Second, Google is offering a common platform among devices , they want to "standardise" the cellphone market and by offering the same thing to Evonne to run in different phones is a good way to do it. The way they are making money is through advertisement given that they are passing their knowledge to other companies to use their OS. Finally when it came to Symbian we can say that they sell adaptable licensees and work on one basic OS. They make it work in order to sell it to a lot of people by working with the ones making the apps, so in the end they offer a better product. So also allows them to create money from them and not from final costumers. 2. What is your assessment of Microsoft’ s performance in the mobile space? Microsoft was not new to entering markets late, and the mobile phone one was no difference. Even when they did not have any experience in mobile phone Microsoft had a huge advantage, they had a huge amount of cash and a huge budget for research and development, resources that allowed them to create the Windows Mobile platform. In my opinion they have a really good strategy, because they took advantage of their stents in corporate desktop computing and aim to those costumers and at the same time they were making money through a...

... whether for professional or personal purposes. While the combination of these capabilities is radically altering the means by which enterprises need to do business, the move to a mobile-enabled world is creating tremendous opportunities for enterprises to leverage mobility as a means of driving high performance and ensuring competitive advantage. Some of the key factors that are driving enterprises to develop mobile strategies are as follows: Rapidly expanding use of mobile devices. The rapid adoption of "smart" mobile devices by both consumers and employees, coupled with the increase in bring your own device (BYOD) in the work environment, is placing significant challenges on enterprises to meet a broader set of requirements. In particular, enterprises face tremendous pressure to support a widening array of application functions (e.g., sales, customer care, ERP, marketing), technology platforms (e.g., native OS, Web OS, mobile enterprise application platform [MEAP], cloud), and devices (e.g., smartphones, smart tablets, smart vehicles). Expanding integration of "mobile" machine-to-machine (M2M) capabilities. The use of M2M capabilities increasingly involves what are essentially mobile devices. Just consider telematics, including vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and fleet management, as well as mobile telehealth applications involving medication and medical care reminders that include the...

...Mobile computing and social networks are part of the daily lives of millions of Americans. “48% of American adults own a mobile computing device in some form according to the latest Nielsen data.” (Knott, 2012) As far as social networking site usage “over 65% of all internet users in the United States use social networking sites.” (Brenner, 2012) It is obvious that mobile computing and social networking on the web is not a passing fade. There are many uses and applications for mobile computing and social networks. In this paper a few of these aspects will be examined. First an assessment will be made as to the effectiveness and efficiency mobile-based applications provide to capture geolocation data and customer data, and quickly upload to a processing server without users having to use a desktop system. Second, an evaluation of the benefits realized by consumers because of the ability to gain access to their own data via mobile applications will be completed. Third, the challenges of developing applications that run on mobile devices because of the small screen size will be examined. Forth, the methods that can be used to decide which platform to support, i.e., iPhone, iPad, Windows Phone, or Android will be described. Fifth, due to mobile applications requiring high availability because end users need to have continuous access to IT and IS systems, a discussion of the ways of providing high availability will be undertaken. Finally, because mobile devices are subjected to hacking...

...Running head: QUALITY SURVEY SERVER Quality Survey Server Eduardo Woods Western Governors University Quality Survey Server Quality Survey Server The world of healthcare is changing. Patient care is reported out to the public by WebMD, Google, and quality surveys. Patients are more informed, but don’t have the full context to base their opinions in reality. Hospital visits, whether inpatient or outpatient are measured by HCAHPS. (The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) The survey is a great tool to measure patient outcomes and level of quality provided by hospital staff members. The disadvantage is the data is collected weeks, to months afterwards and the feedback is not being addressed in a timely manner. The “Quality Survey Server” is a new opportunity, a new and immediate way to collect and make data-driven decisions. The QSS is a service that hospitals can use to acquire their patient experience outcomes. The survey questions will measure patient’s experience either before their appointment or after. The development of the survey will be based on management choices. Data will be collected and put onto a survey poll report that the manager or leader of the department can view real-time. The Quality Survey Server has other modules available for purchase. The QSS dashboard is a service which aggregates the data and delivers a comprehensive quality metrics dashboard. The dashboard will provide detailed analysis and graphics providing...

...Center | Executive Proposal | | James Ellis | 2/21/2015 | [ The following proposal will outline an effective solution for Advanced Research to incorporate in their security audits and assessments. ] | Executive Summary Security testing software is a very important entity for many organizations as it provides security to a company’s network by identifying and testing vulnerabilities before potential hackers can exploit them. Advanced Research has been the victim of cybercriminal efforts to take intellectual assets and sell it to their competitors. It is assumed that our network of corporate documents has been infiltrated by illegal sources more than once. The amount of malware being released to the Internet and infiltrating corporate networks is escalating at an alarming, exponential pace that is doubling every year, (Kaspersky, 2014). Even more disconcerting is that in spite of software vendors efforts to provide patches for vulnerabilities in an expeditious manner as they are discovered, the number of vulnerabilities discovered on existing systems has also increased exponentially, (Kaspersky, 2014). In addition, over 41% of all computers connected to a network were attacked at least once, and this number does not account for the number of attacks to Android mobile devices for which over 98% of all malware is designed to attack, (Kaspersky, 2014). The following is a plan for implementation and purchase of the Tenable Network Security Center for the protection...

...Mobile Devices Now days, wireless communication and devices are very flexible, convenient, and easy to use everywhere. With the introduction of wireless local area network (WLAN) many users find it very flexible to move laptops from one place to another within the office while maintaining connectivity with the network, sharing data and applications with network system and other users with compatible devices without been tied to printer cables and other peripheral device connection. This is very important in a doctor’s office because patients and doctors move from room to room depends on the type of test they are doing. Having mobile device makes it easier for them to do their jobs easier and it can even help cut wiring costs (Patricia & Donna, 2008). In the other hand there are many risks inherent in using wireless and mobile technologies. Wireless networks face the same threats as conventional wired network because intruders who gain access to information systems via wireless communication can bypass firewall protection and expose patient’s information and data. Besides lunching denial of service attacks, insert viruses or malicious code, disable operations, most importantly they can violate the privacy of patients and even steal their identities. Risk of using wireless or mobile technology makes it easier to come up with a plan is place to try preventing further actions. This open connectivity brings with it risks, however, some of which are similar to those in wired...

...Mobile Computing and Social Networks CIS 500 June 4, 2012 Mobile computing and social networks are not only good for keeping in touch with friends and family or playing games, but business have also gotten on the band wagon and developed apps to conduct work. One of the apps that are being used often is geo-location. This type of application is a technology that uses data obtained from an individual’s mobile device to identify or describe their actual physical location at a given point in time. This app benefits not only the business that uses them but also the general public who has it downloaded on their phone. It’s efficient for us as customers because we can receive information that is instantly relevant to a purchase decision, to location-specific discounts and services (Jaiswal & Nayak, 2010, p. 1). Business use this for marketing strategies in order to get new customers and returning customers to keep coming back and making purchases. Other ways that business uses geo-data are Know Your Customer (KYC), delivery and assessment management, cloud balancing, content customization, vehicle Ad Hoc Networks, and Real-time incident management just to name a few. It has become easier and easier to capture this information due to the ability of mobile phones, GPS devices, even swiping are debt or credit cards. Every time we use one of these devices information goes into a data warehouse for businesses to use. There are two ways that geo-location data is...
