...Hospitality Information Systems and Users Paper Kim Sullins BIS/303 October 26, 2015 Craig Wheeler Hospitality Information Systems and Users Paper Inventory tracking is the controlling and overseeing of storage and the ordering of components that many companies use in producing items. Inventory tracking used also for overseeing and controlling of finished products for sale. A company’s inventory is their investment and a part of their assets that has sold and used in the company as part of its production. Inventories that are mismanaged may create sizeable financial and inventory problems for companies, whether the mismanagement results in an inventory shortage, over inventory and loss in possible sales. The two types of inventory tracking used are Perpetual and Periodic. In a perpetual (usually used in supermarkets or department stores), a continuous flow of inventory count is tracked using a point of sale (POS) check out system. This system is perfect for companies to manage what has sold and reorder when a reorder point has reached. Another advantage of this system is its ability to account for shrinkage (theft) and inventory turnover. The periodic system (used in smaller retailers) used to take a physical count of inventory at periodic intervals to...

...Hospitality Information Systems and Users BIS/303 September 2, 2013 Hospitality Information Systems and Users In America today there are several agencies, companies, and organizations that contribute information systems that help consumers with decision. Technology has continued to increase and bring new ways to obtain information. The computer user of these types of information systems has evolved as well. Each individual user can gather, send out, or just read information out on the Internet. Organizations use the information systems to keep sections files, records, employee training, and financial paperwork in order. Theses systems help maintain a record and keep the files organize for the business. Human resources are one example of an organization section that maintains employee’s records, training, and personal information. The human resources field is often derelict in business management. This neglect is supported by that a proficient human resources department should function without fanfare. An example of this would be when a project team effectively launches a product on time and within budget, and this is called an excellent accomplishment for that business. In the software industry, human resources have not gone unnoticed and have become more important to a business. There is a wider range of programs or applications available to help the human resources department in completing tasks, but this also helps to achieve goals making automation possible...

...Does user involvement in information system development influence positive organisational change toward the system? This document has been prepared for reading by anyone interested in information systems and how users involvement can influence change to organisation. By Nybor Yam8 April 2013 | Introduction Information systems play a core role in business today by enabling the organisation to function effectively and efficiently. Despite applying best practices, controlled procedures and methodology’s it is quoted that two out of three IT projects will fail which is often associated with a lack of attention to the softer management practices such as culture change, organisation development and user involvement (Coombs, Doherty, Clarke 2001, Maguire, Redman 2007, Nelson, 2007). Today’s organisations must strive for systems that are technically sound, fulfil all user’s needs and provide quality results. With organisations relying more heavily on information systems to perform many of its business processes the information systems should be integrated within the organisation’s culture as well as supporting work practices (Maguire, Redman, 2007). Involving end users in the information systems development process is one approach that is much supported by a variety of literature. While it is generally accepted within literature that user involvement in information systems development does improve the prospects of the users accepting the system therefore enhancing...

...thing to understand is what the standard for “internal use only” is. The definition of “internal use only” is “Information or data shared internally by an organization. While confidential information or data may not be included, communications are not intended to leave the organization.” What does that mean? It means that information being used by this classification is to be created, used, and distributed through the organization and nowhere else. Let’s now explain the technical side of things. The IT infrastructure domains consist of 7 different domains. These domains are user domain, workstation domain, LAN domain, LAN-to WAN domain, remote access domain, system/application domain, and WAN domain. For the use of “Internal use only” classification it should only include the following domains. The following contains information on how “internal use only” classification is affected by these domains. User domain- The user domain is by far the most vulnerable. This domain can be vulnerable by the employee’s actions, emotions, and awareness of company policies and procedures. It is up to the user to use the information correctly not necessarily up to the network protocols in place. The best way to mitigate this issue it to monitor abnormal behavior and have employees understand the company’s acceptable use policy. Workstation domain- The workstation domain is how the user connect to the company’s IT infrastructure. It can be from workstations to personal data assistance devices...

The alumni has set up a web site that for the alumni members to view the information of the alumni activities. However, some of the alumni members complain that they cannot contact with the members for further more information about the alumni activities and upload the photos of the alumni activities. So the president asks me to design a new website for the alumni which are user-friendly. 1.2 Definition of the problems There are mainly 3 problems of the website 1.) The information of the alumni activities are not detail enough. It just provides the date of the activities and where the activities will be held. The members need to ask members of the committee for the details. It increases the workload of them. 2.) They cannot communicate with each other. The website doesn’t provide the contact the method of the graduates so that they need to ask the committee for the graduates contact method. 3.) They cannot have the discussion with a large group of people at the same time. It doesn’t provide a space to let...

...Unit 7 Assignment 1 AD Password Policy Planning TO: Client I can understand you’re concerned with your company’s security after all information on competitors can be invaluable or very harmful to a company and this is why it must be protected from prying eyes. This does not have to mean that you have to lose productivity over trying to secure your networks information. Simple measure like user names and passwords can be used to protect less sensitive information however how strong you make those usernames and passwords can have a great effect on how well your information is protected. I’m going to give you some tips on how to better secure your network with the tools that you already have at hand, keep in mind that you can also buy better security items to better protect you network things like; smart card, finger print scanners, retinal scanners, etc. but I only recommend these for really sensitive information and only for certain users in your company. On the server that is the DC log in to the administrator account and in the “Active Directory Users and Computers” in the Domain icon in the left pane click on the “Users” icon, you’ll be able to see all of the users in that domain. From here you can click on any user and make changes as necessary, for user names I recommend you use the following format; using capital and lower case letters the first letter of their name, their whole last name and their employee number, ex. “JVentura10415867@Domain*%$.Local” if someone...

...Investments will include the User domain, Workstation domain, and the LAN domain. This data classification will include information such as new employee training materials, company telephone/email directory, and internal policy manuals. Even though this is not “Top Secret” information it is still important for the company to keep the information within the company. The User domain covers all of the employees that will be connecting to the company’s network. Since human beings cannot be controlled like computers this domain is the weakest out of the seven domains. In order to protect the company employees must sign an AUP before being allowed to connect to the network. The Workstation domain is where users first access company systems, applications, and data. In order to connect users will be required to login with their own unique username and password. Users will only be allowed to use company computers on the network. Company computers will be kept up to date on all software patches and updates in order to help ensure security. The LAN domain includes all data closets and physical as well as logical elements of the LAN. All data closets will be locked down and only authorized personnel will have access. The largest threat to this domain is unauthorized access. All users will undergo background checks through Human Resources to ensure they can be trusted on the company’s LAN.

To access Richman Investments internal data base any user, employee or third party representative must agree to the acceptable use policy (AUP). “While confidential information or data may not be included, communications, documents or any data are not intended to leave the organization.” (Beecher, 2013) There are 3 types of IT infrastructure domains that are affected by the “Internal Use Only” data classification standard of Richman Investments listed as follows: User Domain is the first layer of the infrastructure and is defined as any person (single user) accessing Richman Investments internal data base information system who has agreed to the AUP. This Domain defines the user permissions. This is where the IT department defines what access each individual user will have on the network. This is considered to weakest link in the company’s infrastructure. Workstation Domain is the second layer of the infrastructure and is defined as the first access point to the Richman Investments internal data base information system, applications and data. This layer requires a login and password authentication before access is allowed. No personal devices or removable media are allowed. ”This is where the IT department performs regular updates, anti-virus and anti-malware installed on each workstation for monitoring. There is also an Access Control List (ACL) which shows what access each individual user has on the network.” (Impact...
