...it relates to network design considerations. It describes the rise of big data and the transition of traditional enterprise data models with the addition of crucial building blocks to handle the dramatic growth of data in the enterprise. According to IDC estimates, the size of the "digital universe" in 2011 will be 1.8 zettabytes (1.8 trillion gigabytes). With information growth exceeding Moore's Law, the average enterprise will need to manage 50 times more information by the year 2020 while increasing IT staff by only 1.5 percent. With this challenge in mind, the integration of big data models into existing enterprise infrastructures is a critical element when considering the addition of new big data building blocks while considering the efficiency, economics and privacy. This document also shows that the Cisco Nexus ® architectures are optimized to handle big data while providing integration into current enterprise infrastructures. In reviewing multiple data models, this document examines the effects of Apache Hadoop as a building block for big data and its effects on the network. Hadoop is an open source software platform for building reliable, scalable clusters in a scaled-out, "shared-nothing" design model for storing, processing, and analyzing enormous volumes of data at very high performance. The information presented in this document is based on the actual network traffic patterns of the Hadoop framework and can help in the design of a scalable network with the right...

...Coursework for INMR88 Enterprise Systems Step 8: Feasibility Report of Adopting an ERP2 System The family owned Bandon Group started as a distributor of office equipment. Growing by acquiring additional dealerships, it has already had four divisions in the western U.S. Portland, Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Denver with headquarters in Phoenix. The general objective of Bandon Divisions is to provide office information systems and offer value-added services and technology integration according to the specific needs of their customers in particular markets. Bandon Group targets at mid-market companies by offering mid-tier equipment at reasonable prices and they have earned a good reputation through their quality-manufactured products with at cost-effective prices. With the continuous development of Bandon Group, a commercial off-the shelf package is in need to support administrative information systems of Bandon Group, so Office Machines Dealership (OMD), which supports the meter-based billing application, is adopted. By 2010, the four divisions were connected to the central OMD system, but data migration was hard to achieve due to its lack of flexibility. Under the decentralized sales strategy, divisions begin to adopt different sales tools to boost their sales volume in their respective market. Although Pivotal, a sale prospecting system was introduced to all of the divisions, it was used to a varying degree and worked for various purposes. For example, at Bandon Phoenix...

...different types of tasks. The company is currently attempting to discover a way where Information Technology can serve as a better support the overall missions, goals and objectives of the organization. Data is not currently integrated across the various divisions, which causes a replication of effort; sub optimized effort and additional expense to the organization. (Sumner, 2005) Bandon Group, Inc. has a fairly small Information Technology department and with the range of various technical solutions that have been applied across each of the divisions, it has become very difficult to provide network & technical support, technical training and data migrations. In order to stay competitive in the industry in which the Bandon group is in, management has discovered that they need to make a few adjustments to their business strategy, and implement technical solutions. Several of their competitors have implemented Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) with integrated Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions, leaving them far behind in the potential of acquiring more profit and maximizing the efficiency of their business. Furthermore, taking a close look at the technology aspect of this, the Bandon group is falling behind in keeping up in their industry, because their competitors have started to incorporate eBusiness solutions, allowing them to do web based supply ordering, service call entry and meter click reporting. The current situation of the technological...

...Strategic planning of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies)-based services, abbreviated as eServices, is a crucial task for the public as well as private sectors. Given a strategic project (or an initiative), a strategic planning process identifies the main alternatives, the key business/technical issues involved in each alternative, and helps in evaluation and selection of the most viable alternatives before initiating the project. To succeed, the strategic planning process must explore a large number of people, process and technology issues and eliminate surprises. This is not easy because the task of eservices planning in the digital age is considerably complicated due to the changing business and technical landscape and an ever-growing body of knowledge. This short tutorial gives a quick overview of the vast body of knowledge that entails a typical strategic ICT planning process and presents a conceptual framework for further exploration of this important area. 1. An Example – eServices for a City Ms Fran Kuye is mayor of a city with one million inhabitants, located in a developing country.She wants to use the knowledge gained from her MPA (Master of Public Administration) to transform her city to a “Digital City” that heavily relies on eservices to support its citizens. Her overall goal is to develop a 2 year plan that includes the following: First year, start with informational services on the web that deliver the information to the citizens...

