- Do research to determine the current level of adoption of DevOps around the globe. Which organizations seem to be leaders in DevOps? What initiatives are these companies taking that makes them leaders?arrow_forwardInitially thought to be cost-effective for only very large companies, enterprise systems are now being implemented in SMEs to reduce costs, improve service, and increase sales revenue. A firms finance and accounting personnel play a dual role in the implementation of such a system: (1) they must ensure a good payback on the investment in information systems and (2) they must also ensure that the system meets the needs of the finance and accounting organization. Identify three or four tasks that the finance and accounting people need to perform to ensure that these two goals are met.arrow_forwardIdentify an information system frequently employed by people in a career field you are interested in. Discuss how you might be involved as a user in the development or acquisition of such a system for your future company. Identify three things that you could do as a project participant that would greatly improve the likelihood of a successful project. Now, identify three things that you could do (or fail to do) that could greatly diminish the probability of success of such a project.arrow_forward
- Organizational environments are divided into general and specialised components. Use a well-known company to help you figure out how each one works. What are the advantages of being familiar with the surrounding environment of a business?arrow_forwardThe 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.

- A recent IBM research of 585 managers and developers of mobile applications found that just around one-third of mobile development projects met their goals, budget, and time. What risks exist for companies like FIMC that produce and release mobile apps in such a short amount of time?arrow_forwardHow 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_forwardWhat would motivate you, if you were in control of a project, to use collaboration software?arrow_forward
- Comprehensive and methodical, a systematic literature review (SLR) assesses the previous research in a certain area. Finding, analysing, and synthesising all the research and material that are pertinent to a subject requires a methodical and disciplined methodology. An SLR is a great resource for learning about the cutting-edge technology, techniques, and procedures that have been used to the development of comparable IT systems. An improved IT system may be designed using this information as a reference to the areas where additional research and study is needed.arrow_forwardPlease describe the problems with the information technology at the AIT labs, as well as the reasons why they happened and the potential solutions you have considered.
