Week 7 assignment

The assignment:

An effective network supports different business processes. For this assignment, the sales department within a company has employees that work remotely from various office locations. The corporate office located in different physical location needs the sales people to track their sales data. The Vice President (VP) of Sales has tasked you with finding a solution because their territories have expanded and having the sales people come into the office each day is not a viable solution any longer. The VP of Sales believes it would make sense to implement a cloud solution but the President of the company has valid concerns about security, employee churn, and company data being accessed remotely.

Create a PowerPoint presentation to gain approval from members of the company with limited technical knowledge, inlcuding the President, VP of Sales, and Executive Management Team. Include the following in your presentation:

    Analyze the process whereby virtual clouds (tangible machines) are used to link to virtual private networks (VPNs) that interacts with virtual enterprise architectures or enterprise resource planning systems architectures.

    Evaluate three (3) weaknesses with a business moving to a cloud based application.
    Analyze two (2) concerns that a business may have with have virtual cloud enterprises connected to their existing network.
    Incorporate security concerns throughout the presentation, including proper access to data, how data may be used, and implementing security policies.

Provide specific examples to detail your presentation. Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as “speaker notes” for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists. Support your presentation with at least five (5) scholarly resources.
