Working as a marketing assistant for a consumer electronics company, I am in charge of setting up my company’s booth and equipments at trade shows. Prior to any show, I meet the marketing managers to determine the equipment and displays needed for the show. These are then scheduled for delivery by a shipper to the show site. Once delivered, I supervise the setting up of the booths and equipment by the trade show personnel. After the show, I supervise the packing as well as schedule the shipment back for the booth components and equipment. Upon returning to the home office, I need to ensure that all components of the booth and equipment have arrived and in case of shipping damage or loss, I handle it. In order to achieve my task efficiently, I need a simple management system to handle it. For each data, I need fields to identify their characteristics. These are as below: 1. Booth components - Name of each component - Quantity of each type of component - Status of the components - Brief description about the components - Instructions for shipping - Items ID 2. Equipment - Name of each component - Quantity of each type of component - Status of the components - Brief description about the components - Instructions for shipping - Items ID 3. Shippers - Name of the shippers - Address - Contacts 4. Shipment - Mode of transporting - Date of departure - Date of arrival - Quantity in shipment - Items in transit ID - Cost of shipping With the details collected, I need to follow up on: a) Booth components and equipment item ID and items in transit ID b) Booth components and equipment quantity and shipment quantity With the above fields, I have two options: to use Excel® spreadsheet or a datab... ... middle of paper ... ...s of the company’s client with malicious intentions hence the sensitivity. VPN stands for a Virtual Private Network. This is a network connection with enhanced security features over a public or a private network. Virtual Private Networks are widely used by educational institutions or large organizations to extend intranets up to a worldwide level. Users can only access the network via authentication by the unique identification and allocated passwords. Due to the sensitivity of the data being transmitted, a VPN would be appropriate to ensure preservation and security of clients’ information. References Antonakos, J. L., & Mansfield, K. C. (2009).

UNDERSTANDING THE OSI MODEL AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH TCP/IP The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is a reference tool for understanding data communications between any two networked systems. It divides the communications processes into seven layers. Each layer both performs specific functions to support the layers above it and offers services to the layers below it. The three lowest layers focus on passing traffic through the network to an end system. The top four layers come into
devices, global position services, cellular towers, as well as with the internet that concept of being private slowly disappears. All the data transmitted through these devices are stored in databases, digested by algorithms, and served up for various purposes. The more we as a society move towards technology and easy-to-access information the less sensitive private data individuals retain. Previously as we seen in the 1984 German film “The Lives of Others,” in-order to spy on someone it required a fleet
Processing System collects and stores data about transactions. It also changes stored data such as making an airline reservation, business transactions, and accounting transactions. Two types of Transaction Processing System(TPS) - Batch transaction processing Information is collected but not processed immediately. In other way, it is an efficient way of processing high volumes of data where a group of transactions is collected over a period of time. Data is collected, entered and processed, then
process. The concept breaks the decision making process into four elements: Observation, Orientation, Decision, and Action. Observation is the information gathering stage. This includes situation assessment, outcome determination, research, and determining the variables impacting the situation. Orientation encompasses experiences, cultural influences, genetics, and forthcoming information. Decision is the application of the Observation and Orientation stages to form a viable plan of execution. Action

The United States government is up to its ears in the personal information it has collected from its citizens. Americans are becoming increasingly “aware of these slowly eroding walls of privacy,”(Hirsh) and more than half polled admit concern “about the overall accumulation of personal information about them “by […] law enforcement, government, […] and other groups,” though “they accept it as an unavoidable modern phenomenon” (Hirsh). The question is, how far is too far to trust the government

message actually came from? You have to understand how email messages are put together in order to backtrack an email message. SMTP is a text based protocol for transferring messages across the internet. A series of headers are placed in front of the data portion of the message. By examining the headers you can usually backtrack a message to the source network, sometimes the source host. A more detailed essay on reading email headers can be found .

The transaction processing system (TPS) on the other hand are the most widely used information systems. They are predominantly used to record data collected at the boundaries of organizations or at the point where the organization transacts business with other parties as well as other internal information. Examples of TPS are Point-of Sale (POS) machines, automatic teller machines, and purchase
Prototyping quickly builds of functioning but incomplete model of the future information system. Physical systems design has been traditionally a paper and pencil process. Analysts drew pictures that depicted the layout or structure of inputs, outputs, databases, and the flow of processes in the system. The paper and pencil process is time consuming which is prone to considerable errors and omissions. Frequently, the resulting paper specifications is inadequate, incomplete, or inaccurate (Whitten & Bentley
treatments. This can delay or compromise medical procedures. This can cause medication errors. A management approach that includes clear policies as well as procedures for gathering information, making a decision, collaborative efforts and timely communication need to be established to handle such drug shortages in an effective manner (Ventola, 2011). Drug shortages have been the most challenging for sterile injectable drugs. This is because they are more complex to produce and are more likely to have
We will first describe hardware, software, databases, and networks the team members observed. Then, we will recommend improvements to existing systems. We will also evaluate how the changing business environment has affected the decisions team members' organizations have made in their use of information technology. Finally. we will compare the various the organizations' technological capabilities. Table below summarizes hardware, software, database, networks and platform ware we observed.
Introduction The systems development life cycle (SDLC) according to Dennis, Roth, & Wixom (2012) “The systems development life cycle is the process of determining how an information system (IS) can support business needs, designing the system, building it, and delivering it to users.” This methodology encompasses four phases planning, analysis, design, and implementation, to streamline the successful development of a system, with each phase producing deliverables using in the following phase.
