Only about two years ago the Apollo Company decided to look at how many systems were being used and why the company was using many systems at one time. Customer service had a system; sales had a system, customer support had a system, and finance had a system. These systems did not include systems for human resources and more. In all, the company realized that there were too many systems and wanted to see if there was a way to have fewer systems. After meeting with several vendors, the Apollo Company made the decision to look into a way to have customer service, sales, customer support, and finance on one system. The process to find the right system took a little over six months but the Apollo Company finally decided to make a change. The old system would be replaced by Customer Relationship Management (CRM) that would run through Salesforce. The company hired Salesforce to come in and see the old system. Salesforce immediately explained that there was a way to have all the systems into one and that by using Salesforce this would be possible with a new monitoring system. CRM is data driven, constantly changing and will even connect customer feedback or comments through social media with the new system (Rainder, Prince, & Cegielski, 2014).

...System Evaluation Paper CIS/207 January 05,2014 The system I will be discussing is used in an organization that I used to work in many years ago, but working in the medical environment, all systems seem to tie into new technology and growth for businesses to streamline, be cost effective, save time and to be able to manage the environment by a click of a mouse. The system used while I was working as an EMT, (Emergency Medical Technician) initially started with just radio communication between the ambulance and the ER. All documentation was written on a triplicate carbon progress note. The paperwork would be legal documentation that would transfer to the ER to continue with treating the patient. As new technology, insurance requirements, and federal and state guidelines changed regarding legibility of these documents so came the introduction of the wireless mobile units, which later developed into the use of a laptop and also integration of software that allowed the ability to transfer medical documentation in real time to any ER (Emergency Room) facility. The system also provides for the use of GPS (Global positioning system) tracking, which would give accurate locations of accident or emergencies. The new technology allows the portable system to be taken right to the patient, whether the patient is on the first floor, tenth floor or stuck in the attic. In years past, the assessment for the patient and medical history would have to wait until the patient...

...discretionary access control (DAC) is a type of access control defined by the Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria[1] "as a means of restricting access to objects based on the identity of subjects and/or groups to which they belong. The controls are discretionary in the sense that a subject with a certain access permission is capable of passing that permission (perhaps indirectly) on to any other subject (unless restrained by mandatory access control)". Discretionary access control is commonly discussed in contrast to mandatory access control (MAC, sometimes termed non-discretionary access control). Occasionally a system as a whole is said to have "discretionary" or "purely discretionary" access control as a way of saying that the system lacks mandatory access control. On the other hand, systems can be said to implement both MAC and DAC simultaneously, where DAC refers to one category of access controls that subjects can transfer among each other, and MAC refers to a second category of access controls that imposes constraints upon the first. In computer security Mandatory Access Control (MAC) is a type of access control in which only the administrator manages the access controls. The administrator defines the usage and access policy, which cannot be modified or changed by users, and the policy will indicate who has access to which programs and files. MAC is most often used in systems where priority is placed on confidentiality. In computer...

Breitner2 1Accenture GmbH Campus Kronberg 1, 61476 Kronberg ina.friedrich@accenture.com 2Institut 1 für Wirtschaftsinformatik, Leibniz-Universität Hannover Königsworther Platz 1, 30167 Hannover {sprenger|breitner @iwi.uni-hannover.de} Introduction Customer Relationship Management (CRM)1 has been discussed in the literature since the nineties. IT evaluation on the other hand dates back to the eighties starting with a more contemporary approach (Farbey et al. 1999, p. 191). As reported by earlier works, the success rate of CRM implementation projects is up to today still not satisfactory (Becker et al. 2009; Finnegan and Currie 2009). Reasons for failing the expectations of involved parties are diverse, but can be summarized under the three dimensions: people, process and technology (Figure 1). Due to the described quality problems and the speed of evaluation results becoming outdated, new CRM solutions or updated versions of established products continuously enter the market. CRM solutions range from simple address and activity management applications to integrated software packages linking front office and back office functions (Chen and Popovich 2003, p. 673). Hence, there exists a multitude of different characterizations for CRM. For the context of this paper a definition by Goldenberg (2000) is used, who describes...

...Grading system versus written evaluations The grading system has been embedded in our education system for many generations now. Students have been assessed based on their knowledge and skill of various subjects based on their performance on a piece of paper. From that, they are awarded grades with A’s being the best signifying superior knowledge and F’s being the worst. Recently however, many have started to wonder how written evaluations instead may be more beneficial and thorough in assessing a student’s performance. Although I agree with written evaluations being a more suitable means of evaluating any student, let us first explore how written evaluations and the grading system vary in terms of providing quality assessment of students, time cost and finally how it may help in the working environment. Both the grading system and written evaluations vary in providing quality assessments of the students. The grading system mainly merely tests on the students understanding and grasp of concepts. However, as information is easily accessed from books and the internet, students may only be memorizing facts and vomiting them out on paper instead of properly understanding what they mean. Moreover, the grading system does not provide valuable input on which areas the students may be weak at and what he or she could improve on. Written evaluations on the other hand however would be provided by teachers that are familiar with the students. They would be able to give insight to the...
