A. 1. SWOT Analysis Strengths IBM’s continued domination of the global market produced record increases in revenues every year, with most of the revenues coming from its highly successful System/360 and System/370 mainframe series. These powerful mainframes, which fully automated a company’s manual information processing systems, became the industry standard that competitors tried to match. Apart from this, IBM’s high-priced lease strategy, backed by excellent customer service, also contributed

Unit 7 Research Paper 1: CMOS CMOS is known as Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. It is a technology used for constructing integrated circuits. The technology is used in microprocessors, microcontrollers, static RAM, and other digital circuits. Frank Wanlass patented CMOS in 1963. CMOS’s typical design is for logic functions using various MOSFETs also known as Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors. The early types of CMOS, which is used to store BIOS memory, used the on-board

the x86 series of microprocessors, the processors found in most personal computers. Intel Corporation, founded on July 18, 1968, is a portmanteau of Integrated Electronics (the fact that "intel" is the term for intelligence information also made the name appropriate). Intel also makes motherboardchipsets, network interface controllers and integrated circuits, flash memory, graphic chips, embedded processors and other devices related to communications and computing. Founded by semiconductor pioneersRobert

Transistors mark the beginning of the "Second Generation" of computers in 1947. Unfortunately, the 2nd Generation did not advance as much as most people hoped, but eventually, the "Third Generation" was brought about by the invention of integrated circuits in 1958. Integrated circuits replaced transistors, and many computer languages came out in this time. Many more computer companies were born during this time, and eventually this led to personal computers for everyday use. Microprocessors introduced the beginning

The first company to produce a processor chip with 2 billion transistors on it was? Yeah- you guessed it, Intel. In 2010, Intel released their quad-core Itanium Tukwila. 1- Is the growth reasonable? I believe it is. Why? Computer technology has improved in leaps and bounds over the years and there is no slowing it down. So long as we find new and exciting ways to use its application then it’ll grow more and more! 2- Is the growth surprisingly fast? No. Considering that every two years the

1. Explain the difference and the relationship between information technology (IT) and information systems (IS). Information Technology and Information Systems work hand in hand in many business scenarios, although they are not the same. Information Technology (IT) refers to the technological side of an organization, but is not limited to communications. The IT department is the division of engineering that deals with the use of computers and telecommunications to get, transmit, and store information
