Three business problems and the solutions, an evaluation of Club IT's resources, customers, and supply chain, and how various departments can uses these solutions will be discussed in following paragraphs. There are a couple business problems that should be fixed to improve Club IT. First and foremost, the internet connection needs to be upgraded. Switching from the dial-up connection to high-speed internet connection will be a little a little bit more expensive. It may seem like they are saving money with sticking with dial-up but they lose a lot of valuable time waiting for the connection. Dial--up also requires a phone line. High-speed internet does not. Another problem that can be changed to improve Club IT is the latency which is associated with the dial-up connection. High latency can make any type of video conferencing or online gaming very difficult, or almost unattainable. By upgrading to high-speed internet this problem will be fixed. Club IT will have more potential with this upgrade (Rainer & Turban, 2008). The customers must be happy for a business to be successful. However, most of the customers use the internet regularly.

...Service Request SR-rm-004 part2 JOE BLOW BSA/375 December 12th 2010 Mr. Swallows Service Request SR-rm-004 part2 Riordan Manufacturing human resources information system project has reached the end of the current systems analysis phase of the system development life cycle. The information gathering process has been completed and we must move on to the next step in our SDLC. Riordan’s executive management has made clear that they wish to make the system more efficient and secure. While conducting our analysis of the Riordan Manufacturing we found many issues that need to be addressed and several inefficiencies. We also found many security concerns that need to be addressed in the interest of the company and its personnel. Application architecture and process design Designing forms and reports is a user-focused activity that typically follows a prototyping approach (Dennis, Wixom, & Roth, Chapter 8, 2009). Prototypes may help to model desired behavior, design the user interface, or analyze resource utilization (Bass, Clements, & Kazman, Chapter 1, 2003). The analyst will take in to consideration the data we compiled during part one of the service request to design a prototype of the system. This prototype will be heavily based on the needs and goals of Riordan Manufacturing executive management and take in to account some of the input from the human resources department management and staff. We learned in part one of this service request that Riordan Manufacturing’s...

Work Related Project Analysis Part2

...Work-Related Project Analysis Part 2 BSA/376 October 15, 2012 Andrew Nash, MBA Introduction to Elements of System Design Managing a live project past the planning stage is a stressful and complex process. It takes a very special person to do this kind of job and even though it is stressful, that special person thrives in this kind of work and are very good at managing it. For a successful project management, there are four areas that must be controlled and they are: 1. Assigning tasks to team members after organizing each individual into a team. 2. Closely monitoring and controlling the progress of the project. 3. Communication monitoring for the project. 4. Keeping track of all the open activities in the lifetime of the project. Systems design is the structuring the components and organizing the process of the system so that the new system can be programmed. The components are composed of the network, software, application architecture, system interfaces, user interfaces, the system appthat were built during the analysis. The outputs are the models or diagrams that describes the architecture of the system and detailed logic within the various components of the programming. Traditional Approach to Design The traditional approach to systems design is the data flow diagram which is enhanced by the addition of system boundary in which the designer sketches the system boundary to show the overall system.

...Service Request SR-rm-022, Part 2 BSA/375 Service Request SR-rm-022, Part 2 The application architecture and design determines the possible technologies used by information systems as well as the information, data, process, interface, and network components. This is the framework for the over-all design of a system. Riordan’s team will now need to decide which hardware and software Riordan will be need for their system based on the requirements needed for the new HR system. This part is crucial in order to build a reliable application through System Development Life Cycle phases (SDLC) (Valacich, 2012). Riordan needs portability, therefore a thin client/server architecture can be used. This should allow for the system to conduct transactions via the internet thru employee’s mobile and desktop browsers. Incorporation of the updated HR system with the current software is a requisite. To meet system requirements for integration with employee desktop computers Riordan should use a client /server architecture. This a high tech system will allow better integration of hardware, and will handle the payload. This is because of the client/server architecture dependability, scalability, Efficiency, and readiness. The client/server architecture is only as good and secure as its operating system, this is why the upgrade to Windows Server 2012 operating system will happen. Windows Server 2012 capabilities range from (Microsoft, 2014): * Server Virtualization * Storage *...

