New Projects for the Geek

I'm currently designing a VPN network for a local company that wants to get on line on everything they do. With the structure starting with 20 branches nationwide, they need to consolidate their accounting figures in real time and have their produce fresh when they need it. This is a tall order for me but after configuring these things for about 5 years, I can probably do this. This also means that we'll be setting up POS and ATM software but I'll have that sourced locally too.

I am thinking of getting a couple of routers that would be able to get us networked first. This would cost roughly about 24,000 pesos because the SOHO routers cost around that. Maybe in the first phase I'll be getting them to organize a shared resource then after that, have their software send the information and have it consolidate the earnings versus their supplies so they can have their products delivered on time. Since they are in the food business they need this to make things faster and easier to understand. It will make their ordering system more efficient since they plan to get bigger this year. Its a good thing I know vpn like the back of my hand. Hopefully I can get them to approve the budget I require to accomplish this. This would be a nice year for me too if that pushes through. Wish me luck!
