reasoning
Sales Company:
W. D. Widgets is a small company that sells widgets. They're mostly made up of salespeople who work with lots of clients.
You've taken over as the sole IT person for this company of 80-100 people.
R teils you to provision a machine for a new employee, you order the hardware directly from a business vendor.
You keep one or two machines in stock, in case of emergency. The users receive a username that you generate for them.
You then give them an orientation on how to login when they start. You currently manage all of your machines using
Windows Active Directory. The company uses only Windows computers. When a new computer is provisioned, you have
to nistallots of sales-specific applications manually onto every machine. This takes a few hours of your time for each
15
machine. When someone has an IT-related request, they email you directly to help them.
Almost all software is kept in-house, meaning that you're responsible for the email server, local machine software, and
instant messenger. None of the company's services are kept on the cloud.
Customer data is stored on a single file server. When a new salesperson starts, you also map this file server onto their
local machine, so that they can access it like a directory. Whoever creates a folder on this server owns that folder and
everything in it. There are no backups to this critical customer data. If a user deletes something, it may be lost for
everyone.
