...SUBJECT: Ongoing Maintenance Memo Thank you for contacting me about continuing maintenance for New Century Wellness Group. However, I wanted to send some clarification as to what you may mean by maintenance. There are several different types of maintenance that can be done and are as follows. 1. Corrective Maintenance - is the process of diagnosing and correcting errors in a system. I have received messages from the New Century staff stating that they are experiencing slow response times at certain times of the day, which I have come to conclusion that it is due to a high server volume. Although this may not seem critical, it has been stated that this slow response time is causing employees to have difficulty keeping up with their workload. If the server continues to be overloaded, the heat caused from hardworking electronics could damage some of the hardware components of the system, causing permanent damage. Many errors that require corrective maintenance are the result of programming errors that need to be addressed quickly for daily business functions to continue effectively. As amazing as it would be to have a perfect product on the first install, software code can be very complex, and so even diligent...

...In 1990, a new concept was created by Microsoft Corporation to merge different software applications into a suite package allowing users to navigate and share resources between applications. Microsoft Office Suite 3.1 was introduced, tested and released for certain government offices. In 1997, Microsoft produced its first official suite office application package Microsoft Office Suite 97 for the public, which literally changed the way desktop applications were used in a business or home environment. Read more: Importance of the MS Office Suite | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/about_6117563_importance-ms-office-suite.html#ixzz2KEFPdTt9 Suite Features * The basic MS Office suite package has the following applications: MS Word (Word Processing), MS Excel (Spreadsheet and Accounting), MS PowerPoint (Presentations), MS Access (Database Creation and Management and MS Front Page (Web Development). These applications are marketed for home use, professional use (small business) and enterprise use (for workgroups larger than 15 people). Microsoft's strategy, which is an important aspect of using these integrated suite packages, was to make the basic menu systems look the same so users can be comfortable when using different applications. Familiarity with the menu systems gained more users. Integrated Concept * An important factor of MS Office Suite is the integration of software applications in the suite package, but yet allows each software program to keep its own identity...

...A Developed System for Business Management Sharly Joana Halder and Wooju Kim Yonsei University, Seoul 120-749, Republic of Korea {sjhalder,wkim}@yonsei.ac.kr Abstract. The readymade garment industry of Bangladesh has expanded dramatically over the last three decades. Traditionally, the jute industry dominated the industrial sector of the country until the 1970s. Since the early 1980s, the readymade garment industry has emerged as an important player in the economy of the country and has gradually replaced the jute industry. Although Bangladesh is a garments based country, in most of the garments, employees work manually though there are some error in the software and also those software do not work properly. We developed a system which highlighted the style sheet information, export L/C, back to back L/C, U/D preparation, input commercial invoice, export invoice and so on, which save time and money, increased data communication and transmission and faster data retrieval. Keywords: Export, import, readymade, garments. 1 Introduction The ready-made garment (RMG) industry of Bangladesh started in the late 1970s and became a prominent player in the economy within a short period of time. The industry has contributed to export earnings, foreign exchange earnings, employment creation, poverty alleviation and the empowerment of women. Shirts, T-shirts, trousers, sweaters and jackets are the main products manufactured and exported by the industry. Bangladesh exports its RMG products...

...Web 2.0: The New Standard Allen Brooks Southern New Hampshire University IT 210 Web 2.0 is quickly becoming the new standard for internet-based content. This new implementation proves a slippery term to define, but its conceptual themes can be seen throughout the most content-rich web pages on the Internet. As an improvement upon the now surpassed web 1.0, web 2.0 provides users with an Internet “experience” rather than presenting them with a static webpage by integrating constant information updates, collective intelligence, and exploiting the immense benefits of networking effects (2007, O’Reilly). An example of the differences between webs 2.0 and 1.0 can be gleaned from a comparison of the differing approaches to the “software as a service” models of the now struggling to survive Netscape against the booming Google. In 2001, the so-called “dot com bubble” burst and destroyed a conglomerate of business in the process. While many technologists submitted that this was an indication that the Internet itself was “overhyped”, in hindsight, this collapse marked a shift in the cyber landscape (O’Reilly). Tim O’Reilly remarks that, “shakeouts typically mark the point at which an ascendant technology is ready to take [the prevailing technology’s] place at center stage” (O’Reilly). This conclusion yields some insight to the reason for the collapse: users had become bored with stagnant web content that simply presented static information in the form of sporadically updated...

...by keeping the order systems off the Web. By 1997, Amazon‘s sales had reached $148 million for the year. Their databases were being run on servers while applications were being written in house. By early 2000, the company had over 100 separate database instances running on a variety of servers. These servers were handing terabytes of data. In 2000, Amazon decided to overhaul its entire system. The company spent $200 million on new applications, including analysis software from Epiphany, logistics from Manugistics, and a new DBMS from Oracle. The company also signed off on deals to work with SAS for data mining and analysis. However, the biggest deal was with Excelon for business-to-business integration systems. The system enables suppliers to communicate in real time, even if they do not have sophisticated IT departments. It provides a direct connection to Amazon‘s ERP system either through programming connections or through a Web browser. About the same time (May 2000), Amazon inked a deal with HP to supply new servers for IT department. The new systems ran the open-source Linux operating system. The return on investment was seen in 2001. Amazon was able to cut their IT costs by 24 percent in 2001 when compared to their IT costs in 2000. By 2004, the supply chain system at Amazon was a critical factor in its success.
