...have one domain controller (not recommended), there is nothing to do since all roles must be on this server, but if you have multiple servers you should move some of theese roles on to more servers. It is also important to be aware of what servers are Global Catalog servers, especially if you have more than one domain and even if only one domain, they will be prefered by applications like Exchange server. It is recommended to place the forest roles on one Domain Controller (DC) and the domain roles on another server. If not all Domain Controllers are Global Catalog servers, it is also important to place the infrastructure master on a server that is NOT a Global Catalog server. Recommended Best Practice setup of FSMO roles. Domain Controller #1 Place the two forest roles on this server. * Schema Master * Domain Master Domain Controller #2 Place the domain roles on this server. * RID Master * Infrastructure Master * PDC Emulator If more domains exist in the forest, place the domain roles on a server in theese domains like Domain Controller #2 Global Catalog configuration.

...Presented to – Adeyl khan, course instructor: MIS 205, Sec: 3 Group Assignment-1 Due date: 14.6.2012 2012 Report on an organization Grameenphone Sadi mohammad- 1110725030 Abu Shoaib khan- 1020722030 Grameenphone – An Overview Since 1997 the widely acclaimed “Village Phone Program” of Grameenphone – a joint venture telecom company, set up by Grameen Bank, with foreign (Norwegian) capital3 – has provided telephones to 39,000 villages in Bangladesh, bringing access to the telephone networks to some 70 million people. This extraordinary achievement is rightly cited in the development literature as a success, an innovation which managed to bring the Information Society to the remotest and most unlikely places of the country. Most studies of the initiative have focused on the socio-economic benefits that new technology such as cell phones can bring rural communities, giving the impression that the program is philanthropic in intention, presenting Grameenphone as a not-for-profit organization devoted to providing connectivity for the poor. This assumption does not reflect reality. GP is above all a business. The company provides a good example of a multi-stakeholder partnership, as recommended in the Plan of Action of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) held in Geneva in December 2003.4 It highlights the role of the private sector not only as a market player but also as an effective and dynamic stimulator of development.

However we are here to present to you what security, users, and possible threats to your mainframe issues can impose. In today’s society we deal with many types of hackers and they are not like the 1980’s. Today we deal with threats unlike ever before, some examples would be: The stakes are high as the Institute of Medicine (IOM) highlights in its recent publication related to privacy: “Breaches of an individual’s privacy and confidentiality may affect a person’s dignity and cause irreparable harm” and “[unauthorized disclosures] can result in stigma, embarrassment, and discrimination.” IOM: Beyond the HIPAA Privacy Rule—Enhancing Privacy, Improving Health Through Research, February 4, 2009” 1. So Many Mobile Devices, So Much Risk Mobile devices are ubiquitous in today's society, and the number and types of devices used by physicians, nurses, clinicians, specialists, administrators and staff – as well as patients and visitors – is growing at healthcare organizations across the country.

...Patricia A. Patrician, PhD, RN, FAAN Douglas Oliver, DNP, RN, ACNS-BC, NE-BC Rebecca S. Miltner, PhD, RNC-OB, NEA-BC Charge nurses are untapped leadership resources that can be groomed for future advanced leadership positions in healthcare organizations. The purpose of this study was to understand the development needs for the charge nurse role. This study demonstrates they receive little or no training for assuming positions of leadership and offers suggestions for enhancement of preparation. There is growing evidence of an impending crisis in chief nursing officer (CNO) retention.1 Seventy percent of CNOs report they will change jobs or retire in the future.2 The critical need for succession planning in nursing leadership has been demonstrated, yet two-thirds of CNOs reported that they do not have succession plans in place.3 Proactive planning is clearly needed to prepare the next generation of nursing leaders.4 The 1st step in succession planning is to identify nurses to mentor and develop. Commonly, nurses in management roles are likely candidates for development; however, many organizations do not consider charge nurses candidates for advancement based on the perception of the role as more of a task master than leader.5 Martha Dawson, DNP, RN, FACHE Kathleen A.

...MILESTONE 4 – DATA MODELING Synopsis D ata modeling is a technique for organizing and documenting a system’s data. Data is viewed as a resource to be shared by as many processes as possible. As a result, data must be organized in a way that is flexible and adaptable to unanticipated business requirements – and that is the purpose of data modeling. In this milestone you will first discover those entities in the system that are or might be described by data. With each entity we identify, we will define it in respect to the business. Then, we will construct a Context Data Model that graphically depicts each of the entities and the relationships they have with each other. Next, we will refine the context data model to include primary and foreign keys. The resulting model is called a Key-Based Data Model. Finally, we refine the key-based data model to include any hierarchies and attributes, and this model is referred to as the Fully Attributed Data Model. Objectives After completing this milestone, you should be able to: Understand and perform the techniques for entity discovery. Define each entity with respect to the business and complete an entity/definition matrix. Perform the necessary data modeling techniques to organize and document the data requirements for the proposed system. Construct the Context, Key-Based, and Fully Attributed data models. Prerequisites Before starting this milestone the following topics should be covered: 1. Data modeling...

...kettinger@memphis.edu A Paper submitted to the MISQ Executive special issue on “Big Data” Acknowledgements: The authors are indebted to Cynthia Beath and the special issue editors and reviewers for their advice on how to substantially improve this article. An earlier version of the paper was presented at the Pre-ICIS 2012 SIM Academic Workshop on “When Data is Ubiquitous: How to Succeed in a World of Big Data”. We are thankful to Omar El Sawy and other participants at the workshop for their insightful comments. We would also like to offer our sincere gratitude to the anonymous retailer and big data analytics company that provided so much time and insight concerning their experiences with monetization of big data. 1 Corresponding Author 1 Data Monetization: A Retailer’s Journey The ability to monetize a company’s data has been an elusive goal. However, in the era of big data, business intelligence and analytics, and cloud computing, this goal is becoming more achievable. The retail industry, with its exacting merchandising strategies and tight supply chain relationships, has taken the lead in demonstrating that monetizing data can provide a significant revenue stream and be an IT cost sharing mechanism. Point of sale, consumer loyalty, and inventory data can be sold to suppliers and some of the cost of analyzing the retailers' data can be recovered from their suppliers. This case study outlines the path one retailer followed in monetizing its data,...
