Planned Changes

Northwind Traders plans to open a new branch office in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The new office will be responsible for setting up and managing a new series of Northwind Traders retail shops throughout Brazil.

The new office in Rio de Janeiro will be responsible for translating all product information and website data into Portuguese. Those translations will be added to the Brazilian versions of the Northwind Traders websites by corporate employees of the new office. These employees will also be responsible for all Brazilian marketing and PR functions, which will include hiring local manufacturers to update all Northwind Traders packaging with the Brazilian translations so that those products will be ready for local markets. Employees will be encouraged to work with additional local partners to collaborate on packaging, and to develop new products for local and global markets.

Employees of the new Rio branch office will only be allowed to access the Northwind Traders network through wired connections. Employees will not be able to access the corporate network outside of the new office, and they will not be able to remove their network devices from the main building of the new office. There will be standard devices available on the wired network, including printers, faxes, employee computers, and so on.
