C-Level, at least from my understanding means CEOs.

Hi Everyone :)

     I need help with finding an alternative to the word

'infrastructure' and/or 'network infrastructure'.  The

  audience will be healthcare 'C-levels'.  I am told by

  my editors that 'infrastructure' and 'network infrastructure'

  are too technical.

 

A part of me is asking: "Does the C-level refer to their maximum

academic achievement or just indicative of their IQ?  Or, perhaps this

says more about the intellectual capacity of the editors rather than

the audience."

 

Sarcasm aside I sometime find the word 'grid' and using the metaphor

of being on or off the grid as having some resonance with non-IT savvy

folks. Not that there are many of these to found any more.

 

Another idea, but one I have not used myself, is to use the cellular

telephone system as an example of a 'network infrastructure' and go

from there.  There cannot be too many people left in North America

that are unaware of the cellular system and the towers that provide

coverage together with the concepts of service area and no-signal.
