THE TYPES OF ALERTS

The major sorts of alerts in our organization will be email and SMS communication. Firstly, email communication will be the most significant, where all employees will provide their emails to the IT office. At the same time, the organization will create corporate emails, especially for the management positions to make them different from others within the organization. Therefore after the assessment of the processes in the organization, the involved IT personnel will develop an email citing the problem they have observed and changes that should be expected. Then the system’s users shall be forwarded the email in real-time. Brain & Crosby (2011).

The simple mail transfer protocol or SMTP will be used by the organization to receive and send emails to the involved parties. The email transfer will be based on whether the receivers are local or remote. An example, for local recipients, the emails should remain in the service and will be accessed by IMAP and POP. While for the remote recipients, the DNS (domain name server) will be used to locate the appropriate IP address of the recipient. However in case, the communication will be queued in case the remote SMTP is not accessible; however, if the queue period exceeds one day, it will be returned to the sender.

While SMS communication will be used for communicating urgent but special information that requires an immediate reaction from the recipient, the information communication shall be limited to only one hundred characters, while attachments shall not be allowed. Therefore all employees will provide their phone numbers for direct contact through SMS. For SMS to work, the recipient and sender have to be connected to a network provider. After clicking send button, the information is transmitted by the closest cellphone tower, just like how it occurs when making calls. The tower will then send the information to the closest receiving tower next to the recipient, thus relaying the communication to their cell phone. Rayarikar et al. (2012).
