Technical Communication
The large online retail company’s executive team had given the task to the former
manager for conducting research on cloud-based systems to assess if such a migration can
resolve the growing data center budget containing salaries, updating of servers, real estate
costs. Hence, the former manager has created an ineffective presentation for communicating
the findings to the company audiences. In this way, this paper will contain a critique
explaining how or why the presentation was not appropriate for the company’s employees to
understand the cloud system. Besides, with the help of this paper, research on cloud-based
alternatives for the API will be conducted while determining recommended technical
communication deliverables (Brooks & Dunn, 2011). In this way, company deliverables in
the most effective way to communicate findings towards each stakeholder audience so they
understand how the cloud system will affect the company will be presented.

The given PowerPoint presentation is poorly done and hence this paragraph is going
to critique it on the basis of the above-mentioned scenario as well as the company’s intended
audiences (Banks, From professional ethics to ethics in professional life: implications for
learning, teaching and study, 2009). Post analyzing the whole presentation writing, the writer
has identified the PowerPoint on cloud computing, as poorly written, unprofessional and
unethical. The supporting reasons are as follows:
 Although the given presentation was a good attempt to cover the core details of the
cloud computing yet there are so many points of improvement which can be made to
improve it. The professional presentations must have an outline slide or discussion so
that the audience can easily understand which points are going to be discussed related
to the relevant topic. The given PPT is not having an outline slide (Tagbotor,
Adzido, & Agbanu, 2015).
 The PPT is not having any numbering and font style is unprofessional as well. As we
know that Times New Roman, Calibri, and Arial font styles can be used in official
documents and writing hence the writer should have used such font styles.
 There is no supportive evidence provided for the points as well as facts mentioned in
the given presentation. Additionally, data presented by the PPT is not accurate as
