7.1 Security

There are 5 major threats that can potentially harm our system. The first threat is natural disasters; our company can counter this by backing up our system or storing our data in a separate location.  The next threat can be either employees or consultants that can harm our system by tampering or unintentional errors.  We can avoid this by incorporating physical access restrictions within our stores.  Another threat to our system is Links to outside business contacts.  We can prevent this threat by encrypting our data before we send it. Finally there's the threats of outsiders and viruses corrupting our systems.  We have the choice of using firewalls and/or encryption to off put these threats.

6.1 - Web 2.0

Using the Web as a Platform levels the playing field and gives every one equal opportunities to branch out using the web.   Our company, The Pizza Shop, uses the web to promote, interact, and preform transactions with our consumers and other businesses.  Harnessing Collective Intelligence compiles all input into making the web or products better. Our company allows users to give us feedback on some things that we could do to better our company.  Our site also allows users to leave reviews on their visit to our business.  Our company uses the Leveraging the data aspect by connecting our site to a database to make it more dynamic.  Doing this we are able to customize our site to meet the customers needs and provide our services to them effectively.  Implementing Innovative Capabilities is basically enhancing the web in any way.  Our company enhances our site by allow our customers to use a widget that allows them to place future orders for our products.

5.2 Extranet Diagram

My company would use the extranet to communicate with our supplier to get the materials when needed. We would set up a firewall so that other people outside of the company cannot access our VPN. The VPN would protect our information from other people who can access the internet. we would then be able to communicate with our suppliers without any outside interference.

4.3 Packet-Switching

This image shows how the router sends off data from A and B converts it into packets and sends it out to C and D. The router uses the client to request the work and the server does all the work. While requesting the work the router creates a peer network between each of the routers. The IP then determines the size of the packets. TCP then checks the packets for errors or duplicates. The IP then delivers the packets to the appropriate routers.  Everything explained in the diagram is packet-switching technology.

5.3 Intranet Achitectural Diagram

    This diagram shows how an intranet works within a corporation.  Inside the "intranet" block, the client  inside the network sends information through the corporate server, through the firewall, and over the internet to the client outside the LAN.  The client can now see the information sent using an intranet.

4.2 A Basic Network

This graph displays a Client-Server Relationship or a Server Centric Relationship.  The connection you see is the transmission medium.  Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be sent over a connection.  The connection can be through wireless media or cable media.  There are protocols, or rules of the relationship, to make sure everything runs smoothly.

4.1 IFS H/W Infrastructure

This image shows how we use input technologies, such as keyboards and mouses, to input letters into the system unit.  The unit then uses processing technologies to convert the letters into binary code, or machine language, so that the CPU can then interpret it.  The CPU uses bytes, which are composed of 8 bits, to understand each letter.  The ALU then calculates the bits into ASCII, which is the language that we understand.  Then the results of the calculations are stored in the control unit and are visible through output technologies.

3.2 Business Case

Faith:  I believe that if your company decides to invest in our information system, you will see a major increase in your company's customer sales, the company's website will operate smoother, and your company will gain a competitive advantage over the competition.

Fear:  If you decide not to incorporate our system, your competitors will.  Many of them all ready have.  Your company will continuously see drops in sales and eventually go out of business.

Fact:  Companies who choose incorporate our system will see that within the next 3 years they usually see an increase in total benefit of $7000+.

2.1 Flickr Case Study

The 3 enablers I chose for the Flickr case study are Uploading, Informing/In-sourcing, and Steroids.

                The uploading aspect of the website is pretty basic.  Flickr.com enables users to upload pictures to the site, free of charge, at their own will.  The site also uses a feature called “Tags” which lets the user and the site categorize uploaded photos.

               
                I used Informing and In-sourcing because Flickr.com is in conjunction with Yahoo.com, one of the most powerful search engines in the world.  Both site share Ad space on the other site incorporating the In-sourcing enabler.

             
               I chose the Steroid enabler simply because the site users to upload an unlimited amount of pictures to the site at no cost.  The site provides as much space as the user needs.
