- Cost
- Availability of service to students
- Security
- Administrative burden on the school’s IT department
Note: See the file NTC362 Table Template Week Three file for how to set up your table.
Also, write a 350-word executive brief or summary using Microsoft® Word that answers the following questions:
- Based on your table, what service would you recommend and why?
