In this talk, I will take you for a spin around the performance racetrack. We’ll explore common pitfalls - those hidden potholes on your application that can cause unexpected slowdowns. Learn how to spot these performance bumps early, and more importantly, how to navigate around them to keep your application running at top speed.
We will focus in particular on tuning your engine at the application level, making the right adjustments to ensure that your system responds like a well-oiled, high-performance race car.

Managers are being confronted with new tools and challenges as digital technologies proliferate throughout the workplace. This chapter will introduce us to the Information Age and lay a foundation for the rest of the term.
This chapter explores:
The emergence of the Information Age
Its influence on globalization
What information systems are
How information systems can help or harm the organizations that attempt to employ them
Key ethical considerations regarding the use of information systems
We start with the rise of the Information Age, how it builds on the prior ages, and current Information Age trends of significance.
Our learning objective for this section is for you to be able to describe, in your own words, the characteristics of the Information Age we live in.
Although having the right information at the right time has always been valuable, we can now strategically gather and manage information in ways that were never before possible, allowing us to leverage it and create value with it much as we leverage and create value with land, labor, and capital.
Each age has enabled the age that followed.
The Agricultural Age provided the time and resources necessary for people to stay in one location and invent machines.
The Industrial Revolution provided the tools, such as the printing press, necessary to replicate information and widely disseminate it in a low-cost manner.
The current confluence of emerging technologies and social events has created five significant trends that business managers need to manage and understand if they don’t want to be left behind:
Mobile computing
Social media
The Internet of Things
Cloud computing
Big Data
Let’s explore each of these individually in the next five slides.
Mobile computing is becoming pervasive, and many people are constantly connected to the digital world.
In developing nations, there is often a jump directly to mobile technologies, which avoids the high-cost infrastructure of traditional land-based phone systems.
This can lead to both opportunities and challenges both for managers and marketers.
Employees can conduct business almost anytime, anywhere.
Customers have their phones with them 24/7, allowing them to be reached throughout the day, wherever they may be.
This trend facilitates the increasing “consumerization of IT.”
It also leads to security issues, as managers need to deal with employers’ preference of “bring your own device” (BYOD).
Social media has emerged as a dominant force in online socialization.
Examples: Facebook for friends and families, Google+ for “social circles.”
Businesses can leverage social media to communicate with customers
Business intelligence can be conducted, mining social media sites for good and bad sentiment toward a business and the factors driving it.
Chapter 5 focuses on social media.
Lots of physical objects (such as computer, sensors, or motors) are interconnected and automatically share data over the Internet.
Examples include:
Monitoring home temperatures while on vacation
Alerting drivers of parking spaces and traffic volumes
Cardiac monitors alerting physicians of potential health risks
Smart cities, smart homes, and e-health
Cloud computing is really about sharing technology resources and taking the pain out of using and sharing data and applications.
A major advantage is backup and reliability. If your computer breaks, you haven’t lost your data.
Also, you can access your files from any computer. For example, have you ever used Dropbox?
It requires connectivity to function, so the constant connectivity we see at work and play is a key enabler.
Mobile computing has further added to the value of the cloud metaphor.
It is discussed in greater depth in Chapter 3.
Businesses continue to gather ever larger quantities of data as they seek to have the proper data to manage their business effectively and efficiently.
This presents new opportunities if it can be properly analyzed and mined for information.
This data is often unstructured, such as natural language postings about a business.
The resources required to mine Big Data pose tremendous challenges for business.
Big Data is a key part of “business intelligence,” discussed in more detail in Chapter 6.
Globalization is next. We will look at the key factors enabling globalization and at outsourcing. Our learning objective for this section is for you to be able to describe globalization, key enablers, outsourcing, and information systems outsourcing.
With the opening up of China, markets have opened up for businesses.
Evolution of technology has had a tremendous impact on global opportunities.
The Internet and the invention of the Web browser created a new standard for sharing information over a network in a simple fashion everyday people could readily grasp.
Falling telecommunication costs have enabled new types of communication and collaboration at very low cost.
Outsourcing is when you take business process currently being performed internally by your company and have another company do them instead.
Outsourcing is typically driven by cost reduction, and is undertaken when another company can perform a process at a lower cost than yours.
Outsourcing doesn’t automatically imply moving work overseas.
The decline in telecommunication costs has significantly reduced the expenses in moving processes to businesses that are overseas.
Overseas companies may enjoy multiple competitive advantages, including lower labor costs.
In addition to the help information systems give to outsourcing other business processes, information system processes are also subject to outsourcing.
Information systems outsourcing is done for the same reasons for as other business processes.
The prime driver for information systems outsourcing is also cost reduction, just like for other types of outsourcing.
Other drivers include outsourcing to more effective companies and allowing a business to focus on its core business activities.
