- How important do you think it is for FIMC and other companies offering roadside assistance services to provide customers with access to services via a mobile app? Do you think a mobile app will provide FIMC with a competitive advantage, or is mobile access something that most customers have come to expect? A recent survey by IBM of 585 mobile application developers and managers found that only one-third of mobile development projects successfully met project criteria in terms of budget, schedule, and project objectives. Given that, what are some of the potential risks for companies, such as FIMC, that develop and deploy a mobile app on such a tight schedule? When developing the FIMC app, PointSource used an IBM tool called rational test workbench, which allowed developers to find and fix many software bugs before the app was released. Do research on the web to find out more about this took and how it might help developers cut down on the number of software bugs.arrow_forwardAn IT infrastructure's design may be improved via audits and accountability.

- The Shining Stars primary school was the recent recipient of a technology grant to source and implement a school management system. The school administrator is not technology savvy and therefore sought advice from three of the board members who were knowledgeable in the information systems and technology field. One director advised the administrator to purchase an off-the-shelf solution that would allow the school to get the system configured and up and running in a short period with reasonable costs. The second advised the administrator to invest in the development of a unique system to meet the custom requirements of the school’s administration. He suggested that this would create a closer fit to the school’s needs compared to purchasing software, but will cost more. The third director suggested using an open-source solution which would have little if any upfront costs but may require some customization. The school administrator must decide about which solution to go with.
