Developing a Business Technology Plan

Basically a Technology Plan Establishes:

Where you are with your communication design, where you like to go, and how you can achieve your objective.

Be cautious of Heavy Vendor Influence
As time and different promotions affect your company, a network can be little more than a hodge-podge of what was hot.

Establishing a Technology Plan
The most important investment that a business can make is establishing a Master Plan for Technology. To execute a successful plan can set goals and budget to accomplish your agenda and make it much easier for a decision maker to sign off on what will make the company and its personnel more productive and clarify a ROI.

Lack of manager Involvement
By involving a board member or controller during the staging and implementation process is significant. Someone who will carry the banner and explain why your company must keep up with technology to offer the finest service to your clients that is possible.

Questions During the Designing Stage
What model are you wanting to achieve?
How can we offer the best service/product possible by taking the most advantage of our resources?

Are you building for the future?
Effectively using technology in communication and network design.
The goal that every contact can see and understand what is being offered.
 
Do you have a plan that supports the overall objective?
Tie all school buildings together
Are there plans for a high-capacity network?

Establishing a disaster recovery Plan
How important is accessibility to your company after a disaster hits?
Can you continue to operate after something as predictable as power loss or cabling accidentally damaged?
