IDENTIFICATION
1- What are the components of the [ORGANIZATION NAME] system (assets)?
a. Identify and assess value, (at this early stage, we don't need to worry about $$$ details),
b. classify and,
c. prioritize them (create a table).
Possible questions you need to be asking at this point:
· Which information asset is the most critical to the success of [ORGANIZATION NAME]?
· Which information asset generates the most revenue?
· Which the most profitability?
· Which is the most expensive to replace? (don’t limit yourself into thinking in terms of $$ only: time, loss productivity, etc.)
· Which would be the most expensive to protect?
· Which would be the most embarrassing or cause greatest liability (think of all those bad lawyers) if revealed?
· Does data need to be classified? Do users need a different security clearance (examples of users: office staff, local nationals, lab monitors, librarian, students, faculty, etc.)
2- What are the threats these components face?
a. Identify threats (you can use the web and find current threats or even think of some other possible threats),
b. Prioritize threats (again, table format works)
Possible questions at this point (think in terms of danger to the company v. to the information):
· Which threats are the most dangerous to [ORGANIZATION NAME'S] assets in the given environment?
· Which are the most dangerous to the information?
· What would cost to recover from an attack? (non-detailed estimation of time and loss productivity),
· Which are the most expensive to prevent?

It then outlines the proposed new system, including assigning a database administrator, implementing customer IDs to automatically update records, and adding security features like VPN. The document also covers designing the database structure, transaction processing system, and management information/decision support systems. It provides database table designs and establishes a project plan with a Gantt chart. The goal of the new ERP system is to improve processes like inventory management and customer service.

Business had changed a great deal in the past fifty years. Businesses used to keep everything on paper and file it in cabinet. Trying to find the information that you needed was a long process that took a lot of man power. Paper files also came with a lot of error and you had to depend on the people writing the data to get accurate information. For large organizations this was a painful and unreliable process and it you couldn't get it right then your business would have a hard time succeeding. There are many systems that can help organize information and place it where it needs to be. One of the information systems that sticks out to me is the ERP system. This system may be costly and may take a lot of training to implement, but if it is done right it can show great results. Take a large manufacturing company for instance. You have a finance and accounting department, an HR department, sales department, and an operations department. Imagine keeping all of that information on paper and relying on hundreds of employees to fill out the paper work correctly. That sounds like a nightmare to me. ERP systems were designed to organize all of the information from each department and accurately make decisions based on that information. ERP systems can be difficult to use and train others on how they work. I believe that ERP systems will become more user friendly and easier to implement into any organization in the future.
Transformational IT technologies transform organizations, as they provide businesses with new opportunities for strategic advantage while challenging previously successful techs. It changes the basic ways that people and departments work and may even change the very nature of the business enterprise. The most important and significant transformational IT system that I can think of that changed the way organizations work was the World Wide Web, or the Web. This multimedia was invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist, in 1989. The Web transformed how business was made worldwide, the interaction between a company and consumer was closer than ever. It allowed organizations to make information instantaneously available throughout the world, targeting more consumers, and all this at a lower cost, saving companies alot of money. Now with the new techs, such as social media and ad revenue, organizations are able to reach people even faster. That is the future, social media, videos, etc..Where compani.

Personal Trainer, Inc. owns and operates fitness centers in a dozen Midwestern cities. The
centers have done well, and the company is planning an international expansion by opening a
new “supercenter” in the Toronto area. Personal Trainer’s president, Cassia Umi, hired an IT
consultant, Susan Park, to help develop an information system for the new facility. During the
project, Susan will work closely with Gray Lewis, who will manage the new operation.
Background
During data and process modeling, Susan Park developed a logical model of the proposed
system. She drew an entity-relationship diagram and constructed a set of leveled and balanced
DFDs. Now Susan is ready to consider various development strategies for the new system. She
will investigate traditional and Web-based approaches and weigh the pros and cons of in-house
development versus other alternatives. Before you begin, you should review the background
information and facts contained in Chapters 2, 4, and 5 of the case study.

Assignment 1: The CEO’s Challenge
You’ve just left an all - hands meeting at your company * The CEO was very upset at the rise of shadow IT projects – a major indicator that the company’s internal information system has failed to meet its needs.
Because the current information system is inadequate, inefficient, and outdated, the CEO is inviting everyone in the organization to propose a new operational, decision support, or enterprise information system to replace it. The executives have allocated $5 million to fund the most promising idea

This is your chance to make a difference in the company (not to mention your own career). Write your proposal as a memo that the entire C - suite will review. Include at least these points, in your own words, to be persuasive:
1. Identify the main functions of your proposed information system and why they are important to the business.
2. Describe what types of data your information system will hold and how data quality will be ensured.
3. Explain how the old information system handles the functions you mentioned, the problems that occur, and why your information system will handle things better.
4. Offer evidence of feasibility: Show that similar information systems have been built successfully and that they save more money than they cost.
The executives are busy, so keep your memo to 1-4 pages and avoid any extraneous content.

