Introduction
This project plan paper welcomes you to the IT plan that will focus on making use of the
company resources more effectively and efficiently to deliver better customer services. The
purpose of this IT plan is to define the initiative and the objectives that will help in aligning the
company goals with what the plan is proposing to strike a balance between the demand for better
technology within the company and the cost of operation for the company. The company faces
several challenges of using the manual system and the aging IT that is in place that limits
efficiency and quality of customer service. This two years plan for the fiscal years 2017/14
through 2018/18 will provide the roadmap that will help the company to bridge the gap between
the impending IT needs now and in the future. The plan will address the short term as well as the
long term IT problems that are facing the company and it will also factor in to the issues as well
as creating a methodology that will fund the project. The plan will also give details of how viable
and feasible the project will be to the company. This IT plan will address the issues that come up
due to use of absolute technologies and offer better services through the use of telemetry which
is almost free technology and if tapped well can be a cost saving strategy to the company now
and in the future IT budgets.
Project proposal summary
As the business environment is becoming more digitalized more pressure is created to the
organization to adapt to the forces. This presents the need for the organization to develop a fact,
secure and reliable means of data transfer as well as information. With the current manual data
transfer system it is subjected to physical challenges such as slow speed, the high cost of
maintenance, security issues when transferring data to long distance and the system it very labor
intensive which adds more to the labor cost. The question presented here with the manual system

is inefficiencies which are costing the organization time and money. The aim of this IT project is
to come up with a more reliable and cost effective means of data transfer.
Telemetry is an IT concept that uses light to transfer data from one end to another. Given the
incomparable light of speed data is transferred within the shortest time possible. The system is
made secure through the use of an end to end data encryption to ensure data is confidential. The
technology is almost free once installed and fully functional as what is required is the light and
the decoders. What can be seen here is savings on internet charges and the security of data is
guaranteed. The technology is efficient since the traffic is not overloaded with other data and is
dedicated to serving the organizational needs. The only cost that will be incurred is the capital
cost. In the logic of savings business people would agree that it is better to save on recurrent
expenditure through a onetime capital expense. The system will be subjected to maintenance
only once a year and this can be done through outsourcing the work to IT professionals for a
onetime fee instead of hiring a full time profession...
