1.
Mobility in computing is becoming a primary driving factor for businesses, especially following the Covid-19 pandemic. When the pandemic hit, many businesses were not ready to send their workers home and did not have the networking infrastructure in place to support secure remote access to business resources. The move to support remote access not only hit businesses but also major internet and cellular providers who were also not set up to handle the massive changes in demand for service. Consider a small to medium sized business (SMB) of your choosing. In a 3 page APA-formatted paper, address the following:
·
Where should the business focus its networking hardware configuration: physical wiring or wireless?
·
Which telecommunications and/or networking components should the business acquire and implement to provide secure access to business resources and information?
·
Which security challenges does the company face in supporting remote access for employees?
Support your reasoning and recommendations with outside resources using proper citations and references.

A business isn’t going to be in business if it doesn’t have and retain customers. Every customer makes purchases, and those purchases may be for products, services, consulting, and much more. In a 3 page APA-formatted paper, consider your current business or a previous one that you have worked for. Address the types of customer information that may be collected and how that data may be used within the business. For example, a construction company may provide services for both business and residential customers. Business customers may have accounts and request work on a regular basis for different job sites, and they may have a specific set of services that they require. Whereas, residential customers may typically only call once and require a specific task to be done. How would the company use this information to manage product supplies, personnel, and plan job time availability? Address similar questions within your paper as they relate to the specific business type that you have selected.