Answer the questions to the scenario below. Answers should be elaborate and detailed.
Scenario
You have been asked to be the project manager for the development of an information technology (IT) project. The system to be developed will allow a large company to coordinate and maintain records of the professional development of its employees. The company has over 30,000 employees who are located in four sites: Florida, Colorado, Illinois, and Texas. The system needs to allow employees to locate and schedule professional development activities that are relevant to their positions. Sophisticated search capabilities are required, and the ability to add scheduled events to the employees’ calendars is desired. The system needs to support social networking to allow employees to determine who is attending conferences and events. This will promote fostering relationships and ensure coverage of conferences that are considered of high importance.
Once an activity has been completed, employees will use the system to submit the documentation. The system should support notifications to management personnel whenever their direct reports have submitted documentation. The system should also notify employees if their deadline to complete professional development requirements is approaching and is not yet satisfied.
For the given scenario, answer the following questions:
How would awareness of the business functionality being addressed by the project result in a solid IT infrastructure?
How will documenting the system architecture benefit the stakeholders and the success of this project?
There are several types of architectural views. Select 2, and describe their purpose. Explain what each represents.

Abstract
ABC Abacus Inc is an Information Technology Company which operates under a Business to Business (b2b) model with its primary objective being to design and sell software to academic institutions. In its initial days, the firm was the industry leader in terms of innovation and customer satisfaction. In the recent past, however, the firm has recorded a slowdown of profits, a problem which is partly attributed to its outdated software architecture. This paper explores the firm’s current systems to identify the shortfalls that are leading to this slowdown. Based on the identified shortfalls, the paper recommends several courses of action that could be implemented to help the company maximize its competitive advantage against the back.

CASE STUDY IV-3
IT Infrastructure Outsourcing ���at
Schaeffer (A): The Outsourcing
Decision
Schaeffer Corporation, headquartered in the small Midwestern town of Vilonia, is
a diversified manufac- turer. In 2002 Schaeffer Corporation’s consolidated sales
were around $2 billion and its profit after taxes was about $200 million.
Schaeffer’s stock is publicly held and its value has been consistently recognized
by the market- place over the past few years.
Founded by Frederick W. Schaeffer in 1877, Schaeffer Corporation originally
manufactured small farm machines, such as churns, cream separators, corn
shellers, apple peelers, and the like. Frederick had one son and three daughters,
and the daughters married men who joined the business: Hiram C. Colbert, George
Kinzer, and Heinrich Reitzel. Each of them led the transformation of the compa-
nies into new product lines, and today Schaeffer Corporation sells very different
products within three very different divisions, named the Colbert division, the
Kinzer division, and the Reitzel (pronounced “rightsell”) division.
Each division is relatively autonomous, with the responsibility for product
development and marketing of its own product lines. Two of the divisions have
their own manufacturing plants and distribution facilities; the third division is now
in financial services, providing agribusiness loans, estate and equipment loans, etc.
The products are all branded with their division’s name rather than with the
Schaeffer name. Although the financials of the divisions are closely monitored by
Schaeffer corporate headquarters, each division is held responsible by corporate
management for its bottom.

Network and Workflow for a Ddata Analytics Company on Ssports.
A company’s network and workflow play a major roles in its performance and growth. Different companies consist of rely on different networks and workflows depending on the services/tasks they are providing and the number of workers and members of staff. A network tends to connect workers and members of staff at different levels of the company. This network tends to create a good and effective workflow within the company, hence a company network and workflow go hand in hand. When creating a network and a workflow of a company, the workers and members of staff working duration must be considered in order to achieve a company objective (Moretti, 2017).Also, the mode of employment which may be permanent or temporary/laying down of workers within a short period of time, to a large extent determines a company’s network and workflow. The change of an organizational requirement due to growth and expansion creates a need for a company to adapt a new network and workflow. A network in company plays a vital role of guiding how the company should run its operations. Comment by Mark O'Connell: Duration?? Comment by Mark O'Connell: What? Laying down??

