Expected results are to define the business requirements for the development of a new HR system, and to create a detailed system design and project implementation plan to complete the project. The project should be completed in approximately six months, so the new system can be utilized in the second quarter of next year. The key stakeholders I would gather information from in Riordan Manufacturing are the director of human resources Yvonne McMillan, President & CEO of Riordan manufacturing Dr. Michael Riordan, Employee Relations Manager Andrea Gamby, Compensation & benefits manager Terri Carranza, payroll manager Silvija Peterson, Recruiter-Professional staff Eric Myers. I would choose these individuals due to the fact that they are directly related with the HR department. Other key stakeholders information would be gathered from are the employees of Riordan Manufacturing. When choosing which key stakeholders to consider, you consider the people who can affect the system or who will be affected by the system.

...website. And suppose your refrigerator were spewing spam e-mail, enraging people you'd never even met. The Internet of Things has been touted as many things. But what you haven't heard is that it could be your worst enemy. Yet all of these incidents have actually occurred, according to news reports. And it's likely that even more disturbing transgressions have been taking place unbeknownst to homeowners. For example, researchers have discovered that in some cases, they can hack the Internet of Things to intercept each document you print and divert it to a remote site, use your smart TV to bug your house, and even control the traffic light on the corner outside your home. For although the Internet of Things offers great convenience by linking our gadgets—an estimated 50 billion of them worldwide by 2020—it can also let hackers take control of your house, your car, and even your body. The vulnerabilities lie all around you. A recent HP Research study reported that the average Internet of Things gadget has an astounding 25 security flaws, and 70 percent have at least one such vulnerability. Many of these problems may yield to solutions like those adopted by the personal computer industry decades ago. As I'll explain later, there are also some that require new approaches that take into account the vast scale and narrow profit margin of the emerging world of Internetaugmented products. LET'S START WITH YOUR HOME. Your smart meter—if you don't have one...
