...Wireless Technologies Proposal BIS/220 10/13/2014 Professor Dina Cobb Wireless Technologies Proposal In today’s technological world, Party Plates need to establish a competitive and innovative approach to utilizing technology trends to gain corporate goals. Our new mission is to create an environment where all departments can interact with customers and employees, to collaborate effectively. Accomplishing this goal will require the implementation of wireless technologies within this organization. Upon completing an intensive research, we would like to propose the implementation of Wireless Local Area Networking, also known as WLAN and Wireless Computers. The potential wireless technologies will improve communication, enhance efficiency and introduce new ideas of executing different tasks within Party Plates. Highlighted in this proposal are the pros and cons, justifications and potential risk of implementing these wireless technologies. Also included is a spreadsheet that validates the cost of the hardware and software that are required for the proposed wireless technologies. Overall, the new potential wireless technologies will leverage the company’s strategic mission to produce the best quality products based on customer’s demands. According to Snyder 2012, “In order to meet expectation of overall productivity such as production, distribution, etc, implementation of new technology should cohere with customer demands and company standards” (par.)...

...Wireless Technologies Proposal Party Plates is a party supplies retailer providing everything from plates to jumping houses for children and adult parties. Party Plates offering a wide range of inventory will need the ability to track sales of items sold. Keeping a proper inventory will ensure that Party Plates has available the items their customers desire. The Microsoft Dynamics Point of Sales (POS) Bundle with the Dolphin 9550 Hand Held Wireless Barcode Scanner will provide the technologies needed to encompass Party Plate’s needs and much more. The two systems mentioned above do have pros and cons that could affect the way Party Plates does business daily. The POS Bundle with the Dolphin 9550 Hand Held Wireless Barcode Scanner is an easy to use system once employees are trained by a “Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP)” (Microsoft Learning, n.d.). The POS system will help with keeping records, saving time and money, inventory control, and return customer programs. The cons of the POS system is that it relies on the HP 2-GB Intel Dual Core Processor that stores the software to run the system; like most software it can fail or can be corrupted. If the system fails Party Plates will need a separate backup system to maintain the daily business and to keep records of transactions that may have been lost. Another drawback to the system is security and the ability for customer information to be stolen. The initial cost of the system and the hours dedicated...

...Wireless Technologies Proposal Team B BIS /220 09-25-2012 Victor Bagwell Since 1938 Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI) has been a worldwide leader in selling outdoor recreation gear, sporting goods, and clothes in 122 retail stores in 29 states, Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI) opens four to six new stores each year. REI's sales exceeded 1.8 billion in 2011. With four to six new stores opening each year and wireless technologies becoming the standard in the business industry, the team at REI is ready to move forward and maintain its position as one of the industry leaders in outdoor enthusiast gear sales. Proposal: As technology has progressed REI has fallen behind. Large retail companies have followed the wireless technology trend to stay ahead of the curve. REI’s goal is to increase sales, improve inventory management, and customer service through an increased use of technology. Studies have shown that if needs are not met quickly, one in ten customers will abandon a line while waiting. This might cause the customer to leave the store, making them less likely to return in the future. Mobile point of sales (POS) systems can be integrated, using handheld computers, scanners, and printers with integrated credit card readers. During the holidays and high volume periods, sales personnel can be strategically placed throughout the store with these mobile devices. The whole transaction can be completed for customers paying by credit card with receipt printed or emailed...

...Wireless Technologies Proposal BIS/220 Ivon Young Wireless Technologies Proposal Mrs. Smith, the President of Party Plates likes to know about wireless technologies available for her business to use. Currently, her company doesn’t use any wireless technologies. She has asked team D to recommend at least two wireless technologies that would be beneficial to implement her organization. Proposal There are many different options out there that could work to assist in the daily operational activities; two of these technologies that would be most beneficial are handheld terminals and a company e-mail system. When a customer is looking for a product that cannot be found on the shelf in the store, an employee can use the handheld terminal to scan the label on the shelf to see if there is any in stock. If so, they will be able to see where the product is located and quickly locate. Another situation where the handheld terminal is useful is inventory. A Party Plates employee can quickly identify products that are low in stock. Because there are so many functions on the handheld terminals, managers can give the employees codes with passwords to monitor the work that each employee is or is not doing. Another technology that would be very useful to Party Plates is a company e-mail system. A manager may need to get a communication to all employees at one time. With a company e-mail system, doing so would be very easy. Communication could involve hot sales...

