[ale] IT department

[Transam]

Like performing surgery, designing an IT system takes experience.
Since they ARE friends, the best favor you can do is to recommend
that they find someone experienced at this.  Warn them that anyone
will take money regardless of whether they know that they're doing.
Here there be dragons.
