...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....

...Web or Mobile System Paper Web or Mobile System Paper A mobile application is a one touch software program used to run on Smartphones and other mobile devices. Mobile apps usually help users by connecting them to the specific services more commonly accessed on laptop or desktop computers, or help them by making it easier to use the Internet on many devices such as a Smartphone, MP3 player or tablet computers. A mobile app may be a mobile Web site bookmarking utility, a mobile-based instant messaging client, or many other applications. I recently upgraded my Smartphone from a Blackberry device, to a phone with the Android operating System, a Motorola Droid Maxx. I was stunned to find so many applications that I could download and use for free. Since I upgraded my Smartphone to the Motorola Droid Maxx at the height of gas prices barreling out of control, I wanted to find an application that could assist my family and me, in finding the cheapest gas station around my current home since I primarily fuel at gas stations near there. In the past, I used to drive to different gas stations in the neighborhood to check the prices of each station until I found the one with the cheapest prices. At times I ended up driving back to the previous station to get the lowest prices. The gas stations are only a few short blocks or up to ½ a mile away from one another so it was not a big burden to drive back and forth. The first thing I did was research apps and find an app that...

...Mobile CRM or, to be more precise, mobile access to CRM has become a hot topic fuelled by the growth of smart phones and tablets in the societies and the much hailed launch of 4G. As shown in figure 11.12(a), the mobile app users have exceeded the web consumption in 2011. Indeed, now that mobile penetration rates are hitting 101% in North America and an amazing 129% in Western Europe (according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Internet World Stats), most people have access to high-speed broadband through a device in their pocket, and consumers are much more familiar with the online shopping process, increasingly turning to mobile to buy everything from groceries to holiday gifts. So, if businesses want to capitalize on this new behavior, they must build an approachable and compelling mobile presence through apps and mobile-optimized sites. Figure 11.12b shows the types of apps used. Games, music, and entertainment are all popular. Practical services like maps and weather are also favored by many smartphone users. Social networking apps are near the top of the list. Apps allow companies to interface with their customers over many touch points, thus, apps became an important part of CRM programs for many companies. Brands that want to be successful need to approach clients on a one-to-one basis, and apps can help them achieve this goal. In a world in which every good or service seems to be customizable, brands that do not seek to anticipate their clients’ needs will lag behind rivals...

...Gantt charts and PERT charts are both excellent ways to organize and analyze components of a project through a visualization. Both have proven themselves to be successful and essential tools to present information. Although they both have the same purpose, there are many differences separating the two charts. The Gantt chart tends to present information in the form of a bar chart while the PERT presents information as a network model. Presenting information in a bar chart would be a big help to show percentage of work done. However using a PERT chart would be more useful of sequencing tasks. Another contrast between the two charts is the work breakdown structure. The PM of any project has a great deal of responsibility of planning and following through with the schedule for the project. Both charts would be useful to show the tasks that need completing. The key difference is the display on the Gantt demonstrates the percentage of work done and the PERT demonstrates the work flow. The accuracy of each chart is a consideration to take in when deciding how to present information for this analysis. While Gantt charts are simple to read and user friendly, PERT charts add an extensive amount of data that could provide use in the longer scheme of planning. Gantt presents only two pieces of data, which are, project tasks and time allowed for each task to be completed. PERT charts rely on dependency of each task being completed to start the next. This could also prove as an issue...

Google’s mission statement says a lot about what it offers- “Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” This is not surprising, as on a regular basis we can find information on how other Google web applications- Google Forms, Google Drive, Google Docs, and Google Calendar have been groundbreaking for millions. For the sake of this assignment, Google Drive is the main subject of this paper. We can go into any office building throughout the world and find numerous technology devices and tools used to save and share information between other people and computers. These devices and tools can include USB flash drives, portable harddrives, memory sticks, data CDs, etc. However, all of these are disposable. Meaning they can be ruined, destroyed, erased, and stolen. How is that a benefit to our work environment? So say we saved an incredibly important research project on a USB drive, a couple of USB drives actually, just in case. What are our options if those USB drives were to disappear or get ruined somehow? How could, as they say, “the show go on”? Seriously, what are the options for us to present those barrier breaking research results to the major...
