2. INFORMATION SYSTEM RELATED
RISK
• Insufficient IT expertise.
• High complexity.
• Isolation of IT in Development phase.
• loss of privacy an organization might encounter.
The outsourcing firm gains access to all of the information that passes
through the organization's computer system. This information includes
financial data, which if released, could place the organization in a vulnerable
position.
• When an organization outsources its IT functions to
a third party, it loses its confidentiality.

4. ADVANCES IN PARALLEL COMPUTING
• The simultaneous use of more than one processor or computer to
solve a problem is known as parallel computing. Many applications
today require more computing power than a traditional sequential
computer can offer.
• Parallel computing has advanced to the extent that multi-core CPUs
and GPUs now standard fare on desktops and in servers. Also another
sign of this advancement is the advent of Google-style multi-node
computing and storage on Isilon's latest rev of its OS, OneFS
6.5, which it is targeting at the business analytics market. Parallelism
has taken up the slack, enabling scalable cloud-based computing
using a combination of general-purpose and specialized cores.
5. SYSTEM SOFTWARE AND APPLICATION
SOFTWARE
System software is a set of programs that coordinates the activities and
functions of hardware and other programs.
1) operating system (windows, Linux and Mac),
2) utility programs (antivirus and antispyware), and
3) mild ware
Application software is a type of computer software consisting of programs
that employs the capabilities of a computer directly to a task that the user
wishes to perform. Examples are:
1) Microsoft Word (Word Processing)
2) Microsoft Excel (Spreadsheet software)
3) MySQL (Database Software)
4) Microsoft PowerPoint (Presentation Software)
6. DATA MINING
• Data mining is the computational process of discovering patterns in
large data set involving methods at the intersection of artificial
intelligence, machine learning, statistics, and database systems.
• The overall goal of the data mining process is to extract information
from a data set and transform it into an understandable structure for
further use.
7. TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND
NETWORKING
• Videoconferencing is the conduct of a videoconference (also known as
a video conference or video teleconference) which allow two or more
locations to communicate by simultaneous two-way video and audio
transmissions.
• With the introduction of relatively low cost, high capacity
broadband telecommunication services in the late 1990s, coupled with
powerful computing processors and video
compression techniques, videoconferencing has made significant inroads in
business, education, medicine and media.
• Videoconferencing can be used by administrators and other staff to
conduct meetings, professional development, and interviews.
Videoconference technology also allows for sessions to be recorded for

categories or types.
• Definition of workflow tasks often coupled with messaging so that content
managers are alerted to changes in content.

world. Over the past years both sites have engaged in several
activities that have led to their success. Some of these elements are
as follows based on the various e-business web sites.
11. GENERATING IS SOLUTION
Decision Making as a Component of Problem Solving
• Decision-making phase:
I) Intelligence stage:
• Identify and define potential problems or opportunities
II) Design stage:
• Develop alternative solutions to the problem and evaluate their feasibility
III) Choice stage:
• Select a course of action
12. EXPERT SYSTEMS IN TAXATION
FIELD
• Expert systems are software programs that store knowledge extracted
from human experts and appear to mimic human experts in a
particular field or domain such as tax or auditing. There have been
applications of expert systems in accounting in the areas of
auditing, financial accounting, personal financial planning, and
management accounting. The expect domain, Rudimentary Legal
Reasoning, is handled by the software, TAXMAN (eg. Lexware
TAXMAN 2013 Download version, picture is below).
