...Use of Microsoft SharePoint for Configuration Management in IT Organizations In the contemporary business marketplace, the requirement for a technology-based system to provide the tools for global organizations to archive and manage information has become an increasingly present issue. The use of a corporate-wide portal, supported by a collaborative, content management platform, provides an Information Management System (IMS) that culminates organizational information and intellectual capital, document storage, and collaborative workspaces into a single resource, accessible through a centralized portal interface (Microsoft, 2006, p. 14). Configuration Management (CM) encompasses the management of requirements, production, testing, technical documentation, and organizational processes during the lifecycle of a software system’s development. Within Information Technology (IT) organizations, CM defines a series of systematic controls for changes and developments to the software system, which ensure the integrity and traceability of the environment and software configuration throughout the development lifecycle. The CM process is a culmination of activities and support from each level of the organization, ensuring compliance with all applicable standards and guidelines for software development and production. Figure 1. Overview of Configuration and Change Management Process Integral to effective employment of CM processes is collaboration amongst the following cross-functional...

...arrange and direct their basic organization needs to obtain the maximum returns on their information systems investments. Management has issues with networks and structure of computer systems as they get more and more complicated. There are configuration issues so order and control like IT configuration administration are becoming ever more serious in order to keep hardware and software operating at the highest point. Management issues with IT configuration management is there must be continual methods in place that generate and preserve a current record of all the components of the basic organization. Skilled IT management thinks that IT configuration management by itself is not sufficient to avoid system breakdowns as well as additional technology issues. In order to be most victorious, IT configuration management must be part of a comprehensive in content IT service management plan that also contains modifications, events/occurrences, predicaments, and discharge administration. The ISO (International Standards Organization) does not have an official level or quality for configuration management although class administration necessitates tracking certification and alterations to parts. The following are standards which can help management: Wilhite (2014), “ISO standard 10007 supplies a group of suggestions for change management and a quality management system to keep jurisdiction over change requests.

...slow of a service rate, it is going to lose business because of the long wait times. On the opposite end of the spectrum, if a company focuses too much on improving its service rate instead of understanding its ratio compared to order rate, it will be misusing its very valuable resources. It is also important to have knowledge of all different types of queuing systems. Importance of Queuing Configuration As one can imagine, the importance of a queuing system configuration is very significant as well. As stated above, there are several different types of queuing systems and queuing configurations. If a business uses an improper queuing system or queuing configuration, it can suffer from one of many different negative consequences. Some examples of different types of queuing systems/queuing configurations are First Come First Served, First In First Out, Round Robin, Service in Random order, and many more. Queuing systems and configurations also vary by the number or servers/number of lines. This is something that can change the entire system and entire rate of the queuing configuration. Discuss how BHI is planning to implement QT and how it will all pan out using your knowledge of QT Bamboo House Incorporated has a problem that is fairly common in many different business practices.

Any region where one resides in requires a sustained infrastructure which necessitates the technical arrangements helping with the provision of services. “The infrastructure of a city, for example, includes not only components such as streets and power, telephone, water, and sewage lines, but also schools, retail stores, and law enforcement.” Similarly, indispensable personnel frequently choose organizations with superior amenities, management, and business processes. The goal of this paper is to list and discuss the managerial issues associated with managing an organization’s IS infrastructure. The topics that will be covered include the information related to configuration management and preventative maintenance, the industry standards in configuration management and control, the training approaches to allow for adaptive maintenance and confidence and the effect of globalization on managing and IS infrastructure. The infrastructure components of an information system consists of computer hardware software, communication and collaboration networks, databases, facilities, and human resources to sustain the network personnel’s decision making, business procedures, as well as their competitive strategy.

...illustrate the above mentioned difficulties and provide insight into how these areas can be maintained. Configuration Management and Maintenance “Configuration management is a collection of processes and tools that promote network consistency, track network change, and provide up to date network documentation and visibility.” (Cisco, 2006, p. 1) Configuration can either help or hinder a system. Cisco offers a white paper that specifically outlines best practices for configuration management. The paper outlines the following: “Software Version Control Management, IP Addressing Standards and Management, Naming Conventions and DNS/DHCP Assignments, Standard Configuration and Descriptors, and Configuration Upgrade Procedures.” (Cisco, 2006, p. 1) Software Version Control Management is achieved by using the same software version on devices that are similar. This eases the issues of defects and inoperability. IP Addressing management is the process of assigning and or reusing and documenting IP addresses. Naming conventions can be a big part of keeping a network running. Knowing how the naming conventions were set up will help aid with future naming. This consistency lessens the duplication of IP Addresses, easier identification and “a consistent access point to routers for all network management information related to a device.” (Cisco, 2006, p. 2) Standard configuration and descriptors can be achieved by...

Organic chemistry is a course in which one idea almost always builds on another that has gone before. 2. Study materials in small units, and be sure that you understand each new section before you go on to the next. Because of the cumulative nature of organic chemistry, your studying will be much more effective if you take each new idea as it comes and try to understand it completely before you move onto the nest concept. 3. Work all of the in-chapter and assigned problems. 4. Write when you study. over and over again. Write the reactions, mechanisms...