Accounting Information Systems 13Th Chapter 1
This document outlines the key learning objectives for a chapter on accounting information systems. The objectives cover distinguishing data from information, explaining how information is used to make decisions, identifying information flows within an accounting system, describing major business processes and the basic functions of an accounting information system. It also covers how an accounting system can add value and how the system relates to corporate strategy and a company's value chain.
VOC & Unstructured Data
Until recently, VOC was mostly quantitative in nature and mainly structured according to the terms of the organisation, apart from the one customary verbatim question at the end of most surveys that represents qualitative data.
The partiality towards quantitative data made things simple, because it required very simple database structures and it presented you with numbers you could take averages of to draw a pie chart. As your VOC information became more sophisticated, you could start asking questions like “how does A predict B?” Most customer experience (CX) players are very good at this.
But how does qualitative data fit into this picture? Since qualitative data can potentially be coded quantitatively, it begs the question that at what point does qualitative data become quantitative? Qualitative data tends to present itself as unstructured data, and to make meaning of this data it is necessary for us to structure it.
But what is unstructured data and what isits potential use in VOC programmes?

Milestone 3 has two parts but are combined into one project. In Part A you should discuss the legal structure of your rural hospital (US based) (is it a sole proprietorship, a corporation, a LLC, etc.) and why. Then, in Part B imagine that the bank approved you for the $2,000,000 loan to start your business. Prepare a budget sheet to show how you would use this money. Remember you must think about where your business will be housed, as well as other expenses (owned or rented property, utilities, equipment needs, inventory, supplies, overhead and employees). Thinking about a typical income statement and balance sheet can help guide you identify items you will need to cover in your budget.
FOR REFERENCE ONLY: Below is the SWOT analysis prepared for an earlier assignment. This should help with the creation of the legal structure.
SWOT Analysis and Promotional Strategies
SWOT Analysis
STRENGTHS
WEAKNESSES
· We offer a comprehensive practice of core competencies.
· We have strong community ties and patients keep coming back to the hospital.
· We can comfortably treat many types of patients suffering from different problems.
· We support our patients through social infrastructure and attend to the less fortunate.
· Limited funding.
· Limited geographic space.
· Lack of multiple types of payments and low reimbursement rate by Medicare.
OPPORTUNITIES
THREATS
· We can work on better patient retention.
· We can offer preventive services and disease management as alternative treatment methods.
· We can create value of our services through evidence based outcomes.
· Increasing cost of healthcare.
· Severe regulatory changes and restrictions.
· May be unable to keep up with technology advancements.
The above SWOT analysis for the hospital shows the organization’s internal strengths and weaknesses as well as its external opportunities and threats. The analysis provides a safe yet productive setting in evaluating the position of the hospital as well as its future. This way, one gets actionable takeaways and management can set or adjust their goals realistically and plan how to forge forward (Dictionary, 2016). This analysis allows the administration to review their success and identify then work on those areas that need improvement. For instance, the strengths show that the hospital is competent but there is still need to maintain these competencies to avoid being outdone by the rest of the competitors. Healthcare is evolving and the hospital needs continuous realignment for it to continue thriving with these strengths.
On the other hand, there are weaknesses that need to be handled internally. To begin with, with the issue of limited funding, management needs to come up with a way to raise funds by attracting investors. Further, there are opportunities for the hospital to grow and develop. The administration should take advantage of these to create more business (Wheelen, Hunger, Hoffman & Bamford, 2017). For instance, ...

Story They Call Me Mr. ProcessI have always been an organized p.docx
Story: They Call Me Mr. Process
I have always been an organized person. Growing up, my room was neat, I kept track of my grades, my clothes were put away, and my bed was made. I have always felt a sense of discomfort if I did not know what was going on. In college, I quickly learned that organization was the key to success, and I carried the same philosophy into my professional career. Even fresh out of college and working in my first job as a manufacturing engineer, I was quick to offer suggestions to my more experienced colleagues regarding ways to implement processes to improve the efficiency of the organization. It did not take long before someone gave me the nickname "Mr. Process." Although the name was usually accompanied by some smirks, I actually liked the name and referred to myself the same way when I interviewed for jobs later in my career.
Mr. Process obviously finds processes to be important in an organization, and processes are absolutely vital in the management of enterprise content. Without well-defined processes, even good enterprise content will quickly tend toward chaos. Without these processes, there is no control over how data are modified and maintained. Data need to be managed. The importance of data management policies can be better understood with an example from my own work experience.
In the early 1990s, I joined a software development company as the vice president (VP) of product development. At the time, the company only had 13 employees, but they dealt with a significant amount of information because they had sales of $3.5 million per year and over 1 million customers. Enterprise content included a large customer database, large repositories of software source code and documentation, and reams of technical support information. The small staff was having difficulties trying to stay abreast of day-to-day operations and had consequently paid no attention to the management of these important collections of valuable content. Mr. Process did not like this at all.
During one of our weekly executive staff meetings, I raised the issue of enterprise content gone wild. I explained to the members of the staff how it was virtually impossible to locate and identify all of the software source code we were supposed to be working with. I offered examples of how our source code was being modified with proper controls and how it was difficult to even build products because of unauthorized changes. I told them how the technical support staff (who I was in charge of) were unable to find past support information on customers and how they were forced to enter the same information multiple times, and how they could not access historical information so they could learn from a knowledge base. These were just some of the complaints I lodged.
Of course, the chief executive officer (CEO) asked me what I thought should be done to improve the situation. When I responded "data governance" I just received blank stares from around the table. I ex.

