A network colleague is going to putting together a paper on the benefits that can accrue from having an integrated information system provided by a Virtual Private Network (VPN) as opposed to an unintegrated Local Area Network (LAN).
Some of the benefits he initially listed were data integrity, reduced auditing, etc.
My advice to him was to split the paper into two separate cases.
The first would be the benefits of an Integrated Information System versus an unintegrated one.
The second case would then be for providing this across VPN as opposed to on across a LAN.
This approach would make the individual and combined cases much clearer and also make it easier to define the steps necessary to achieve it.
