...To evaluate the financial health and expected growth of Automatic Data Processing Inc., there are a few ratio analyses that can be looked at. The return on assets ratio analysis is a good indicator to see how profitable ADP Inc. is doing relative to its assets. Below is a line graph referring to the past five years of ADP’s ROA. In 2010, one can see that it started off well, but then started to decline until 2011. This occurred because there was a decline in employment as well as an increase in failed businesses (IBISWorld). After 2011 it’s percentage started to increase, as ADP better managed its assets to gain more earnings. The next ratio analysis to evaluate financial health is long-term debt to equity. Finding the long-term debt to equity ratio is important as it indicates the leverage of the firm. If the ratio is high than it is more risky which implies that there are more liabilities and less equity. As shown below, in a five-year span, the long-term debt to equity line graph looks the opposite of the one above. From 2010 to 2011 there is an increase in the ratio, which as mentioned before, there was an increase in failed businesses, causing the long-term debt to equity ratio to rise and become more risky. Fortunately, the risk decreased as ADP increased their clientele and client retention. The last ratio analysis is equally as important as the last two, as it is shows how much revenue ADP Inc. has made. The total asset turnover line graph also shows a trend of the past...

...Unit Three Assignment – Report of Amazon.Com SCM system to RF Executives Robert M. Bolden, Sr. IT500: Critical Concepts and Competencies for the IT Professional Dr. Dawn Giannoni Kaplan University In this report, we will discuss the idea of a possible implementation of a supply chain management (SCM) system for the Rainforest Company. In this report, we’ll identify what SCM is, the difference it makes between real-time processing versus analytical processing. Then we will identify the benefits it will bring to the Rainforest Company and how to get an edge in the competitive global market. In order to understand SCM, we must first describe what it actually is. Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a system that includes planning, executing and controlling all activities involved in raw material sourcing and procurement, converting raw materials to finished products, and warehousing and delivering finished products to customers. (Stair and Reynolds, 2012, p. 389). In other words, it is a system that bridges the gap between the manufacturer and the consumer by supplying goods and services without the intervention of a retailer such as a department or grocery store. In an attempt to put this in perspective, we looked into the activity of Amazon.Com and how their process works from the supplier to finally reaching the consumer. When looking into the supply chain structure and strategies of Amazon.com’s website, we discovered that their methodology is much similar to most companies...

...Paper 258-2013 Data Set Compression using COMPRESS= ABSTRACT DUE TO AN INCREASED AWARENESS ABOUT DATA MINING, TEXT MINING AND BIG DATA APPLICATIONS ACROSS ALL DOMAINS THE VALUE OF DATA HAS BEEN REALIZED AND IS RESULTING IN DATA SETS WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF VARIABLES AND INCREASED OBSERVATION SIZE. OFTEN IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO PROCESS THESE DATASETS WHICH CAN HAVE AN IMPACT ON DELIVERY TIMELINES. WHEN THERE IS LIMITED PERMANENT STORAGE SPACE, STORING SUCH LARGE DATASETS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS. BEST WAY TO HANDLE SOME OF THESE CONSTRAINTS IS BY MAKING A LARGE DATASET SMALLER, BY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF OBSERVATIONS AND/OR VARIABLES OR BY REDUCING THE SIZE OF THE VARIABLES, WITHOUT LOSING VALUABLE INFORMATION. IN THIS PAPER WE WILL SEE HOW A SAS DATA SET CAN BE COMPRESSED USING THE COMPRESS= SYSTEM OPTION AND ALSO SOME TECHNIQUES TO MAKE THIS OPTION MORE EFFECTIVE. Introduction THE PROCESS OF REDUCING THE NUMBER OF BYTES REQUIRED TO REPRESENT EACH OBSERVATION IS KNOWN AS COMPRESSION. SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES OF COMPRESSING A DATASET INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, A COMPRESSED FILE REDUCES THE STORAGE REQUIREMENTS AND ALSO REDUCES THE NUMBER OF I/O OPERATIONS NECESSARY TO READ OR WRITE THE DATA DURING PROCESSING. IN A COMPRESSED FILE, THE DELETED OBSERVATION SPACE CAN BE REUSED USING REUSE= OPTION, WHEREAS IN AN UNCOMPRESSED DATA SET THE DELETED OBSERVATION SPACE IS NEVER REUSED. To create a compressed data set we use the COMPRESS= output data set option or system...
