...New System Proposal Team A CIS/207 February 23rd 2014 Riordan Manufacturing requires an innovative information system proficient in the organization of product sales, which allows management of data by employees from computers and mobile devices. This new system would contain customer records and be password protected for sales agent’s individual accounts and further promote confidentiality of client and corporate data. Information security and carbon footprints will need to be addressed with creation of a new data warehouse. The cloud computing system would be an idyllic system for addressing the needs of Riordan Manufacturing and would be an inexpensive conversion from the old systems. Cloud computing initially evolved from visualization. The use of visualization would allow Riordan to separate its software, business applications, and data from hardware sources that may experience an issue. The cloud offers storage, network, and hardware virtualization. Businesses can set up private clouds as storage warehouses for company information. Information technology virtualization enhances the business’s assets and offers lower administration fees, reduced maintenance, and consolidation of company information for strategic marketing initiatives in one location. With this in place, there would be less risk of possible loss of important and pertinent information. The entire marketing division would be combined into one superior database for easier comparison of information. Switching...

Paxton New System Proposal In the past few decades, technology and business have been progressing hand in hand and has had remarkable developments. It is a struggle to find reliable software systems that can streamline workflow and increase profits. We plan to take it one-step further by bringing a customizable computer system that can compute to any business. Riordan is going to need a system that allows different departments to work closely together, fulfill orders efficiently and on time. A central website that is connected to each business site around the globe, this will allow different sites to interact on the same project creating collaboration and efficient way to conduct business. Microsoft SharePoint will become the platform to create, develop, and bring new ideas. It will also increase customer loyalty and provide a more efficient process, from order submission to finished product.

...New System Proposal Riordan Manufacturing is a multi-billion plastics manufacturer that produces and sells plastics around the world. Being a multi-billion dollar company does not make them immune to the challenges of the business world. It seems that Riordan Manufacturing is facing some challenges with seamlessly pulling and putting together the necessary data to run the necessary reports to present to leadership, which shows all of the bottom lines of the finance and administration portion of the business. This paper will provide a system to help Riordan Manufacturing become a leader in the electronic reporting. Challenge Riordan Manufacturing is currently operating with a pair of AS400’s, which are seriously outdated and not recommended for a multi-billion dollar industry. This system is a home grown data entry system that was not designed to create and run reports to drill down to the bottom dollar spent. It can run reports, but the reports are far from accurate. With Riordan planning to move their organization across the Qiantang River, they will need a system that will provide accurate data so the management team will know whether or not to eliminate or expand jobs. System Proposal Riordan needs a system that will keep track of the entire product on hand, the product being shipped out, the amount of product being requested, the amount of product manufactured, and any profit or loss between the manufactured and sell of the product. The DLCSG system is the answer...

...New System Proposal What is 3D printing? Three-dimensional printing uses a power-binder technology to print physical models using a water based binders that sprayed though ink jet cartridges, constructing models from plaster or starch powders. During the construction of the models, the models are cover with the powder, and when it has cured, the models are removed and de-powered and ready to use. Post processing involves other medium to enhance characteristics and functionality. Epoxy resin provides strength; penetration takes about 4 minutes, cure time it takes about 4 hours. CA resin, hard surface coating, penetration takes 1 minute, cure time takes about 3 minutes. Elastomer provides flexibility to the parts and cure time takes about 24 hours. Wax, provides minimal strength with 100% penetration, cure time is about 15 minutes. Painting provides realistic finishing and it can be applied to raw models or after resin infiltration. Advantages of 3D printing Speed- 3D printing reduces time to create a part from a day to a few hours. Cost- materials are cheaper so allows customers to make more parts for less money. Versatility- ability to infiltrate parts with a variety of material expanding the range of applications. Colour- 3D printers can create parts from a 24-bit palette of colors, giving it a multiple color prototype. Materials- offer a range of applications.

...New System Proposal Two Robert L. Rossi, Jr. IT/205 May 25, 2014 Rafael Orta New System Proposal Two The flow diagram that is provided with the new system proposal shows how the flow of data will be processed and controlled. The areas that needed improving are Sales & Marketing, Finance & Accounting, Human Resources, Operations (Quality and Supply Chain) and Information Technology & Security. The diagram is a brief description of the process that data/information will flow. Nonetheless, the diagram has arrows pointing to the next section but all information will flow from top to bottom. The position titles that are in the diagram are the only ones that will have this information available to them. Floor level employees and first level management will be limited to this information. At the top of the diagram I have the CEO, CIO, and CFO. These are your top three senior management and they should have all information available to them at all times. After doing more research I was made aware that Riordan does not have a COO but instead a CFO. If this company also had a COO then they would be in this top level management as well. The data information then goes to each department umbrella. From there it then flows to those that are top level managers in that department. This is to help keep information / data organized and flowing properly. This will also help senior level management make decisions that are needed. This change in the system and the...

...The intent of this proposal is to describe the effectiveness of switching from Microsoft® Excel to Microsoft ® Access and how internal communications will help modernize the sales department. Let me start by saying that Microsoft® Access is a user-friendly tool and is simple to learn. It provides for the easier adding, subtracting, and altering of data, in addition to offering the ability for more than one user to update tables at the same time. By converting the data we currently hold in Microsoft® Excel spreadsheets to Microsoft ®Access, we will be able to track different aspects of our business more effectively. Benefits delivered once data has been entered in Microsoft® Access: • We will also be able to use the reports to drive positive business results. • We will be able to track sales trends by associate. • We will also be able to track the buying patterns of our customers allowing us to stock the appropriate items by sales surges. • Our sales force will be able to use the database to more effectively streamline their work and understand how to be more productive with our customers. Although many of the items listed above are possible in Microsoft® Excel, the data must be inputted to the spreadsheets and work books and can be more difficult to find the information the user is looking for. Access is the better solution for an extensive customer list. In our business of Party Plates there is a need to categorize certain information to create a database that will...

...Proposal for a New Health Care System XXXXX HCA/210 Proposal for a New Health Care System The government or insurance companies are not entirely responsible of reducing the expenditures on health care.
