Hi Folks

I am studying for an I.T qualification and one of the assessments is a ‘scenario based assessment’. It involves a fictitious accounts dept. who records all their transactions (sales/purchases) on paper. I am required to introduce an I.T system into that dept. I have done the majority of the assessment, but need your kind help on two things –

With the introduction of this new I.T system, a manual with well documented I.T. processes is required i.e. detailing level of access and authorisation rights for each employee. If I was to get someone from ‘outside’ this fictitious organisation in order to write this manual, how much would it cost and is there a name or job title given to the person who is qualified or capable of doing this?

All transactions need to be backed up in case of fire or theft. What storage medium would you advice I need in order to do this effectively?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
