...Corporate Memo Student ENG/221 February 30, 2014 Instructor Corporate Memo Memorandum To: CIO Jeff Bridges CC: CIO Support Team From: Student Date: 6/30/2014 ------------------------------------------------- Re: Choices for Web Conferencing Software Choosing the Best Available Software There are many web conference choices available for almost any purpose. Our team would benefit greatly from most of them, but their value varies greatly by cost, usability, and resource usage. I have selected three different programs for your review. Software Selection Firstly, all of our onsite users are currently using the Microsoft Windows operating system. Some users located offsite use Macintosh OS X. This would have presented a problem in the past, but luckily almost every choice today allows for use in both cases. Software Number 1: Cisco WebEx This software is excellent. It allows for almost any application that could be desired in a business setting. The price is $19.99 a month for the annual plan, it allows for HD video conferencing, desktop sharing, mobile phone access, remote control, VOIP, and can be initiated by a single host computer. Software Number 2: Adobe Connect This software also allows for basically anything we could expand to use. It’s price is $45.00 a month per host. The service offers HD and SD video conferencing, desktop sharing, mobile phone access, remote control, VOIP, great document sharing support, and like all others listed here, a virtual shareable whiteboard...

...Operating system : An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function. Time-sharing operating systems schedule tasks for efficient use of the system and may also include accounting software for cost allocation of processor time, mass storage, printing, and other resources. For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating system acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware, although the application code is usually executed directly by the hardware and will frequently make a system call to an OS function or be interrupted by it. Operating systems can be found on almost any device that contains a computer—from cellular phones and video game consoles to supercomputers and web servers. Examples of popular modern operating systems include Android, BSD, iOS, Linux, OS X, QNX, Microsoft Windows, Windows Phone, and IBM z/OS. All these, except Windows, Windows Phone and z/OS, share roots in UNIX. Smartphone A Smartphone, or smart phone, is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than a feature phone. The first smartphones combined the functions of a personal digital assistant (PDA), including email...

...consumers via the Internet, Wi-Fi, and cellular networks. Application stores developed alongside Web 2.0 and began with Apple’s App Store. The store’s huge success has since attracted other players to the market. As of October 2009, the App store has earned over US$ 2.4 billion for Apple and the independent developers the store uses. Over 93,000 applications are currently available, and over 2 billion downloads were made. There are two kinds of application store depending on the type of platform provider used. . Handset and OS vendors: Currently, most top smartphone vendors have launched their own application stores. Examples include Nokia’s Ovi Store, RIM’s BlackBerry App World, Palm’s App Catalog, Google’s Android Market, Microsoft Windows Marketplace for Mobile (WMM), and Samsung’s Mobile Innovator. Mobile carriers: Examples include China Mobile’s Mobile Market, China Telecom’s AppMarket, and Shanghai Unicom’s Wo-Store HIGHLIGHTS Most smartphone and OS vendors are becoming involved in the application store market because of the huge success of the App Store. Most platform providers use the 30/70 revenue share model, under which the platform provider takes 30% and the developer 70%. Licensing, application localization, and payment systems will be the most crucial factors for platform providers in China. China Mobile’s Mobile Market will be one of the winners in China’s application store market because of its competitive payment system and strong developer ecosystem. Regarding...

...Project: Project Part 1: Executive Summary First World Savings and Loan is a financial institution that processes credit card transactions and loan applications online. We are currently considering implementing an open source infrastructure. This could potentially save us over $4,000,000 per year in licensing fees for the software we are currently using. However, due to our business needs; we must still comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), Payment Card Industry - Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). We must comply with SOX, because we are a publicly-traded financial institution; PCI-DSS, because we process online credit card transactions; and GLBA, because we are a financial institution. All of the regulations of these three compliancy laws must be met, while still maintaining the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) triad. All security requirements for SOX, PCI-DSS, and GLBA can be achieved using Linux and open source infrastructure. Some examples of open source software that we might use are: Web Server - Apache Web Filtering - DansGuardian Network Firewall - Turtle Firewall VPN - Endian Firewall Community IDS/IPS - Suricata Database - MySQL File Server - Samba SMTP Server - hMailServer I would recommend that we use a "Defense in Depth" strategy, having multiple layers of access protection. We need to have an IDS/IPS on...

...9-708-480 REV: SEPTEMBER 8, 2008 DAVID B. YOFFIE MICHAEL SLIND Apple Inc., 2008 In January 2007, three decades after its incorporation, Apple Computer shed the second word in its name and became Apple Inc.1 With that move, the company signaled a fundamental shift away from its historic status as a vendor of the Macintosh personal computer (PC) line. Mac sales remained vital to Apple’s future, but they now accounted for less than half of its total revenue. A year and a half later, in June 2008, the company posted results that ratified the success of its leap beyond the PC business: In its third quarter, Apple earned a net profit of $1.07 billion on $7.46 billion in revenue, for a 38% increase on year-ago quarterly sales. Annual results were also impressive. Sales in the 2007 fiscal year topped $24 billion, up 24% from the previous year. (See Exhibit 1a—Apple Inc.: Selected Financial Information, plus Exhibit 1b and Exhibit 1c.) Investors, meanwhile, sent Apple’s stock to new heights: Despite a sharp drop in early 2008, its share price had risen more than 15-fold since 2003 and now hovered near its all-time high. (See Exhibit 2—Apple Inc.: Daily Closing Share Price.) Non-PC product lines drove much of Apple’s financial performance. The company’s iPod line of portable music players, together with its iTunes Store, had upended the music business. With the iPhone, a multifunction handheld device released in June 2007, Apple aimed to do the same for the mobile phone market....

The author has worked for a number of companies in the two-sided markets discussed in this paper including Bloomberg, Microsoft, and Visa. © David S. Evans 2002. Abstract “Two-sided” markets have two different groups of customers that businesses have to get on board to succeed—there is a “chicken-and-egg” problem that needs to be solved. These industries range from dating clubs (men and women), to video game consoles (game developers and users), to credit cards (cardholders and merchants), and to operating system software (application developers and users). They include some of the most important industries in the economy. Two-sided firms behave in ways that seem surprising from the vantage point of traditional industries, but in ways that seem like plain common sense once one understands the business problems they must solve. Prices do not and prices cannot follow marginal costs...
