...of the Current State of Technology With the increasing demand for up- to- date, correct and relevant information in the business world, it is crucial for each business to take advantage of breakthroughs in information technology specifically in the field of information systems. Information generated is used by decision makers to gain competitive advantage against competitors and to take advantage of opportunities to increase business performance, effectiveness and efficiency. One of the several information systems which are considered to be of the great help for managers in decision making is the decision support system. Decision Support System (DSS) combines models and data in an attempt to solve semi- structured and some unstructured problems with extensive user involvement. With correct gathering and manipulation of data, DSS can provide several alternative solutions which in turn can lead to correct decision making. Today, there are many companies adopting decision – support systems and data mining software not only in the U.S. but also in the Philippines. However, there is limited literature on companies in Iloilo City adopting this technology. For this reason, the proponents saw the need to study the process of one company in Iloilo City where this type of information system can be adopted. That company is Westvis Marketing Corporation. Westvis Marketing Corporation (WMC) was founded by Mr. Honesto Tomas Hsia on April 2011. Mr. Hsia was a former managing partner in...

...who implemented various decision support systems (DSS) into their business model. A DSS is a “highly flexible and interactive IT system that is designed to support decision making when the problem is not structured.” (Haag, Cummins p.162) Managers require information to guide their organization in the right direction. DSS increases productivity, efficiency, and enhances understanding of business processes. DSS helped carve their business success, facilitate management making qualitative decisions, and turned their raw data into valued information that was needed by employees and management. DSS assist the management and employees of Frito-Lay by delivering statistical and data retrieving systems. Employees of Frito-Lay also used DSS systems in searching information that was germane to their job function. The three main components of a DSS are model management, data management and interface management. “The model requests the information from the data management component, analyzes the information, and sends the results to the user interface management component, which in turn passes the results back,” (Haag, Cummins p.163) to the user. There are many types of DSS systems and hybrid DSS systems. Four DSS systems that could be implemented in a business are communication driven, knowledge driven , data driven , and document driven . Hybrid DSS systems are computerized systems that take advantage of combined DSS systems. A DSS may present information graphically and may include...

Because Beachside Bytes Bar and Grill will be accessing and storing sensitive information from customers and employees, guidelines, laws, and policies have been established to insure the privacy of such information is secure. Only those authorized to view, change, or remove such data must be fully authenticated through proper procedures. In addition, established protocols and encryption methods must be use to access database information via the Internet. This section of the report will address these and other challenges related to IT privacy and security. PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is an information security standard that was created from a joint effort of major credit card companies in 2004. Its purpose is to create controls that would reduce credit card fraud. This standard is built around 6 principles and 12 requirements. It is assumed that Beachside Bytes intends to credit cards as a form of payment and must therefore comply with the following principles set forth. The first principle, "Build and Maintain a Secure Network", is enforced through 2 requirements: (1) Install and maintain a firewall, and (2) do not use defaults (IE. passwords). Firewalls create a single point of defense between two networks. Since the Internet is web of networks, it is important that...

Because my organizations operations span from customer facing store fronts, to large data center operations, the selection of a single information processing solution is almost impossible. We utilize many different information processing solutions often tied into each other, and dependent on each other to accomplish my organizations goals. We currently utilize a vast portfolio of systems from each of the three types of information systems identified in this course. The types of IS we use include transaction processing systems (TPS) (Reynolds & Stair, 2012) to address the business needs of the retail stores, management information systems (MIS) (Reynolds & Stair, 2012) to address the business processes of our organization, and a number...