...Technology Trends Proposal Part III Jamison K Conopa HCS/483 November 23.2015 Marc Magill Technology Trends Proposal Part III Adding telemedicine as an option to our organization is going to be a radical change. Implementing this new form of care is a major change for the entire company. How management handles this change can help make the transition somewhat smoother. Management will need to possess several necessary aspects. Some of these necessities are leadership, vision, trust, and implementation. To be able to change, an organization must be led. A committee of people are often the leaders of a new system. Choosing the appropriate person to lead the committee is just as important as the committee itself. The leadership committee will need to be able to define the nature of the change to everyone involved in the organization. Being able to explain the rationale for adding telemedicine to the organization should be on the top of their agenda (Glaser, Lee & Wager, 2013). Vision is another aspect that needs to be addressed by management. This should include those who will be affected by the new implementation. They should know what their new roles are and how their new work flow will be affected. This vision should be clear to all involved. Change can be difficult for some people. Understanding why and the nature of the change should help staff members through this transition (Glaser, Lee & Wager, 2013). Being able to trust that management’s compassion...

...Wireless Technologies Proposal Wallace Pittman BIS/220 May 19, 2014 Jon Smout Wireless Technologies Proposal The march of technology will never cease and businesses are required to adapt to changing technology that may give them an advantage. Since more and more people are utilizing wireless technology such as smart phones, it means that more people across the world can be connected with each other. With this in mind, the two pieces of wireless technology that would benefit Party Plates would be cell phones and utilizing an Enterprise grade Wireless LAN Controller. The main benefit of using cellular devices, like smart phones, is that they can be used almost anywhere and require no land lines. They can be used at anytime and do a variety of things that could be used by upper management to keep in contact with each other or used by workers, like truck drivers for example, to keep track of orders and where they are going. A con that would come with using smart phones is that there may be service outages and would require the purchase of said smart phones. The next useful piece of wireless technology would be to use a Wireless LAN Controller. Enabling this piece of technology will greatly simplify businesses processes by having everything related to business activities connected to the business's network. It adds security to the business's network by denying unauthorized devices access. A Wireless LAN Controller will can also keep track of business critical applications...

...Wireless Technologies Proposal BIS/220 May 07, 2014 Marc Krawitz The pros and cons for incorporating these two wireless technologies in your organization Color laser printers will be able to print very quickly and also print color manuscript. However, color laser printer mixes the swiftness of black and white laser printers with the capability to print in full color. Color laser printers can also print photograph with good quality (Arnott, 2010). The disadvantages of color laser printers are, they are very pricey, four ink cartridges that is measured, such as black, yellow, blue, and red, but if one of the cartridges gets out-of-ink, it will not print (Arnott, 2010). There are several computer systems, but the main focus is Microsoft Windows. The main advantages of, Microsoft Windows is that it will make available convenient resolutions that can be put into action by anyone. Microsoft Office is also 100 percent well-matched with any dossier or detail record. However, several other software as well as systems try to put every effort to be will-suited with Microsoft Office (Managed Network Services, 2012). In-spite-of-that, the drawback of Microsoft Windows is that in the place of work, over 95 percent of all viruses and malicious software are inscribe for Windows Operating Systems. So that means that companies or organizations must take all security measures (Managed Network Services, 2012). References Arnott, L. (2010). Color...

