Current State of Technology and Business Practices at Plainview Energy Concern

Plainview Energy current business practices and systems are not being used effectively.

Plainview Energy is not communicating well with its employees internally or with the external

employees and staff members who assist with maintenance and security from offsite locations.

The present communication process definitely needs to be changed. Team A suggests that the company change from its use of regular phone lines to a high-speed TI line where data will only go through one pipeline. The T1 lines can transmit data at a rate of 1.544
