People are living in an era of technology explosion. Computer networking and telecommunication is therefore an area which cannot be avoided. Such has been used by people in every level of trade and business and has shown great influence in thriving of any one setup. Having an effective IT Strategy on how to lay them in a position for the benefit of the organization is of key importance.

When coming up with a communication networking system, target recipients should be identified. This goes a long way in determining the type of infrastructure required for such needs. For local use, lesser resources could be allocated. Much should be allocated though if the target clients are far from the source as this requires expensive apparatus.

The size of an organization is another major consideration in determining the infrastructure to be implemented. Cabled networking would suit well a small organization. This is because this type of infrastructure does not require frequent servicing. It does not require specialized personnel also for maintenance hence it is cheap. A large organization however may demand both wireless and cabled system. This is because of the larger number of individuals who access the network tray.

Consider the sensitivity of the information being transmitted. If it is intended for few individuals, then a wireless system has a greater risk of leakage of information. This is due to possibility of hacking. Cabled connection should be used therefore with encryption to reduce chances of falling to the wrong hands. Special devices that encode the data being passed across the system can also be beneficial.

Setups vary with each other depending on the amount of data they send. When an organization deals with huge volumes of data and information, then it should consider getting a method that will avoid congestion. Such organizations include media houses and broadcasting stations. Mobile phone providers also must consider such systems to avoid congestion.

A firm should consider the operational cost of a particular system. Some systems tend to be expensive when it comes to maintenance and operational costs. Such costs mean that a firm will use more money and that increases expenses.

State guidelines and policies should guide in setting up an information relay system. Broadcasting frequencies require a lot of rules and regulations governing their operation. They also require special licensing which is expensive. Use a cheaper alternative method if available.

Any system that handles information in volumes requires a backup plan. This is because they all have a chance of shutdown and breakups. If there is no effective backup, valuable data can be lost in such an occurrence. It is therefore expedient to have an effective backup that will keep the system running while the other is down for repair.

Consider the devices needed by recipient to retrieve the information. It would be of no use to send information which cannot be retrieved by the recipient. Provide devices required for such or use a common method easily retrieved using home appliances. An IT Strategy is vital.
