9. Overall assessment of the Enterprise
Tekdata uses premium quality services for its offices to enhance the working atmosphere. It also strives to improve the quality of the workforce and as such, attempts its utmost to develop the workplace(Kumar and Francisco, 2005). Tekdata doesn't compromise on quality and in its attempt to do so, doesn't hesitate in the matter of funding.

Following are some examples which make this attitude of Tekdata very evident.
Microsoft Office - £230 X 50 = £11500. Tekdata uses original and full versions of every application to facilitate effortless and unhindered services(Kumar and Francisco, 2005).
PCs   £ 900 X 50 = £45000. Tekdata uses the best quality of computers for the ease of its employees.

Risk Assessment

Tekdata has an overall asset of 15M which is not high as compared to the bigger enterprises, but mostly its assets are company’s staffs and machinery it uses to perform its functions(MacGillivray, 2013). Tekdata bears a monthly cost of £11,500 regarding Microsoft Office licensing, £45000 in PC's rent, £6M in premises rent and other purposes, and overall £2M which includes employees' wages, conveyance, and allowance. Most of the time there's a high turnover rate in most organizations although the organization is doing well. A high turnover rate means the organization has to conduct interviews for replacement or up-gradation of the workforce which costs the organization in terms of time, money and experience(MacGillivray, 2013).  As most of the assets are in software and hardware, they are prone to damages and short life expectancy, so there always stays a liability in changing or replacing them. A through vulnerability assessment is required to keep a check on sudden damages or failures the system might come up. Vulnerability analysis is the process through which the security loopholes in the computer, communication or network communication are defined, identified and classified. Thus, the company must have a thorough idea about the probability of occurrence, ordinal ranking, the relative likelihood of occurrence, category ranking of categories that represent the likelihood(Jarupunphol and Buathong, 2013). The single loss expectancy must be generated which is required to calculate the annual loss expectancy. The annual loss expectancy is the product of single loss expectancy and the annual rate of occurrence. The managerial staff of Tekdata must monitor the risk assessment to be prepared for any unexpected outcome. Thus, an overall risk assessment helps the company to stay prepared for any shortcomings the company has to face over the period(Jarupunphol and Buathong, 2013).

Recommendation

Although Tekdata does not have any creditors who have their investments due, there may be a problem in this regard shortly; this is because the company has not seen major upheavals in its business in recent times. Although Tekdata is relatively new to see such an event, it is in its best interests to prepare for such an occurrence. The fairly significant investments in their planning may be good for the business in the apparent viewpoint, but it may cause imbalances in its overall financial planning(McKeown, 2012). While the company's policies have always been a trend of landing huge projects, it may be better if it widened its consumer base to the maximum percentage of the population. Although Tekdata has not faced a lack of projects till date, it should be remembered that the number of such projects is always limited and as such it is in the best interests of the company to divert its resources to other fields as well. Thus, stability of the company in case of a situation of a lack of available projects by providing it with a lineup of other projects which would help sustain the company financially would be ensured.  The high maintenance costs already set by the company would put an added pressure in such times. Cutting down on employees would not be a solution in this case as it would again create a lack of workforce in the event of the resurgence in the availability of such larger projects(McKeown, 2012). Creating a new lineup of the workforce would in such a case put additional stress on the company both financially or otherwise. Also, a process of cutting down on employees would prove to be harmful to the company's overall public image, and a maligned public image is the worst thing that any company belonging to any sector can think. The company needs a plan that regulates its expenditures. While the company makes unconditional costs maintain a quality of work, it needs a plan which pinpoints its important positions. Such expenses may exist as a result of the company's aim to create a better quality of work but in fact, it creates a hindrance in the company's ability to efficiently direct its overall capital to create a better quality of work. Mostly, the company lacks a backup plan in case of a lack of projects and also requires planning in the direction of its funds.
