Scenario
The director of operations for PMI had identified that your organization was not prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic. When the states of Michigan and Maine shut down, your organization was not prepared to work remotely. It took weeks to set up new laptops, there was no corporate VPN, and no formal training was done to prepare employees to work remotely. As the chief technical officer (CTO), you have been asked to explore using Amazon Web Services® (AWS), as your current data center needs to be updated, and discussions have been going on regarding moving the corporate HQ once the current lease expires early next year. You have been tasked to work with management to develop a business continuity plan that will address a possible move to AWS and to ensure that the organization and its employees are prepared for any future emergencies. You will also need to present your idea for an Intranet/Extranet to better share data with the employees, vendors, and consultants.
Instructions
Based on your research, write a 2- to 3-page business continuity plan that will explain how AWS can be utilized for remote work. Be sure to base your recommendation on supporting research; use the Library to seek further information and sources for your arguments.
Requirements
The written paper should be 2–3 pages long, not including the title page and references. As you research the assignment topic material, all of the pages must have citations and references as appropriate. No more than one direct quotation (of 40 words or more), table, or figure is allowed per page, and bullet lists without substantial narrative included are strongly discouraged. There should be no spelling or grammar errors.
