Scenario
Instructions
You work as a support technician within Accove (https://Accove.net) and have

received the following ticket from your client Marine Photography Victoria.
Ticket #1657
Subject Cloud access for photos Client Marine Photography Victoria
Priority Medium
Request Our team's expansion has caused issues with sharing media between
photographers and the design team. Currently, photographers return their
cameras after a shoot, the design team downloads the photos to the
server and copies them to local computers for editing.
This process is inefficient and a growing bottleneck.
We need:
The ability to upload and share photos from our boats at sea using
5G wireless, laptops, phones, cameras, or other equipment.
Storage capacity for terabytes of photos in the cloud.
Software and methods that are easy for staff to use.
Modern software to stay ahead of our competitors.
Could you please research some different solutions to improve our current
process (below) of retrieving photos from divers.
Regards,
Jordan Taylor
Operations Manager
