Summary/Reccommendation
After reviewing the needs analysis/cost assessment/and design of the proposed network, I don't believe that it would be in the best interest to update the entire network system. The current design fits the company straightforward with the new updated RXconnect system in use for under a year. Some CVS pharmacy branches are still in the process of actually obtaining this new system and proposing a design before they test the available would be ludicrous. The branches with the new updated system are experiencing some slow-downs as well as lag issues but it think some minor tweaks should get the job done. Though I couldn't find the cost CVS spend on the new updated system, I'm pretty certain that it was less than my proposed network overall. CVS was able to keep all the same equipment while I wanted to change various designs. I also realized in my research that T-3 aren't available everywhere and would pose a problem with every branch using these types of lines. T-3 lines are very expensive and wouldn't be in the best interest of the company to spend this much. I am however happy that the system did upgrade to RXconnect as through searching online through message boards, Rx2000 had some security issues which might have been addressed with the new program. Overall I feel like I would need to see the new system which personally I wish I had the opportunity to do; to gain the respect of it. I'm sure I will be monitoring various other discussions even after this project seeing how the system works and then again looking at my proposed network to see how and if It is a better design the CVS Corporation could use.
