Initial client meeting report

Posted: 24th February 2010 by Paul Hadley in MA

Today was the initial meeting with the client. From the outset, it seems that my initial fears of communications infrastructure restrictions were unfounded. Access to social media platforms such as Facebook, LinedIn, Twitter are not blocked at all, however it appears that the number of staff that know how to use them appears to be [...]
