We are in charge of setting up a consumer electronics trade shown which mainly consists of products like dry batteries, cell phones, laptops, computer accessories, phone accessories and monitor LCDs. We need to make sure that these products are safely returned when the trade show is over. There can be a number of ways in which we to categorize these products into their respective fields so we can keep track of them when shipping them to the main office, because we are liable to the security of these materials. By classifying smaller goods, like dry batteries, we can categorize them into one shipment package that can be transported safely back. Other products like cell phones and their accessories, we can pack them together so we have a safety for the products to remain in one carton. Likewise, keeping computer accessories with laptops and keeping LCDs separate, we can ensure that the products do not get damaged during transportation.

There are many things that need to be kept track of including data related to the equipment received for trade shows. Situations such as these required detailed lists of all things involved. For example, the equipment related to the trade show booth would be kept in its own category where they would be listed individually in relation to their utilization purposes for the trade show. Other data would need to be recorded such as detailed information in relation to the condition of the items during the shipping process. The marketing assistant must ensure the booth and its display contents, are brought to their desired location in a timely fashion and taken back securely in order to assure their future use to the company. By having information such as postal tracking numbers, tabs can be kept on the dispatch and retrieval dates, hence being aware of the items locale at all times.

...Determining Databases and Data Communications Lucinda Degarmo BIS/320 November 02, 2015 Karl Jaufmann | Scenario 1 As the marketing assistant, I would definitely have to use a program that would track ordering, delivery and losses of any equipment used. The typical fields that would be needed for such database would be the following: Event Name, Event Date, Name of equipment/display, Serial Number, Date ordered, Date shipped, Date delivered, Date packed, Date shipped, Date received, Loss remarks. The first tracking relationships would be of course the Event Name, Event date and Name of equipment, Date ordered. By tracking these fields, I would be able to figure out what types of equipment or displays to order for the event and ensure timely delivery for the event. The second tracking relationships would be the return of the equipment which would include packing date, shipping date and date received and any losses incurred. By tracking the return of the equipment, I would be sure that the equipment has been accounted for and safely returned back to the warehouse. By using a tracking program for each event, the accountability for the equipment is monitored from the day it leaves the warehouse and is returned safely back to the warehouse.

...Determining Databases and Data Communications Jeremy Timm BIS 320 August 19, 2013 Sharyn Deeringer Determining Databases and Data Communications In the two scenarios there are many ways that they can be solved or worked out to make them fit to the person working with them. They both deal with databases and communications that companies need to consider. In this paper we are going to discuss some of the options that companies or self employed business owners can use. Scenario One Some of the typical fields that could be used would be of the booth equipment by piece, what equipment you will need by piece, what company is shipping the components and the expected arrival date and time. By having all of this information you will be able to use it as a checklist to ensure that you have all the required pieces and components for the trade shows. Being able to track what company the equipment is being shipped through will decrease the probably of the equipment being misplaced at the location of drop off. Along with tracking what company is shipping the equipment you would want to track how much everything costs to be able to charge that company for any losses that might occur. A database system could work the best for some people in this situation but others might be more comfortable with a spreadsheet. We all know that a database is a “self-describing collection of integrated records” (Kroenke, 2012, p. 101). One way a database would be good is that you can print different...

...Determining Databases and Data Communications Determining Databases and Data Communications Having a clear understanding of the technologies to implement is an incredible tool for managing companies with computer technology as their primary means of sustainability. This knowledge helps their personnel responsible for information management to make informed decisions about which technology to actually implement. These strategic decisions permit the manager to effectively utilize time and resources in seemingly intimidating tasks. This is shown in both scenarios. In the first scenario a marketing assistant working at a consumer electronics company is tasked with maintaining booths for trade shows from start to finish. In addition that individual is also tasked to resolve any issues related to product shipment that may arise. Knowing what information is to be retained is important in ensuring best tools are used in trade fairs. Situations like these calls for detailed list of displays, equipment, and booths that are necessary and how they are being shipped and retrieved. Let’s say a trade show is to be organized in San Antonio, Texas with a requirement of one booth and display. The marketing assistant must make sure the booth with display is brought to the location in time and taken back for future use to the company. With knowing the delivering postal tracking number, a tab can be kept on the dispatch and retrieval date. Every trade show typically needs certain...

