The use of Word is easy for beginners to learn with little to no skill and become advanced users in a short time. The application is used throughout many businesses, schools’, and home usage. Five common errors and support to solving them: * Editing and placing header and footers can be done through; double clicking the top or bottom of the page and clicking on ‘Insert’ tab. Clicking on either Header or Footer will give you preset templates to give you a quick setup to fill in with the information you would like to insert. If you are creating a document for a business letter, you can be saved as a template for future use and quicker access. This can be done through ‘Quick Parts’, choosing ‘Field’ and adding exactly what you desire your document to look like and highlight you header by clicking to the left of the margin. Click on ‘Header’ again in the group box and ‘Save Selection to Quick Parts Gallery…’ to save this format for easy retrieval later. * Templates can be a timesaver when sending or printing many reports at different times.

Include what database applications should be used: Microsoft® Access®, IBM® DB2®, Oracle®, and so on. Conclude by proposing improvements. For large organizations, restrict the scope of the paper to the department in which you work. The use of database in the business environment has become an integral part in business processing. According to an article, Database Evolution: Microsoft Access within an Organization's Database Strategy, Chung explains that databases are used in a variety of levels for various reasons: Enterprise level, Department level, Workgroup/Team Level and Individual/small groups. With these, database systems are used as data centers in order for companies to process data, whether customer transactions, storing information (business) or to maintain security. The most popular database used today is Microsoft Office Access, or which most know it as Microsoft Access. This was developed my Microsoft Corporation and can also be used as a “frontend” with other products as the “backend” table. Which means that all the data processing can be done by Microsoft SQL Server, a Microsoft product and other database applications, for example Oracle. Microsoft Access is the main database application used by our company (Affiliated Computer Service). Due to the nature of our business our main focus is on the employees. Now if we go back to the...

...method of paper sheets and old file system method. Every corporate organization poses some standards concerning how attendance is to be confirmed for staff in offices. This is to enable the management of the organization identify those staff that are punctual and competent, that is why keeping the accurate record of attendance is very important. Also in institutions, tracking and monitoring staff time of attendance could pose a tedious task, time consuming and as well prone to errors. As an alternative to the traditional manual clocking process by staff in offices, biometrics characteristics can be used for authenticating staff. This research will focus on developing a Fingerprint based Biometric Clocking System. The fingerprint Biometrics is adopted in this research work due to the fact that it is one of the most successful applications of biometric technology. In the manual signing processes, where a sheet of paper is placed at the entrance of the office for staff to write their names and signature as a form of confirming their presence for a particular day in the office, falsification in staff attendance mostly occur. A situation whereby a staff can sign on behalf of his or her colleague as being present in the office when that is not true. This can be so difficult to prevent from happening especially for large offices where row count can take longer time. The trending concern in this modern age is regarding national security, identifying theft as well as on-line terrorism...

...have to first select the best database environment for the project. Within this situation the database would not house confidential information so the need for strong security would not be necessary. For this particular database the amount of data that is being imported into the database is rather small. The company has 4 main clients and 350 employees. The system that I would select for this project would be Access. Access can handle all of the data that is needed to create this Project Database. SQL and Oracle are create database structures when dealing with huge amounts of data, this would not be the case in this situation and it would not be feasible to spend the extra money on these systems when Microsoft office is readily available (in most offices). There are two commonly used database architectures one tier and two tier architectures ("Techopedia", 2015). One-tier architecture involves putting all of the required components for a software application or technology on a single server or platform ("Techopedia", 2015).

An analysis of three different organizations shows how much technology plays a role in day-day-business transactions. U.S. Probation Office’s Computer Software The United States Probation Office is a part of a national networking computer system. Each probation office across the country uses the same type of software. This network must be very secure due to the type of people the organization serves. Confidentiality is very important and legal issues may arise if it is violated. Therefore, the organization’s networking systems are designed to help protect information. The probation office uses two operating systems: Microsoft Windows and Novell Client Systems. Microsoft Windows is the standard operating system used on most personal computers. Only a few programs are accessible through Microsoft Windows. These programs include Word Perfect and Microsoft Office programs. Novell Client System is a more secure network operating system. All sensitive client information is stored on this operating system. This system requires a user name and password. This password is changed every 90 days to ensure that it is secure. The probation office’s network is extremely secure. However,...
