Introduction

Two beneficial wireless technologies

Party Plates faces competitive problems that have led to the implementation and establishment of new technology services for the sake of the company. The company is on the way of identifying and emerging consumer friendly services that will enable the company to enhance and incorporate new technology systems. Such technologies are those that serve in mass networking proportions and enables direct interaction between Party Plates and their customers. With the use of the wide area networking system (WAN), Party Plates have developed different resources and marketing tools such as responsive web design that enables our customers to use different networking platforms so that they have an easy and a fast access to the different telecommunication systems. "Telecommunications systems are composed of computers, which act as transmitters and receivers of information" (Rainer, Jr. & Cegielski, 2011), as well as tablets, and smartphones. In these ways, customers have a more gratifying interaction with the company.

Pros and cons of the recommended technologies

Wide area networking systems (WAN) offer many benefits. The most important of these are the fact that the network is broadcast from one, central location, which greatly reduces cost and enables a company to have one large database that can be accessed remotely, with little lag in the connection. Having the WAN system in place reduces risks associated with having the databases spread over several locations, so all of the backed up information is stored in one place, rather than operating under the uncertainty that operators at other locations will remember to back up the data of a different office. The single location for the WAN system would also reduce the risk of people leaving the premises with copies of backed up information, as it would be automatically done from the main system and an alert would be apparent if someone were to be copying information that is unauthorized. Overall, a WAN system would provide a secure and efficient method of data management for the benefit of the consumer (What are the..., 2012).

The cons of a WAN system are mainly to do with cost. Computer hackers could potentially pose a problem, being that the network transmits innumerable amounts of data, much of it being sensitive consumer information. Money would have to be spent in security for the system, as well as the cost to employ an Information Systems specialist to manage the network, making sure that it is running as it should and remains secure ("WAN Technology, n.d.).

Responsive Web Design (RWD) is magnificent. It is method of coding done so that the website automatically responds and adapts to any type of device,
