This book was designed to explain, to a non-technical, top-management audience, how an integrated information network would work, how it could be built over a four-year period, and what the anticipated benefits and savings would be. It condenses a vast amount of technical information (two binders full) into only 32 pages. A diagram representing three typical floors in the headquarters building is used to show the network and equipment in context and avoid hard-to-understand wiring diagrams.
