As part of my coursework, I worked within a team to evauluate the feasibility of setting up an office for a medium scale textile company in Botswana.
This was a proof of concept project where we looked at various factors impacting the feasibility of having an office in Botswana. We used the following steps to do our analysis:
- Conducted survey of the country -- looked at the economic trends, conducted SWOT analysis, and evaluated locations for potential office sites.
- Looked at the telecom industry in Botswana and identified the key service providers who could provide us with connectivity in order to maintain business.
- Evaluated different types of connections being offered in Botswana and looked at how each connection was evolving with time.
- Did thorough analysis on each telecom provider to come up with pros and cons for each provider.
- Finalized the requirements of the new office -- including telecom and road connectivity.
- Analyzed key challenges to going live with the new office -- Identified security as most vital challenge.
- Came up with security measures to ensure that things go smoothly.
- Presented the evaluation to the client and gave final recommendations for location, network and security!
