Addressing Technology Capability Concerns

Bandwidth concerns deal with the number of users on the company’s internet/intranet and number of devices like computers, printers, and other devices that connect to the company’s network.   University of Phoenix’s overhead company, Apollo Group, had over 12,000 employees in Arizona alone in 2010 (Berry, 2010).  Given the number of employees who need ongoing training, reviewing the technology used in trainings is central to maintaining an efficient and quality training program.   Since University of Phoenix has thousands of employees accessing trainings or educational tools at any given moment, bandwidth is something that has to be monitored.  According to a former University of Phoenix employee there are few network or server problems when participating in trainings (Lee, 2012).  This indicates the company has high capacity servers and a large bandwidth capacity.   The former employee also noted that the company had few problems with training sites being slow (Lee, 2012).  The lack of server problems or training website issues at University of Phoenix indicates the university pays for sufficient bandwidth to support the training activities.
