The Local Area Network is used within the organization such as within the offices of the management officials (Slb.com, 2015).

The managers and other top organization officials are tasked more with the role of decision making as well as the policy development. This responsibility is less internet demanding compared to the rest of the technical team that needs internet throughout their daily routine. The information integration team in the organization, for example, requires internet to run the newly developed systems. The process of integration is always long and very repetitive since it is at this point that most viability tests of the newly developed programs are run. The major reason behind the wired network within the top management office according to the employees is the control of the network. Unlike the wireless network, Schlumberger can be able to control who access the information that gets online. The management team at Schlumberger has a very distinct and important role of ensuring the smooth conduct of business at the organization. In this view, therefore, the management gets in control of very critical information that leads to their decision making. The access of this information by any unauthorized persons