The cost of building a new high speed railway system is reported to be.docx
The cost of building a new high speed railway system is reported to be high at 25 billion. Does it neccesarily follow hat the high speed railway is not worth building?
Solution
The following factors should be considered besides only the cost of building the project-
Land acquisition
Railway projects require the land
acquisition and also displacement of businesses and homes. Government has to work out fair compensation for those bearing the losses. Sometimes acquisition laws can be very complex.
Allocating risk correctly
The private sector also has to play a part in these projects
This could be through system suppliers, construction companies, operating companies, rolling stock producers or private finance suppliers.Thus allocation of various risks has to be done correctly
Securing funding
Transport infrastructure is called a public good and the
services are a benefit for a huge number of people. Thus,
not only the financial returns but the social
returns also need to be considered. A complete feasibility study should be done prior to starting this project.
The other factors are-

Abstract
ABC Abacus Inc is an Information Technology Company which operates under a Business to Business (b2b) model with its primary objective being to design and sell software to academic institutions. In its initial days, the firm was the industry leader in terms of innovation and customer satisfaction. In the recent past, however, the firm has recorded a slowdown of profits, a problem which is partly attributed to its outdated software architecture. This paper explores the firm’s current systems to identify the shortfalls that are leading to this slowdown. Based on the identified shortfalls, the paper recommends several courses of action that could be implemented to help the company maximize its competitive advantage against the back.

CASE STUDY IV-3
IT Infrastructure Outsourcing ���at
Schaeffer (A): The Outsourcing
Decision
Schaeffer Corporation, headquartered in the small Midwestern town of Vilonia, is
a diversified manufac- turer. In 2002 Schaeffer Corporation’s consolidated sales
were around $2 billion and its profit after taxes was about $200 million.
Schaeffer’s stock is publicly held and its value has been consistently recognized
by the market- place over the past few years.
Founded by Frederick W. Schaeffer in 1877, Schaeffer Corporation originally
manufactured small farm machines, such as churns, cream separators, corn
shellers, apple peelers, and the like. Frederick had one son and three daughters,
and the daughters married men who joined the business: Hiram C. Colbert, George
Kinzer, and Heinrich Reitzel. Each of them led the transformation of the compa-
nies into new product lines, and today Schaeffer Corporation sells very different
products within three very different divisions, named the Colbert division, the
Kinzer division, and the Reitzel (pronounced “rightsell”) division.
Each division is relatively autonomous, with the responsibility for product
development and marketing of its own product lines. Two of the divisions have
their own manufacturing plants and distribution facilities; the third division is now
in financial services, providing agribusiness loans, estate and equipment loans, etc.
The products are all branded with their division’s name rather than with the
Schaeffer name. Although the financials of the divisions are closely monitored by
Schaeffer corporate headquarters, each division is held responsible by corporate
management for its bottom.

The above SWOT analysis for the hospital shows the organization’s internal strengths and weaknesses as well as its external opportunities and threats. The analysis provides a safe yet productive setting in evaluating the position of the hospital as well as its future. This way, one gets actionable takeaways and management can set or adjust their goals realistically and plan how to forge forward (Dictionary, 2016). This analysis allows the administration to review their success and identify then work on those areas that need improvement. For instance, the strengths show that the hospital is competent but there is still need to maintain these competencies to avoid being outdone by the rest of the competitors. Healthcare is evolving and the hospital needs continuous realignment for it to continue thriving with these strengths.
On the other hand, there are weaknesses that need to be handled internally. To begin with, with the issue of limited funding, management needs to come up with a way to raise funds by attracting investors. Further, there are opportunities for the hospital to grow and develop. The administration should take advantage of these to create more business (Wheelen, Hunger, Hoffman & Bamford, 2017). For instance, ...

