1. Analysis of user requirements
Advanced Medicos Limited (AML) refers to a digital health company that deals with
products related to the field of healthcare. The company has been providing with the
healthcare services with the use of web as well. In reference to this, the company has
identified the need of upgrading their existing system of network. The company currently is
in possession of two buildings named A and B that is both a three-storey building. In addition
to this, the buildings are separated by a distance of 20m. Following this, AML has five
departments in total namely the likes of, production, software development, marketing,
administration as well as accounting and finance. Building A has the department of software
development along with that of marketing (Kompara and Hölbl 2018). On the contrary, the
building has the possession of the remaining departments belonging to the organization.
However, the entire connection of the whole network has no inclusion of a wireless service
and every individual device is connected to the other with the help of wires. In addition to
this, both the building have no direct sharing connection. Hence, both the buildings are
connected to each other through a web portal that exists within the current network system of
the organization. This web portal in the form of an edge router is located within building A.
All of these conditions have led to the fact that AML is currently in the need of an
upgraded system that might have potentially improve the existing network of the company
and provision with a better working of the entire business processes that are carried out on a
daily basis (Sun et al. 2017). Hence, the primary requirements of the company for building up
a new network or improving the existing one have been mentioned below. These are,
 8 more workstations within the administration department along with the addition of 2
printer for provisioning more workload to be handled.
 Inclusion of BYOD to safeguard the security of the organization.
