...IT Case Study 3 1. Describe the business (products, services, etc.), strategies, operations and innovations of Apple, google and Microsoft. 2. Why is mobile computing so important to these three firms? Evaluate the mobile platform offerings of each firm. 3. What is the significance of mobile apps, app stores and closed vs. open app standards to the success or failure of mobile computing? 4. Which company will prevail in this epic struggle? Justify your answer. In this triangular fight, at one point or another, each firm has allied with one of their two major foes to team up on the third. Two of the firms – google and Apple – are determined to prevent Microsoft from expanding its dominance beyond the PC desktop and onto the new mobile platform. But when it comes to mobile phones and apps, Google and Apple are enemies: both want to dominate the mobile market. Apple and Microsoft are determined to prevent Google from extending beyond its dominance in search and advertising. So Apple and Microsoft are friends. But when it comes to the mobile marketplace for devices and apps, Apple and Microsoft are enemies. Google and Microsoft are just plain enemies in a variety of battles. Google is trying to weaken Microsoft’s PC software dominance and Microsoft is trying to break into the search advertising market with Bing. http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/30/google-takes-on-microsoft-for-productivity-dominance-of-apples-mobile-platform/ http://www.pcworld.com/article/2026541/why-microsoft-must-become-apple-and-google...

...to destruction, error, and abuse. Main reason why the information systems are so vulnerable is because they are designed to be easily accessible and they do not exist in physical form per se. Digital date is stored on servers, and if anything was to happen to so called storage, the whole system goes bust. And last but not least: any system can be a subject to a hacker attack. • Describe the business value of security and control When you lose data – you lose money, simple as that. Any information you have is relevant to your business, and when this information gets into wrong hands, the same hands will be chopping pieces of your profit in no time. • Describe the components of an organizational framework for security and control First step in developing security system would be that of assessing the risk. Establishing weak points and determining the strengths of the system is of an utmost importance. Second – a security policy needs to be developed. And finally, there always has to be a contingency plan, involving all the levels of informational infrastructure. • Describe the tools and technologies used for safeguarding information resources. Firewalls and Antiviruses prevent unauthorized access to private network from happening.

...Serious with Mobile The Article’s overview Microsoft is showing that it wants to meet mobile users where they are, not where the company hopes they will be one day. Instead of using the strategy of pushing the mobile operation system in customer’s smartphones, Microsoft turned outside the company to bolster its mobile app offerings for Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android operating system. The reason for changing the strategy is that the company has figured out that Window’s mobile operating system dominates only three percent of the market share of mobile phone, while Android occupies the largest for 85% and iOS, the second, is at 11%. Initially, Microsoft attempted to compete with Apple and Google by buying the Nokia Company to put its own mobile operating system on the market as Windows Phone. Also, Microsoft did not make its software available for any competitors. However, this strategy never hurt any rivals, only Microsoft itself. With disappointing results, Microsoft has shifted its strategy and developed more applications and services and has brought them to Apple’s and Android’s devices. Early last year, Microsoft released the mobile version of Office 365 applications as well as OneDrive. They work well with other cloud storage apps such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or iCloud. Outlook is the latest application that was released in late January 2015. It is the email and calendar application for the heavy email users. Outlook is a real mobile application which...

I will assess the effectiveness and efficiency mobile-based applications provide to capture geolocation data and customer data, and quickly upload to a processing server without users having to use a desktop system. I will evaluate benefits realized by consumers because of the ability to gain access to their own data via mobile applications. Examine the challenges of developing applications that run on mobile devices because of the small screen size. Describe the methods that can be used to decide which platform to support, i. e., iPhone, iPad, Windows Phone, or Android. I will also talk about Mobile applications require high availability because end users need to have continuous access to IT and IS systems. I will discuss ways of providing high availability.

...Web or Mobile App Paper CIS 207 Tim Thacker J Adam Hendricks 05 AUG 2013 The topic of discussion for this paper is going to be on the mobile app “Gas Buddy” for Android. Gas Buddy is one of the most practical apps that I use. I use it on average only about once a week, but it can potentially save me hundreds of dollars a year in gasoline charges if I use it effectively. The way Gas buddy works is that it allows it’s users to locate the nearest gas stations to them or the gas stations in a location they will be in later in the day. This is enabled by utilizing the smart phone’s location services or GPS. In addition to that, Gas buddy will also list the prices of gas at each station for each fuel grade. Since Gas stations vary their prices based on their competition, this app really empowers the consumer by allowing them to see the prices of all the stations in the area. In the old days, we could only compare the prices of gas stations by physically seeing them AT the different stations with our own two eyes and word of mouth. Gas buddy has become our new source for word of mouth communications for gas prices. Gas Buddy is designed so that it’s users post the prices themselves, with the users becoming the dynamic source data that is required for and displayed by Gas buddy. This means that Gas buddy is constantly changing and always up-to-date. On the flip side, Gas buddy is similar to Wikipedia in that it uses open-source data and that data is not 100% reliable....
