...requirement for a technology-based system to provide the tools for global organizations to archive and manage information has become an increasingly present issue. The use of a corporate-wide portal, supported by a collaborative, content management platform, provides an Information Management System (IMS) that culminates organizational information and intellectual capital, document storage, and collaborative workspaces into a single resource, accessible through a centralized portal interface (Microsoft, 2006, p. 14). Configuration Management (CM) encompasses the management of requirements, production, testing, technical documentation, and organizational processes during the lifecycle of a software system’s development. Within Information Technology (IT) organizations, CM defines a series of systematic controls for changes and developments to the software system, which ensure the integrity and traceability of the environment and software configuration throughout the development lifecycle. The CM process is a culmination of activities and support from each level of the organization, ensuring compliance with all applicable standards and guidelines for software development and production. Integral to effective employment of CM processes is collaboration amongst the following cross-functional Teams: CM, Information Assurance (IA), and Software/Systems Administration (SA). The use of Microsoft® SharePoint® Services supports and promotes the necessary collaborative environment and...

...Sunday, October 30, 2011 Windows Server Proposal For Worldwide Advertising Inc. Below is a project for my Windows Server Administration Course. This was the first course of the kind I have taken. Let me know what you think. Summary Servers are the backbone of an organization. The implementation and configuration of a server network can determine the prosperity or failure of a business. After reviewing the needs of Worldwide Advertising Inc., I have come up with what I think is the best solution. I will be covering infrastructure server roles such as: DHCP and DNS, which work behind the scenes, to the application servers which give life to your advertising dreams. I have prescribed an active directory schema that will require effortless management. I have proposed a File and Sharing implementation that suites a growing enterprise as well as state of the art data storage. I have also noted some preliminary estimates of scheduling and manpower required for the solution. Deployment and Server Edition Throughout the infrastructure the most advanced server operating system, Windows Server 2008 R2, will be used. Enterprise edition will be leveraged on all servers, because it has 4 virtual licenses per OS. To increase reliability and security Server Core will be on all servers. There will be a total of 10 servers for the Worldwide Advertising Inc. internal network. The majority of the servers will be managed from the Los Angeles main office while four servers...

In addition to the prevalence of information technology, the complexity of delivering access to services from a growing number of devices, platforms, and places than ever before forces information security to be a paramount matter. Multi-device access benefits your users, especially with the consumerization of IT, but broader access represents another potential attack surface. At the same time, organizations face ever-evolving cyber-threats from around the world that target users who may accidentally lose or compromise sensitive data. When you consider moving your organization to cloud services to store your data and various productivity services, the security concerns add another layer of consideration. That consideration is one of trust. You have to be able to trust your service provider to take care of the key expectations around processing and managing your data - security, privacy and compliance. Our construct for security, compliance, and privacy for Office 365 has two equally important dimensions. The...

...Microsoft: Developing a Strategic Plan NETW583: Final Project By Jamie Fairchild 8/9/2014 Section I Microsoft is a company that was founded on simple principles, to provide people with technology that is accessible, and can allow people to personalize their computers to meet their own needs and preferences. When the company was founded in 1975, they had a simple goal, to put a computer on every desktop and in every home. It is this philosophy that has guided them to huge success over nearly forty years of technological innovation. Unlike its main competitor, Apple Corporation, who entered into both the hardware and software markets, Microsoft focused its attention on software, the programs that run the hardware. Since then, they have entered into many different markets, producing a vast array of products, beginning with operating systems, then moving into other areas. They developed a widely used productivity software, Microsoft Office, and have moved into other areas as well, developing the Microsoft Surface, a tablet aimed at getting a share of the skyrocketing tablet market. Their diversity and willingness to collaborate with other companies has made them the tech giant that they are today. Microsoft’s vision is to “create innovative technology that is accessible to everyone and that adapts to each person’s needs, enabling individuals to take full advantage of their capabilities.” Microsoft has always developed products that are for the everyday user.

...Baderman Island Resort: Project Plan – Team “A” CMGT445: Application Implementation November 21st, 2011 Prof: Todd Doren Overview Baderman Island Resort is a popular resort destination for tourist that consists of three hotels, four restaurants, a convention center, two gift shops, a pro shop and a spa. These facilities provide guests something that Boardman Management likes to call "a slice of paradise." They are located on the Baderman Island which is actually in the Kelsey River, which is used as a method of transportation for guests. It is Baderman's goal to provide guests with a place for leisure, comfort and activity. Purpose To continue providing the upmost service, Boardman Management Group has placed a service request asking for assistance upgrading their word processing software. Since Boardman Management Group is in charge of the Baderman Island Resort sites, it will provide all of the facilities with a chance to standardize their word processing applications. Due to the fact that each location operates independently from each other a discovery will need to be performed and analyzed. One of the main purposes of this service request will be to determine whether or not an upgrade is needed for all of the computers on each site and to determine which application will be best suited as the standardized word processing application. Business Requirements As mentioned previously, Baderman seeks to upgrade its current WPS or replace it with a new one. In...
