The proliferation of networking systems is forcing IT project managers to learn about voice and data networks on the fly. A growing global economy is making unprecedented demands of organisations' data communications capabilities.

In Network and Telecom Principles for Project Managers, you'll learn the fundamental principles in data networks with an emphasis on incorporating communication capabilities in information systems design. Learn how network and telecommunications technologies are evolving and how communications systems function and integrate with existing architectures.