Story: They Call Me Mr. Process
I have always been an organized person. Growing up, my room was neat, I kept track of my grades, my clothes were put away, and my bed was made. I have always felt a sense of discomfort if I did not know what was going on. In college, I quickly learned that organization was the key to success, and I carried the same philosophy into my professional career. Even fresh out of college and working in my first job as a manufacturing engineer, I was quick to offer suggestions to my more experienced colleagues regarding ways to implement processes to improve the efficiency of the organization. It did not take long before someone gave me the nickname "Mr. Process." Although the name was usually accompanied by some smirks, I actually liked the name and referred to myself the same way when I interviewed for jobs later in my career.
Mr. Process obviously finds processes to be important in an organization, and processes are absolutely vital in the management of enterprise content. Without well-defined processes, even good enterprise content will quickly tend toward chaos. Without these processes, there is no control over how data are modified and maintained. Data need to be managed. The importance of data management policies can be better understood with an example from my own work experience.
In the early 1990s, I joined a software development company as the vice president (VP) of product development. At the time, the company only had 13 employees, but they dealt with a significant amount of information because they had sales of $3.5 million per year and over 1 million customers. Enterprise content included a large customer database, large repositories of software source code and documentation, and reams of technical support information. The small staff was having difficulties trying to stay abreast of day-to-day operations and had consequently paid no attention to the management of these important collections of valuable content. Mr. Process did not like this at all.
During one of our weekly executive staff meetings, I raised the issue of enterprise content gone wild. I explained to the members of the staff how it was virtually impossible to locate and identify all of the software source code we were supposed to be working with. I offered examples of how our source code was being modified with proper controls and how it was difficult to even build products because of unauthorized changes. I told them how the technical support staff (who I was in charge of) were unable to find past support information on customers and how they were forced to enter the same information multiple times, and how they could not access historical information so they could learn from a knowledge base. These were just some of the complaints I lodged.
Of course, the chief executive officer (CEO) asked me what I thought should be done to improve the situation. When I responded "data governance" I just received blank stares from around the table. I ex.

services are a benefit for a huge number of people. Thus,
not only the financial returns but the social
returns also need to be considered. A complete feasibility study should be done prior to starting this project.

Comment in detail on the events of each date 1880, 1881, 1883, 1885 and 1886 as they relate to the work that was accomplished in public administration prior to the Woodrow Wilson article entitled The Study of Administration in 1887.
Solution
In 1880, Sir Frederick Weld arrived in the Straits Settlements. He began to take personal interest in the development of the Malay States. In the middle of 1881, Weld visited the town of Taiping, in Perak. He found \"the revenue increasing and everything going on excellent well...\" but \"labour for public works and roads and to develop other industries and sources of revenue besides tin-mining,\" he lamented, \"is the great want\". he also reported that:
\"Water supply for Taiping from the hill (Maxwell Hill), the roads to Krian, which will connect Taiping town centre with Province Wellesley, and a rail and tramway from Taiping to the port (Port Weld, which was named after him) are amongst the next most necessary works to be undertaken. the town of Taiping has been much improved since the fire, which took place rather more than a year ago; new streets have been laid out to considerable width, and a better class of houses has been built\"
The construction of the Taiping - Port Weld railway was the beginning of a major transformation altering radically the landscape of the Malay Peninsula. It also brought the first influx of Indians (mainly Tamils) and Ceylonese to Perak. Sir Frederick Weld was in Taiping again in 1883 where he \"inspected everything\". He spent time going down the Port Weld railway line, then in the course of construction, \"on a truck behind the Engine\". He also put into effect plans to build a telegraph line along the road linking Taiping with Province Wellesley. It was nearing completion after which a railway along the same route would be constructed.

P5- Use the financial information below to calculate and interpret the.docx
P5. Use the financial information below to calculate and interpret the following ratios:
A) Capital acquisitions ratio.
B) Quality of income ratio.
Solution
A) Capital acquisitions ratio
The capital acquisition ratio reflects the company\'s ability to finance capital expenditures from internal sources. A ratio of less than 1 indicates that capital acquisitions are draining more cash from the business than they are generating revenues.
Capital Acquisition Ratio = (cash flow from operations - dividends) / cash paid for acquisitions.
B) Quality of income ratio
It is a tool to evaluate a business\' earnings performance. The ratio shows the percentage of earnings that have been actualized in cash. A high ratio is desirable because it indicates a large amount of earnings turning into profits.
Quality of income = Cash flow from operating activities / Net income