...Why did Bharti outsource its network operations? Bharti was facing a challenge – the customer base was growing explosively (100% per year) but it was not able to keep up with the pace of the market growth. Bharti had challenges with management time, capital costs, and human resources. 1. Faster time to market: There was huge delay between the time when Bharti needed additional capacity and when that additional capacity could be up/running. Bharti was spending from six months to a year in the process of planning, tendering, purchasing, and installing. This took a lot of time from Bharti’s management team too and did not allow them to focus other important priorities in the company. 2. Scalability: Bharti was facing scalability issues both in its IT function and network function. 3. Human resources scarcity: Given the rapid growth in the industry, Bharti was finding it more and more difficult to hire and retain people. It was facing intense competition from other telecom providers as well are other multi-national companies to hire engineers. 4. Lean and predictable cost model: With the rapid changes in technology and also in the requirements for network capacity, Bharti was having a very unpredictable cost model. Instead of huge capital assets on the balance sheet and capital expenditures, Bharti wanted operating expenses which went hand-in-hand with the pace of its growth. 5. Capital Expenditures: With industry consolidation, the focus was switching from having...

...2010, Hong Kong Supply Chain Integration: Definition and Challenges Hussain A.H Awad, Mohammad Othman Nassar Abstract—Ever Since the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) Defined Supply Chain Management and the Council of Logistics Management (CLM) adopted the definition of logistics in 1984, the integration of a supply chain processes or activities became obligatory definition. Many firms have extended their chain from upstream and downstream to include other vendors, agents of vendor, and customers. These firms have successfully implemented the concept of supply chain integration with spectacular results after they recognize and manage the integration challenges of supply chain. This research is a humble scientific attempt to shed more on the challenges and the obstacles that those companies faced during their success journey stand behind finding integration in their supply chain. By reviewing the available literature about the supply chain integration challenges we didn’t find a single source able to present all these challenges that may face the organization during its implementation of supply chain integration. The main contributions for this paper are integrating all the of supply chain integration challenges in one source. These contributions will be very helpful for the organizations that establish the integration in their supply chain Index Terms— Supply chain integration, Challenges of supply chain integration. I.

...Canadian Economic History Final How Institutional Settings matter Tri-networks integration and IPTV Student ID No. 1310511012 Student Name Zhang Qiyue (Emily) School Suzhou University Major Field International Finance Advisor Sam Yu Date Janurary 2016 How Institutional Settings matter Tri-networks integration and IPTV Abstracts: This paper will first make a brief introduction on IPTV industry and its present status of development in China. The promotion of IPTV is affected not only by the technology and market demand, but also by the regulatory policy. Policy barriers caused by yield game between telecom operators and State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) about profit allocation hindered the development of IPTV. We use the Stackelberg model to analyze the yield game between telecom operators and SARFT. With deep integration between the industry, the traditional regulatory framework should also advance with the times, be replaced by a more flexible integration framework, so as to promote the development of IPTV and other integration of services. However, the pace of development is far below expectations in China. Many experts pointed out that there were few technical problems existing in IPTV, which leaves the main crux to its institutional settings. We will also discuss how institutional settings matter the industry, find out proper...

...Alternatives and Options 10-11 Recommendations 12 Implementation 13-14 Monitor and Control 15 Conclusion 16 Ford Motor Company Executive Summary As director of Supply Chain Systems, Teri Takai recommends implementing virtual integration strategies from companies like Dell to portions of Ford’s supply chain strategy. Although there are several key differences between the companies, the restructuring plans of Ford 2000 have set a viable foundation to implement Dell’s virtual integration strategy in inventory management, customer service and support and suppliers’ management. The redesign of the process must include design not only of the supply chain but also of fulfillment, forecasting, purchasing, and a variety of other functions that historically been considered independently within the Ford hierarchy. Teri believes that implementing virtual integration by building on Ford’s key initiatives and projects including Ford Production Systems (FPS), Order to Delivery (OTD) and Ford Retail Network (FRN) that are currently underway will make their supply chain run more smoothly with less bottlenecking, reduced inventory, and better overall performance. Managers could overcome the complex and inaccurate manual process of forecasting and procuring parts which would result in reduced OTD lessen costs and enhance customer satisfaction. Further improved Supply...
