Scenario
You work for Teledyne Research as an enterprise architect. Teledyne a multinational research and development organization with a mission of developing and delivering technology products for small to medium sized organizations. Teledyne has been asked to develop a Request for Proposal (RFP) packet to a small but growing managed print services organization (PrintItNow).
Until recently, PrintItNow has been able to support its customers with the three individuals at the primary headquarters. However, a new opportunity has been granted to PrintItNow, and they are in need of expanding their technical support services to include a larger number of technicians, in multiple locations.
