Technology Implementation Requirements for Count on Us Accounting Office General Requirements
A small, independent accounting and tax return office named “Count on Us” has decided to purchase computers and install an office network so they can begin filing tax returns electronically. They have been completely computer-less, but they know times are changing, and they need to use technology to remain competitive. They are in an office building on two floors in downtown Dallas, Texas. The area on the 2 nd floor has a conference room for staff meetings and presentations and four offices used to meet with clients. The offices of the two owners are also located on the 2nd floor. The area on the 5th floor is a large, open work area with eight cubicles. It is where most drop-off returns are prepared, along with follow-up work on returns after meetings with clients. There are a total of 35 employees, plus the two owners. Include the following requirements in your design:
▪ The security of their client’s information is the highest priority.
▪ Employees do not have assigned desks, so they should be able to do their work from any cubicle or office.
▪ Information needs to be accessible from both floors.
▪ Internet connectivity to the IRS to file tax returns is a must.
▪ The owners want everyone to have Internet access, but with restrictions. They are there to work, not surf.
▪ They have a storage room on the 5th floor for all their files, and there is an open space 10’ by 6’, which may be used for computer equipment, such as servers and switches.
▪ The office cannot go paperless so printers will be needed.
▪ Backups of their data are a must and should be stored offsite.
▪ Since this is an accounting firm, money should be spent wisely.
