This is a report on the uses of I.C.T in Trionic Ltd.
GCSE ICT COURSEWORK. REPORT ON WORK EXPERIENCE ORGANISATION By; Thomas Mann Introduction This is a report on the uses of I.C.T in Trionic Ltd. They do not currently have an I.C.T system employed within the company, so I cannot report upon the system. However I will write a report on what I.C.T they do use and will include my own particular opinions on where they should have more I.C.T used. Trionic Ltd: Company Details: - The main business of my work experience organisation is the repair of computers and cash registers; it also sells goods to customers, and makes concept keyboards for cash registers and also programmes them. The company is based in one building, located at 10 Landress Lane. They have 3 staff currently working for them, Nigel Patemen, the owner, Chris Wrey, the computer technician and Anne Guttridge, the secretary. The company consists of 2 departments, communications (front desk), this deals with the telephone, and writing invoices etc. on the typewriter, Anne also deals with finances, and makes sure customers pay what they owe. The other departments are repair, purchasing and sales all located in the workroom, this department repairs computers brought in and also cash registers, it also uses the only computer in the room to purchase goods from suppliers on the internet, and has a small stock of goods which can be sold to customers, if they
If the IT industry is such a big business why do so many dot-coms fail?
Retesh Veja If the IT industry is such a big business why do so many dot-coms fail? You can do almost any thing on the Internet; shop, bank, search for information, chat to other people and more. So there is a big business out there to make big cash! Why do so many businesses try out on the web? Large number of internet users The number of people using the web is increasing each day because it's quicker and easier to do everyday tasks. So businesses think a lot more people are going to pass their sites on the web than there shop window. Cheaper It's cheaper to set a web page than a shop because of the rents, the electric and heating bills, furniture and you would need fewer employees. More efficient You could down load your orders on a database each day and send it off to a supplier and they can deliver direct this way you don't have to stock lots of products and there would be no wastage. 95 percent of dot-com businesses fail. So what is the cause of so many failures? These five factors cover the main reasons. . The Wrong Marketing Mindset Letting your customers know that you exist is very important because people don't walk in and out a web page like they do in a shop. You need a good name so everyone will remember it. Marketing an on line business is not as easy as putting signs in the local paper and the Yellow Pages or handing out flyers and waiting for
Social and Moral Implications of ICT
Social, moral and cultural implications of ICT The increase in development of ICT has had large impact on the society that we live in. Each new development in information technology raises new social, economic, ethical and moral issues. Worldwide developments in communication technology via mobile, satellite, wireless and cable will continue to enhance Internet access and change many aspects of our lives. For example, advancements in technology have made huge changes in the way shops are run. Most large shops now have Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) terminals, which are cash registers that also act as terminals to a main computer system and till receipts are produced. Bar codes on a product are scanned to record the sale, identify the item being sold and can automatically update the shop's stock list. Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale (EFTPOS) are similar to EPOS and allow transfers of funds directly from a customers bank account to the shops' bank account when a credit or debit card is used by the customer. This technology acts as a simpler way of transferring funds and prevents errors in calculating stock and payments. There is less chance of theft because no cash is used and it is more secure for transferring large amounts of money. Online shopping has also changed the way many people buy and sell products, allowing customers to shop at the convenience of
Developing a Business
Ownership The type of ownership for the business will be a partnership. This is the most obvious choice as there are two people involved, my business partner and me. A partnership can involve between two and twenty partners allowing for further expansion and more financial backing if needed. The partnership would be owned in a ratio of 60:40, me owning 60%. This means we would share the cash input and profits and losses in this ratio, which is bad in the short-term for me, but hopefully good in the long-term. A partnership brings additional expertise from all the partners. A formal partnership agreement would have to be drawn up to settle any disputes. The problems with a partnership are that there is unlimited liability meaning that it is possible to lose personal possessions e.g. car and house, and that there is limited cash input. Cash would only be available internally and with loans. The alternative was a private limited company (ltd.) which would have a larger financial backing and limited liability to the value of shareholding, but in the long-term there is less profit and less control when shareholders come in to the plan as well as high set-up costs.Limited companies also have to pay more tax. Name The name for the business that I have decided on is?????? this conveys the message that the company operates in the UK an could also be in europeain countries Aims
ICT CMS
Coursework (CMS) Background: I am Adel Gazarin an I.C.T business consultant hired by Mr. Amr Gazarin, the manager of a local school canteen called A.G cafe to design and create a sales system which will be used by the canteen staff. A.G cafe's is located in a corner in the schools AstroTurf, the orders are made from a small window where student line up in front of every break time. The cues are usually long as there is one window which many students order from. Problem Definition: The manager of A.G cafe is having a problem with the existing system because they are currently using a manual method to record their sales, this is very time consuming and it also makes calculating profits gained more difficult and many errors are made using this manual method. The canteen has many meals which are regularly produced but are not popular in the market and they also have products which are very popular in the market but the canteen has a shortage in this product such as the chicken parmesan in A.G cafe. The product I will design and produce will not only help my end-user calculate the profit gained throughout the year. The product will also help, record stocks and provide invoices to customers. I am planning to design a "sales system" product. Alternatives: I have three alternatives to create the 'sales system' the first alternative, I could design a spread sheet with macros
Remote Network Administration for the
Jason Rusk IS300 Term Paper Remote Network Administration for the Home and Small Office User Remote network administration is a fast growing and widely used technology in the IT field today. It gives system and network administrators as well as home users the ability to fix problems, allow or deny access to websites, download information directly from another computer, and give program permissions for different users from the office that they are at or from anywhere in the world that has an internet connection. With this very powerful technology, come some very significant problems such as securing remote access sessions via data encryption, the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPN's) and a vast amount of networking and connection problems that can occur. There are very useful tools and articles that have been written and programmed to help the network administrator or the savvy user that wants to connect to his computer at home. This paper will focus on network administration for small business and home users using a VPN, Remote Desktop Connection and Symantec's PC Anywhere for Microsoft Windows XP Professional. Personal experience has shown that working remotely is very difficult to set up. This tends to discourage many users from using this kind of technology because it requires a large amount of know-how and patience. A SOHO user must have at least a basic knowledge
Internet banking security
Internet banking security Subject: Name: Form: Due date: Teacher: Online banking is used for making transactions & payments over the Internet through a bank or credit union. This allows customers to do their banking outside of bank hours and from anywhere in the world, as long as there is internet access. Most major banks provide an internet banking service and there are also some internet only banking companies who offer all their services online and do not have high street branches. In most cases a web browser is utilized and any normal internet connection is suitable. No special software or hardware is usually needed though many exist. With all the major developments in internet security such as the establishment of encryption, secure passwords and tokens, I firmly believe that it is wise to conduct business and personal banking activities though the internet, infact I would recommend it as you are more likely to be mugged in the street then to loose your money though internet hackers. Protection through single password, as is the case in most secure Internet shopping sites, including eBay, is not considered secure enough for online banking in some countries. Online banking sites are very secure which means that the traffic of all information, including the password, is encrypted, making it extremely hard for a person to get the information after it is sent.
