Case summary

Several months later, Mark has implemented your recommendations for his IT infrastructure. Business is booming! Mark's father has seen the great success of Mark's $3$D printing business, and he wants to provide the capital to open two more facilities near Veterans Administration Hospitals in Memphis, Tennessee and Phoenix, Arizona. Mark is very excited about expanding his business and being located near service men and women who will benefit from his $3$D printed accessibility and assistive devices. Since he has already purchased several server and storage devices to hold his designs and business information, he would like to retain that investment. One thing he has learned is that, with very high speed internet connections, the $3$D design files can be downloaded in just a few seconds, so they would not have to be stored at each of his new locations. Mark's plan is to create two new facilities, each with the same number of $3$D printers and staff as he has at his current location. The employees at the new locations will also need access to the ERP system to report their time and order supplies, etc.