...Michael Turner BSA/375 Karen Knox 10/31/15 Riordan Manufacturing Part 2 of the SR-22 Security protocols are of paramount importance within a company and should be maintained by all levels from development to end user operation of any software. “Security is the primary responsibility of the operations group, which consists of staff responsible for operating security controls such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems and routine backup and recovery operations” (Dennis, Wilcox and Roth, 2012) However, it is essential for security concerns to be held at high importance at each step, especially during the development stage as developers have the responsibility of incorporating and even building the initial security protocols within a new system or application. Outside of the software exists the human condition in which company policy and procedure is expected to hold some precedence. Anyone having access to company data, such as employment information, client records, customer inquiry notations, company information and communications; must be kept secure to maintain the integrity and trust of the company, its clients and stakeholders. To assist in insuring this, software encryption systems must be established along with standard procedures for accessing data. Depending on the sensitivity of data being stored, their exist a wide variety of security protocols that can be implemented, some of which far exceed the standardized limitations of username/password lock out’s...

Ethics Training Strategies - Task2 Part2 Hr - Rdjt

...Ethics Report – task2 Human Resources RJDT Strategies for ethics training on the job should be applied to all levels from temporary workers to upper management. There must be no basis for resentment among employees because of a real or perceived double standard of morality. The company itself must also model these standards to the public. Consistency builds credibility, a contrast to competitors and non-competing companies alike, who may not be as accountable to outsiders. “This stage involves the use of managerial, communication, administrative, and persuasive abilities to ensure the choice is carried out. The success of a decision is based on how it is implemented.” (Becker 2011) b.1 Strategies Mentoring will help employees learn better ways of applying the code of ethics and understanding ways it can help them be more successful on the job. Modeling is a natural extension of mentoring, since the company sees all employees as co-workers, and peer pressure is a useful tool for reinforcing positive behaviors. Forthrightness helps build trust. Accountability is an asset to relationships, and a good role model for employees following the code of ethics. Shifts power to the employee to determine how to apply the ethical standard and be responsible for the result. This is one factor in raising job satisfaction and performance, making employees see that every person’s actions count. When one employee sees another engage in ethical, code-conscious activity, there is greater...

Actuarial Ethics

...Essay Ethics is a social science that refers to the study of human conduct and moral principles. The role of ethics and moral judgement is increasingly playing a more significant role in the corporate world. The concepts of personal values and moral judgement are inextricably connected. As a result, I believe that as professionals, whether we choose to act according to our morally intelligent conclusion, or ignore it, is highly related to individuals underlying personal values. When professionals are required into making moral decisions, they are forced to rely on their ethical reasoning. However Maggid’s web article argues that, Modern Actuary ethics goes further than the ‘minimal legal compliance’ (Maggid, 2010). Whilst an individual may know the ethical code, does that mean he or she will choose the morally right choice? Maggid seeks to answer this issue by extending our understanding of ethics into a combination of three key components. These three components are ethical reasoning, underlying personal values and reasonable self-interest. Subsequently, Maggid supports the notion that personal values are related to whether we choose to act morally. Underlying personal values refers to an individual’s core philosophy that drives ones belief and psychological reasoning. From a young age, it is our personal values that drive our rational thinking. It is a form of identity that allows an individual to distinguish from what is right and wrong. The issue is, that in the corporate...

Fraud Investigation

...Financial Statement Fraud | By “Fraud Master” Team, Introduction of Financial Statement Fraud Financial statement fraud is by definition, the deliberate misstatements or omissions of amounts or disclosures of financial statements to deceive financial statement users, particularly investors and creditors.  In other words, these fraudulent activities take place when a business entity engages in certain practices designed to hide or maneuver its accounts in order to remain attractive to investors. Theoretically, there are three factors that appear to be present in every case of financial statement fraud. These factors are an apparent situational pressure, a perceived opportunity to commit and conceal the dishonest act, and some way to rationalize the act as justifiable. In simple terms, there is something that prompts otherwise honest people to consider dishonest acts (pressure), along with the perception that they can get away with it (opportunity), and an ability to justify why their actions were not dishonest (rationalization).  This theory is better known as the fraud triangle which infers that if all three of these factors are present, there is a high likelihood that a fraud will be committed. Major Categories of Financial Schemes There are many different forms in which financial statement fraud can be perpetrated.  The most common ones include: * Falsification, alteration, or manipulation of material financial records, supporting documents, or business...
