The end user of my program is for the people applying for the insurance their private cars the information will not be seen by them but details will be passed through to the telephone assistant who is the main end user. The information that is proposed to the present user is going to be on screen for the telephone assistant and in the form of a confirmation for the customer applying for the insurance. The methods of reproductions that are going to be used is the mail merge that is going to link the onscreen info inputted by the telephone assistant to a written word statement that will be merged into the current customers details, the copies that will be needed depends on the customers request for a backup copy of the conformation form but is essential that the Hawks company print one copy for the customer and save a copy for future references the copies will be needed if it is ever required to check up on the customers or for the Hawks company to receive the rest of their remaining balance from that customer. The only data that will change the outcome of the price is if the customer has changed their current Car, their address or chooses to change their current car cover plan. The current system will cost the company a lot of money because at the moment customers forms are taking over 30 half an hour to complete this means more telephone staff are required which means more

Unit 3-ICT and Society- Working Adult The Person I have chosen for my working adult is Mark Ward (Retail manager) of Woolworths in Greenford on Marylebone road; it is also the place where I had the opportunity to do my work experience there and investigate how is ICT used in their everyday lifestyle for all sorts of reasons. Mark usually makes sure that every employee has a job to do and they are doing their job properly, if you require any assistance or if you have any queries about something then he is the individual you need to go to. Mark also works around the store just like any other employee and makes sure everything is going well and that everyone is undertaking the job they have been given to do. Woolworth is a Retail shop; they have on which people can shop online at www.woolworths.co.uk and have can have their products delivered home to them within 5 working days. They have a huge team of employees who are properly and highly trained and they know how to handle difficult situations in difficult circumstances. They are very sensitive about health and safety and especially about the safety of their member of staff. They have a very good record of history of health and safety, to them health and safety of their employees and the customers is more important then anything else. Woolworths is not a big organisation so it doesn't have other organisations as their
The impact of ICT on a person with special/particular needs
3C - The impact of ICT on a person with special/particular needs Introduction Over 10% of the world's population suffers from a variety of different disabilities. These different disabilities all hold certain negative effects on each person affecting their ability to work as effectively as their co-workers, understand and comprehend things as easily as others, focus and concentrate on topics at hand or affecting the movement of a part of their body. Out of the thousands of different disabilities out there, all of these have their different negative effect and although not every single disability may do so, the majority of these mental or physical disabilities limit the person's potential and ability to function normally. However, with ICT and the development of technology, these limits have often been conquered to allow people with a certain disability to function to the best of their natural ability allowing them to uphold their position as a normal or even upstanding citizen in the workplace and in everyday life. An excellent example would be Stephen Hawking, one of the most highly redeemed physicist and cosmologist and famously known to the general public all around the world. He suffers from a disease called Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis which essentially attacks and over time critically corrodes all of his neurological functions affecting his motor neurones and

ICT AND SOCIETY
ICT AND SOCIETY Introduction In this coursework I will be describing the different Acts designed for different purposes to protect individuals, the community, people with special needs and the working adult. I will be talking about the Data Protection Act 1984 later changed to 1998, The Computer Misuse Act 1990, The Freedom of Information Act 2000 and The Copyright Design and Patterns Act 1989. All these Acts are deigned for the benefit of individuals as it restricts them from breaking some of the laws which is illegal. Task1 The Data Protection Act 1998 The Data Protection Act was developed to give protection and lay down rules about how data about people can be used. Usually this data is stored on a computer. The Data protection Act(DPA) is a United Kingdom Act of parliament that provides a legal basis and allowing for the privacy and protection of data of individuals in the UK. The act places restrictions on organisations which collect or hold data which can identify a living person. The Act does not apply to domestic use e.g. keeping a personal address book. Data collected by any person or organisation may only be used for the specific purposes for which they were collected. Personal data may only be kept for an appropriate length of time and must not be disclosed to other parties without the consent of the data owner, unless there is legislation or other
Develop a spreadsheet application for the Ibis Hotel.
Identify Objective The objective of the coursework is to develop a spreadsheet application for the Ibis Hotel. In the coursework I will discuss four main steps of software development- Identify, Analysis, Design and Implementation & Testing. Using the application software, the hotel can manage its staff and business efficiently and effectively. The objective of the coursework is to produce computerised business letter (using mail merge and other features instead of using a type writer). This is being done so that Ibis Hotel can publish their good works into the open environment and have more people visiting the hotel. This has been done so that the staff at Ibis Hotel will become more relaxed with their work. I will also create labels for the staff so that the hotel can use it for different purposes. E.g. used at the back on envelopes to give a sophisticated look. The two objectives of the coursework are - understanding of the software development and to use varieties of tools and techniques to meet the client requirements. Introduction Ibis hotel is a two star hotel in Stratford, and has 55 bedrooms, all with bathrooms and toilets. I am going to carry out my coursework assignment on the improvement on the computerisation of the hotel by using Information Technology. The hotel is dependant on a great deal on manual administrative work. I have checked with the hotel and

It is a private limited company, which specialises in repairing and maintaining services for homes and businesses.

Technologies have caused a massive impact on our working style as they allow us to carry out a number of activities. These activities vary from communicating, for entertainment, guidance and furthermore. Technologies have assisted every individual on the whole whether they are in employment, schools, and if they are facing disability. Up till now I have described what technologies I make use of and how it causes an impact on my daily life. I have also written a report on how adults in employment utilize several of technologies and an evaluation on how the technologies facilitate them.
