of inventory, sales, and expenses digitally, but she does not anticipatehaving very complex records for the first year. She projects having only a dozen or so accounts but hopes to scale up in the coming years. It would be ideal tohave a simple and user-friendly system for sharing information and files between employees. Many of the employees are millennials themselves who haveindicated that their current desktop PCs are limiting their capabilities and that they prefer using their phones and other mobile devices for their professional andpersonal responsibilities. Two of the ten employees will operate primarily outside of the office, soliciting business from regional firms, and they will need toaccess company information while on the road, in their home offices, and at customer sites.