...Demonstrative Communication Clayton Hoss Peaker BCOM/275 March 12, 2013 Daniel Greene There are many forms of demonstrative communication, which include nonverbal and unwritten communications. The big three are facial expressions, tone of voice, and body language. In this essay the author will explain how these forms of communication can be effective and ineffective, positive and negative, and for the sender and receiver. The author will get in-depth on the top three forms of nonverbal and unwritten communications. The pros and cons of these three. When done with this essay he hopes you will have a better understanding of demonstrative communications. Facial expressions is a key in demonstrative communications. You can buy or sell your audience with your facial expressions. The human face is the most complex and versatile of all species. (Cynthia, 2007). An audience will be able to know if you know anything about the subject you are talking about just by your facial expressions. It can be effective if you enjoy your subject and you show your enjoyment in your face. That will keep the audience’s attention. It could be ineffective if you have no clue about the subject you are talking about and it shows in your facial expressions that you are confused about what you are talking about. You will lose the audience quick. A positive is again if you enjoy and the audience reads it on your face you will keep them interested. A negative would be if...

...Colon Cancer Curtis Boutte COM/156 Kate Marciniak Colon Cancer can be cured through various medical procedures including early detection. I really was surprised to find out that if you do the screening process and not wait for symptoms it can save your life. Many people don’t realize that there are different colon cancers. Colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon [Large intestine] or rectum) is the third most common cancer in men and women. Cancer of the colon or rectum is called colon or colorectal cancer. It develops in the digestive tract from polyps that initially are benign, but that over time mutate into a cancerous tumor. The cancer cells invade and destroy nearby tissue, and can break away to form new tumors in other parts of the body, a process called metastasis. Colon cancer is very serious and can kill many people. I have had two grandparents die from this cancer. Colon cancer is not the leading killing cancer but is second to lung cancer. The following conditions may put you at a higher risk for colon cancer. Your family history according to (www.cancer .org) you are more likely to get colorectal cancer if one of your parents, a brother, or a sister has had the disease. If in the past you have had other types of cancer, a history of colon polyps, or inflammatory diseases of the bowl. Your lifestyle has a lot to do with your chances of getting colon cancer. If you smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol all the time, if you are lazy, obesity, and...

...The medical industry is always evolving with new and improved technological developments. With the constant changes in technology, healthcare organizations need to stay up to date in order to be competitive and provide the best care. We will discuss a few various types and uses of technology in the medical field as well as the impact they have on the medical facilities. We will also go over the technology trend I believe will improve the quality of care that is delivered to the patients in our healthcare organization. One of the biggest technological advancements in the medical industry is the electronic health record (EHR). Thought of as the “hub of the medical facility”, electronic health records are a version of a patient’s medical record that can be created, managed and consulted by authorized medical personnel (Wager, Lee, & Glaser, 2013). Electronic health records can be seen and used by more than one health care organization. Since paper medical records are no longer used, medical facilities no longer have to deal with illegible, incomplete or missing records. Electronic health records contain all of the patients past and present medical information to include: medications, allergies and lab results. The patient’s medical information is available whenever and wherever it is needed. The electronic health record systems have a multitude of functions available. One function that helps when it comes to patient safety is the computerized provider order entry. Computerized...

...Technology Trends Proposal II HCS/483 Medical Robots Healthcare, education and communications are ways that individuals can interact with computers, especially in healthcare areas. Computers and software are practically in every area of healthcare. An important role of computers is the increase of its capabilities, availabilities, and accuracies of information that is used in the support and development of our health care systems. Some remarkable changes have occurred in our health care systems due to computers. One such computer is a medical robot. To allow surgeons to have a better access to areas that are more precise and tedious, a medical robot can be used for these types of operations. Privacy risks With the use of medical robots, there are more chances of privacy risks. A health care robot will be monitoring a patient 24 hours a day, and all the information that is collected and stored can be at risk. The reason for privacy risks is that all information that is collected can or will be reported to other robots, human providers or health information technologies. Healthcare robots will have capabilities of connecting to other devices and this will mean the transference of personal data. Healthcare robots will have the need of being sure they are running and functioning properly...
