In addition, any exchange of information must always be done safely, which is another important aspect of working with IT.

The company takes on design work for all sorts of clients for a range of different sports, including football, hockey, netball, rugby and cricket.
The company has a number of powerful personal computers to do the design work, which also has Internet access to allow clients to email details about the events to the iGraphix design team.
Business has been going very well for the company, but there are two problems emerging with the use of email:
