A Review of Huffman Trucking Telephone and Data Networks

In an effort to meet the Service Request (SR-ht-010) presented, and to allow for system improvements in the projected Huffman Trucking's budget, several telephone and data network recommendations will be discussed throughout this documentation.

Through an initial study performed by the Information Technology (IT) Department, several areas of Huffman's current telephone and data network systems are in need of improvement. These modifications and enhancements will not only meet the current needs of the company as a whole, but will also allow for growth into the future. The IT Department will accomplish these tasks by upgrading and documenting the current communications systems. In addition to system recommendations, proposed costs estimates will also be provided.

Upon reviewing the current Huffman Trucking communication systems, the IT Department observed many issues and hardware items to be inefficient. Current analysis of the various locations concludes that company-wide changes and upgrades should be made as an effort to maintain data integrity and ease of use.
