e. The third machine is the most basic of the three, because of the large quantity it has less features but is still well equipped. Management PlanWe are recommending the three systems presented below in the results section. While researching the options of building or buying packaged systems our decision went back and forth as we found better deals on each alternative. There are pros and cons with each alternative, but we feel we have made the best decision. The pros of buying the packaged system would be that it is purchased through one company, which means a good warranty and customer service. One of the problems with the built system is there is a separate warranty for each piece and the cost of building each system. In the end we decided the packaged systems will be a better return on investment.The first system presented below is the high-powered desktop system that will be used by the developers.