...Mobile database A mobile database is either a stationary database that can be connected to by a mobile computing device ( eg smartphone and PDA) over a mobile network OR A database, which is actually stored by the mobile device this could be list of contacts, price information distance travelled or any other information Many applications require the ability to download information from an information repository and operate on this information even when out of range or disconnected. An EXAMPLE of this is your contacts and calendar on the phone. In this scenario a user would require access to update information from files in the home directories on a server or customer records from a database. This type of access and work load generated by such users is different from the traditional workloads seen in client-server system of today CONSIDERATION • Mobile users must be able to work without a network connection due to poor or non existent connections. A cache could be maintained to hold recently accessed data and transactions so that they are not lost due to connection failure. Users might not require access to truly live data, only recently modified data, and uploading of changing might be deferred until reconnected • Bandwidth must be conserved (a common requirement on wireless networks that charge per megabyte or data transferred) • Mobile computing devices tend to have slower CPU and limited battery life • Users with multiple device (eg. Smartphone and tablet) need...

...Distributed database is one in which multiple database sites are linked by a communications system in such a way that the data at any site is available to users at other sites. Depending on the needs of an organization the following reasons would be why they would have the needs of distributed databases: * Improved reliability. A distributed system is more reliable than a centralized one, because processing is done at several sites, so failure of a single node does not halt the entire system. Distributed systems can be designed to continue to function despite failure of a node or of a communications link. * Better Data availability. Distributed database systems often provide for replication of data. If a node fails, or the only link to a node is down, its data is still available, provided a copy is kept somewhere else in the system. * Lower communication cost. If data used locally is stored locally, communications cost will be lower, since the network will not be used for most request. In centralized system, the communications network is needed for all remote requests. However, we must consider the additional cost for the database software, additional storage costs for multiple copies of data items and software, higher hardware costs, and higher operating costs the distribution can entail. Distributed database has different types of distributed systems. These systems ate homogeneous and heterogeneous. With homogeneous all modes use the same hardware and software...

...Technology and Communication Paper University of Phoenix CJA/304 Mrs. Palmer August 10, 2011 Technology and Communication Paper Technology has helped enhance communication between others and has especially helped with communication in the criminal justice system. Technology has affected the communication capabilities of specialized databases in the criminal justice system in many different ways. Many forms of technology are used to help with communication such as mobile data terminals and iris scans in the criminal justice system. In this paper, this student will compare different types of specialized databases and will also discuss over positive and negative effects due to new technologies. Mobile data terminals are used in the criminal justice system as a form of specialized database to help with communication. “A mobile data terminal (MDT) is a computerized device used in public transit vehicles and emergency vehicles to communicate with a central dispatch office” (Versaterm, 2011). There are many large police agencies that require all law enforcement officers to have a wireless mobile terminal system installed in their vehicles. This database can help law enforcement officers with workload management in the communication center and they can also help better time management of officers and help greater efficiency. Mobile data terminals can also help with communication between officers and dispatch by letting the officers have access to dispatch receipts...

...business environment has an increasing need for distributed database and client/server applications as the desire for reliable, scalable and accessible information is steadily rising. Distributed database systems provide an improvement on communication and data processing due to its data distribution throughout different network sites. Not only is data access faster, but a single-point of failure is less likely to occur, and it provides local control of data for users. However, there is some complexity when attempting to manage and control distributed database systems. The DDBMS synchronizes all the data periodically, and in cases where multiple users must access the same data, ensures that updates and deletes performed on the data at one location will be automatically reflected in the data stored elsewhere. A distributed database can also be defined as a collection of multiple, logically interrelated databases distributed over a computer network. A distributed database management system is then defined as the software system that permits the management of the distributed databases and makes this distribution transparent to the users. Distributed database system is to referred as a combination of the distributed databases and the distributed DBMS Current trends in multi-tier client/server networks make DDBS an appropriated solution to provide access to and control over localized databases. Oracle, as a leading Database Management System (DBMS) vendor employs the two-phase commit...
