| In order to discuss introduced information technology | | | | |
| to a construction company, I have discussed that with | | | | |

| following requirements, | | | | connect with the company information |
| | | | | |
| 1. It is need to find and install systems to the | | | | 2.4. Users having special computing requirements- |
| company which can accomplish the following | | | | Select computers for special tasks like Designing , |
| requirements | | | | Technical purposes |
| 1.1. Head office is at Colombo and the other sites | | | | |
| are locating in distance areas from the Head office | | | | 3. It is need to select an operating systems |
| therefore it is needed to connect all the sites to the | | | | 3.1. Operating systems should be selected for |
