Main server resource 

Proposal 3: Identify main server main server as an office B resource rather than a joint resource (contingent on dividing up current joint office B/office A financial management system database).

Pros
Cons
Gives office B a free hand to reconfigure main server hardware and software. Unix workstation at office A might no longer be provided network backup services
Streamlines information technology budgeting process by reducing need for office A input Requires rethinking established joint information technology budgeting process, raising questions about future information technology funding allocation to each office.
Makes it easier to relocate main server (see Proposal 4) because only one office is involved in decision. Inequitable in that main server was originally purchased with joint information technology funds.

Implications of accepting
Implications of rejecting
Identify backup services for office B Unix workstation. Office B coordinates with office A on main server hardware and software reconfiguration.
Rethink joint information technology budgeting process.