The emerging digital world creates many opportunities for companies to reduce costs through information-system-driven efficiencies and access to lower-cost labor. At the same time, companies can reach broader markets and sell products around the world, driven in part by falling transportation costs, which are also being driven down through information systems technology.
There are new challenges to operating in the digital world as well as new opportunities. In addition to the expected challenges of culture, varying worker demographics, and political instability, there are additional challenges as different countries pass varying information system regulatory controls affecting privacy, standards, information ownership, and information censorship.
As we discuss information systems, its important to know what they are, and what they aren’t. The learning objective for this section is for you to be able to explain what an information system is, including the components. A key part of this is the element of data, as well as the difference between data, information, and knowledge.
The terms information systems and information technology are often used interchangeably.
Information systems are used for many business purposes: sales, marketing, production, financial analysis, human resources, etc.
The term IS also refers to a career field that involves applying information technology to solving organizational problems.
Information technology is discussed in more detail in Chapter 3.
Data are the raw feedstock of information systems. Data are the raw information that we capture every day.
Once data are processed and analyzed, the data become information. Even this isn’t enough to make decisions with.
To make decisions, we need to understand the context of the information and the environment in which we want to use it.
Knowledge is the ability to understand information, form opinions, and make decisions or predictions based on the information.
Since the first computers decades ago, an entire ecosystem has grown up surrounding the development, implementation, support, use, and maintenance of information systems.
This ecosystem includes multiple types of highly skilled professionals, and expanding use means that demand continues to grow for those with advanced or unique skills.
IS careers can be very rewarding, both financially and in terms of job satisfaction. Salaries for developers range from $60K to six figures. IS manager salaries are often in the six figures, and for executive positions like CIO can exceed $300K!
Technical competency involves an understanding of the “nuts and bolts.” IS professionals are not necessarily experts in the nuts and bolts, but know enough to be able to apply them to practical problem solving. Business competency is what separates IS professionals from mere techies. Although technical positions are often outsourced, it is much harder to outsource business savvy. Systems competency also separates good IS professionals from technicians, as it involves an understanding of how technology integrates with organizations, people, and society.
Information systems don’t exist in a vacuum, they exist in the context of varying types of organizations. Information systems play multiple roles in organizations, ranging from automating business processes and driving down costs to reaching new customers and better servicing existing ones.
The organization of information systems has changed over the years. In the past, IS was controlled in a central location composed of technical experts, but more and more the IS function is distributed across the organization as people become more tech-savvy and there is a greater understanding of the need to adjust IS to the needs of different functional units.
Table 1.7 gives a breakdown of these different categories of information systems.
Information systems hold great promise for organizations, but also pose significant risks. The learning objective for this section is for you to be able to describe the dual nature of information systems, how they may help and how they may harm.
Like FedEx, many organizations are leveraging information systems to do business more effectively and efficiently. This may simply improve the bottom line, or may give a significant business advantage to organizations and allow them to have an edge over their competitors. This type of leverage can be applied by organizations of all sizes and industries.
IS Ethics are a critical part of managing information systems. The learning objective for this section is for you to be able to discuss the ethical concerns of information systems in general and particularly with respect to privacy and intellectual property.
The definition of computer ethics is “describes the moral issues and standards of conduct as they pertain to the use of information systems.”
There is a growing concern in society about computer ethics, which is driven in part by growing concerns regarding individual privacy and how organizations will use the information they have lacking any code of conduct or effective regulation.
Richard Mason wrote a classic article in 1986 describing emerging concerns in four key areas, referred to by the acronym PAPA:
Privacy
Accuracy
Property
Accessibility
Companies operating in the online world are not required by law to respect your privacy. In other words, a vendor can track what pages you look at, what products you examine in detail, which products you choose to buy, what method of payment you choose to use, and where you have the product delivered. After collecting all that information, unscrupulous vendors can sell it to others, resulting in more direct-mail advertising, electronic spam in your e-mail inbox, or calls from telemarketers.
Is this ethical? Do we have any real privacy rights?
Intellectual property is creating new ethical challenges, as digital media can be copied endlessly with no loss of quality. However, many of the individuals who create intellectual property have a legal right to be the sole source for sales and are compensated for their creative work by receiving payment for each copy sold. This creates an ethical dilemma for individuals who own copies of the work and feel they should be able to use it as they see fit, including the duplication of it for a friend.
A standard code of conduct removes ambiguity when situations come up that aren’t necessarily illegal, but that have the potential to cause individuals or organizations significant harm. This is particularly true where regulations regarding the use of information systems are playing “catch-up” to the existing capabilities, such as editing a photo so it appears to represent something that wasn’t in the original. The Computer Ethics Institute has created a widely quoted set of guidelines.
As information technology becomes more pervasive, the fundamental skills necessary to access and use it are becoming essential to success in business. When some people are left behind, either by choice or through lack of opportunity, it makes it difficult for them to achieve economic success.
