advertising and online sales our marketing department needs to be
competitive. We know other online retail competitors are fully taking
advantage of available internet resources. Marketing creates, invents,
and packages a viable commercial product. Even upper tier management
feels the constraints and restrictions implemented by our
resourcefully thorough network personal. Privately the corporate
bosses complain -and have even opinioned that they feel held hostage
by this tightened security.
We can do our work but it's really with tied hands. For example if an
advertising agent creates a mini promo setting it up on YouTube we
have to go over to one of our retail stores to view the presentation!
If a client needs to ftp a portfolio into our corporate office that's
not permitted because ftp is disabled. We use an online file storage
client for this function. It's really counterproductive. If we had
that additional line, independent of the corporate network, we would
be exponential freer to execute our marketing skills. We need to know
in real time what is unfolding in the retail world. It's a simple
request.
It's a stations. In the current situation we have three channels. 2;
4; 7. What we need is the full sweep of channels -from 1- 150. This
would give us complete functionality. Yes we can work within the
constraints for 2,4,7. But it is very limiting.
Thanks

Thanks for the responses. In the retail world especially in
advertising and online sales our marketing department needs to be
competitive. We know other online retail competitors are fully taking
advantage of available internet resources. Marketing creates, invents,
and packages a viable commercial product. Even upper tier management
feels the constraints and restrictions implemented by our
resourcefully thorough network personal. Privately the corporate
bosses complain -and have even opinioned that they feel held hostage
by this tightened security.
We can do our work but it's really with tied hands. For example if an
advertising agent creates a mini promo setting it up on YouTube we
have to go over to one of our retail stores to view the presentation!
If a client needs to ftp a portfolio into our corporate office that's
not permitted because ftp is disabled. We use an online file storage
client for this function. It's really counterproductive. If we had
that additional line, independent of the corporate network, we would
be exponential freer to execute our marketing skills. We need to know
