...SNHUConsulting Hardware Recommendations for Widget Wonders IT-201 Module 3 Case Study Jodi Kilgore Southern New Hampshire University August 1, 2015 Widget Wonders is a worldwide leader in widgets and are currently building a state-of-the-art facility to manufacture and distribute the next generation of widgets. This new facility will be the main manufacturing and distribution center in the United States and will contain the following five departments: sales, manufacturing, inventory control, research and development, and Management Information Systems (MIS). SNHUConsulting, a leader in information technology, has been retained to implement information technology on the expansion and to connect the network in the new facility to the main network that is located at their headquarters. I have been asked to make recommendations on the computer hardware components for the expansion. Widget Wonders has provided SNHUConsulting with the pertinent information about each of the departments in order to implement the best hardware. The following is the information provided by Widget Wonders and the recommendations of SNHUConsulting. The sales department consists of 50 employees which require mobility to access company resources while visiting customers and presenting at sales meetings and conferences. My recommendation for this department is notebooks, smartphones, and tablets as they would work best for mobility when visiting with customers as they are small and lightweight...

...become addicted to all the fun, and interesting features of the product. The problem we are addressing is the amount of time people spend looking at their portable electronic devices and the effect it has on their vision. People enjoy using their smartphones, but they are ruining their eyes by using this product (Smartphone users, n.d.) There are many ways to reduce the risks of using smartphones in this type of matter. The first solution is wearing glasses while using a smartphone. The second solution could be to address companies that produce smartphones to install eye protector glasses in smartphones. The final solution is to install filters within smartphone cases that already have protective eye glass or in progress of making a product similar to this. All these solutions bring out positive effects for smartphone users and companies that produce and sell them. We selected to create a screen protector with a filter because of the ease of implementations, the minimal costs involved with manufacturing the product, and the broad audience that would be able to afford the product. Addressing smartphone companies to install an eye protection in their smartphones will cost them money; also it will increase the cost of smartphones in the market. This concept will make a rise in smartphone costs, but it’s up to the consumer if they choose to care about their health and buy...

...Closing Case One - Apple—Merging Technology, Business, and Entertainment This might sound hard to believe, but a bit more than a decade ago, Apple was on the brink of bankruptcy. Apple Computer Inc., now back from near oblivion, is blazing a trail through the digital world with innovation and creativity that has been missing from the company for the past 20 years. The unique feature of Apple’s competitive advantages is that they come from customers and users, not Apple employees. That’s right; the company welcomes products created by consumers to sell to consumers, a trend new to business. Capitalizing on the iPod With millions of iPods in the hands of consumers, many people are finding ways to capitalize on the product. John Lin created a prototype of a remote control for the iPod and took his prototype to Macworld, where he found success. A few months later, Lin’s company had Apple’s blessing and a commitment for shelf space in its retail stores. “This is how Apple supports the iPod economy,” Lin said. In the iPod-dominated market, hundreds of companies have been inspired to develop more than 500 accessories—everything from rechargers for the car to $1,500 Fendi bags. Eric Tong, vice presi- dent at Belkin, a cable and peripheral manufacturer, believes that 75 percent of all iPod owners pur- chase at least one accessory—selling over 30 million accessories to date. With most of the products priced between $10 and $200, that puts the iPod...

...Apple Case August 27, 2011 University of Maryland University College Janee Freemen Prof Carol Beam Business Intelligence: (BI) is information collected from multiple sources such as suppliers, customers, competitors, partners, and industries that analyzes patterns, trends,and relationships for strategic decision making. (Baltzan, p. 8) Customer Relationship Management (CRM) CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management. It is a strategy used to learn more about customers' needs and behaviors in order to develop stronger relationships with them. Good customer relationships are at the heart of business success. There are many technological components to CRM, but thinking about CRM in primarily technological terms is a mistake. The more useful way to think about CRM is as a strategic process that will help you better understand your customers’ needs and how you can meet those needs and enhance your bottom line at the same time. This strategy depends on bringing together lots of pieces of information about customers and market trends so you can sell and market your products and services more effectively. (Wailgum, T., What is CRM?, CIO Drilldown, retrieved from http://www.cio.com/article/40295/CRM_Definition_and_Solutions).

Data mining uses artificial intelligence techniques, neural networks, and advanced statistical tools (such as cluster analysis) to reveal trends, patterns, and relationships...

Features The iFridge consists exterior cabinet and three doors, inner cabinet, insulation inserted between them, cooling system, refrigerant and fixtures. The cabinet and doors are made of aluminum and steel. At front door, iFridge has ice maker and an iPad but these do not narrow the interior part of the fridge. Height and width of the fridge is pretty much standard but unlike the other fridges, iFridge has 25% more shelf place. Shelves are made of unbreakable glass and are also removable to make the cleaning process easier. The touch screen uses traditional yet specially developed IOS software for iFridge. The screen is almost the same size as an iPad (which is 9.5 inches high and 7.31 inches wide). There are three different color options for the frame of the touch screen; red, black and silver.

...OPONDI Jackson Owinga DIT-035-0237/2015 15/06/2017 JKUAT PCSM Assignment Question 1 a) Define the term form factor A form factor refers to a computer systems’ or component of electronic hardware’s general setup as well as functionality that is normally outlined by a fundamental aspect, which might involve a touch screen, a QWERTY keyboard or the manner that the system opens or closes. According to Kay (1), the name is normally applied to distinguish the dimension, design or physical features and requirements of system hardware, and some emphasis on its internal constituents. The form factor equally acts as an element or an aspect that might be utilized to guarantee that hardware compatibility standard is met between appliances of the same form factor regardless of their varying designers. Hence form factor typically involves describing overall system set-up, including size, shape, case and power supply, alongside its physical layout. b) Describe 3 motherboard form factors (4mks) 1. AT and Baby AT (Advanced Technology) Advanced Technology (AT) and Baby AT served as the most popular motherboard form factors throughout the initial stages of computer development. The two designs vary mainly in width, with the original version measuring up to twelve inches wide. Apart from making it incompatible with smaller systems, the size made it to overlap against the drive bays, and thus rendering tasks such as troubleshooting, installation and upgrading more challenging (Wilson...

The scientific inquiry is a way to investigate things and purpose explanation for their observations. Data is gathered, hypothesis suggested, and observations recorded. Several different troubleshooting methods already exist but according to CompTIA; there are six steps to solve a problem. Drawing a parallel these steps are all included into the scientific method, but how? Scientific method CompTIA troubleshooting Method, Ask a Question - Identify the problem, Do Background research - Establish a theory of probable cause, Construct Hypothesis Test - the theory to determine the cause, Test your hypothesis by Doing experiment - Establish a plan of action to resolve the problem and implement a solution, Analyze your Data and draw a Conclusion - Verify full system functionality and if applicable implement preventive solution, Communicate your result Document -findings, actions, and outcomes.
