Our Previous Samples

Recently, a terminated employee used his mobile device to log in to
the company network and steal sensitive data. As the manager of the
information technology (IT) security department, you were asked by
your boss to present a summary of what the organization should do to
prevent this from happening again. Create a PowerPoint presentation of
your summary. In your PowerPoint presentation, you should include the
components listed below.

Explain the goal of information security in relation to mobile devices.
Identify the three sources of threats, provide a summary of each, and
provide at least one example of each.
Explain technical safeguards, and discuss which technical safeguard(s)
should be used for mobile devices.
Explain data safeguards, and discuss which data safeguard(s) should be
used in this type of scenario.
Explain human safeguards, and discuss which human safeguard(s) should
be implemented.
Discuss why the organization needs an incident response plan to secure
information and knowledge.

Your presentation must be a minimum of six slides in length, not
counting the title and reference slides. Be sure that any graphics
used are appropriate and support the content of your presentation. You
must use at least two references in your presentation, and they should
be cited and referenced in APA format. Please cite all sources used.

Scenario A

You are the business owner of a local small engine repair shop, and
you have been thinking about implementing a knowledge management
system for your customer service technicians. You are thinking about
this because there are times when some of your technicians know how to
fix certain engine problems and others do not. Providing a central
knowledge repository could help share troubleshooting and repair
knowledge among your technicians.

Scenario B

You are the business owner of a local cleaning service, and you have
been thinking about implementing a knowledge management system for
your cleaning technicians, especially for those who troubleshoot and
solve cleaning problems, such as removing certain carpet and water
stains, addressing mold, and selecting the proper tools and products
to use for other types of cleaning issues. You are thinking about this
because there are times when some of your cleaning technicians know
how to properly clean carpets and others do not. Providing a central
knowledge repository could help share cleaning knowledge among your
cleaning technicians.

After you chose your scenario (A or B), compose a paper that addresses
the elements listed below.

Explain the role of knowledge management systems.
Explain what is meant by expert systems.
Explain what is meant by content management systems.
Discuss how the business in the selected scenario could benefit from
an expert system and a content management system, and provide two
examples for each type of system.
Discuss how the business in the selected scenario could benefit from
business intelligence, and provide two examples of these benefits.
Discuss how the business in the selected scenario can use social media
to not only obtain information and knowledge but to share it as well,
and provide two examples of how the business might use social media
information systems.

Your paper must be at least two pages in length (not counting the
title and reference pages), and you must also use at least two
scholarly sources, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library
(attached). Any information from a source must be cited and referenced

Scenario: A company called Colony Nursery and Landscaping opened a new
store located a few hundred miles away from its original location. The
company wants to implement an award system that awards their customers
with points whenever customers make a purchase, but the two stores are
not able to share information. Colony Nursery and Landscaping will
need to implement an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that
will solve the information silo problem by collecting and making this
user data available. Colony Nursery and Landscaping is hoping that by
providing customers with this award system, they will be able to
maintain competitive advantage. Colony Nursery and Landscaping cannot
afford to purchase, develop, or maintain this system on-site, so they
are investigating cloud solutions.

In addition, for many organizations, Colony Nursery and Landscaping
included, information silos make it difficult to tap into needed
information. Discuss whether or not the problem of information silos
can be solved by using the cloud. Some organizations do not have the
resources to construct or maintain their computer infrastructure, so
they utilize cloud services instead to reduce costs and improve
scalability. In this assignment, you will discuss whether or not the
cloud offers solutions for Colony Nursery and Landscaping and identify
an application that the ERP system could provide. Compose an essay
that includes the elements listed below.

Define what an information silo is.
Explain why information silos are a problem for organizations.
Discuss why organizations are moving to the cloud.
Determine whether or not using cloud services, such as a cloud-based
host for data storage, would solve the ERP information silo problem at
Colony Nursery and Landscaping.
Explain how using the ERP system and awards program would provide a
competitive advantage for Colony Nursery and Landscaping.
Discuss why the implementation of an ERP system might require business
process reengineering for Colony Nursery and Landscaping. Be sure to
explain the business processes that will be affected (e.g., the
customer awards system). Use diagrams or tables as needed, but this is
not required.

Your essay must be a minimum of two pages in length (not counting the
title and reference pages), and it must be formatted in APA style. You
should include an introduction section that gives background and
context to your reader. You must use at least two scholarly resources
as references. Any information from these resources must be cited and
referenced in APA format.

For decades, relational databases remained essentially unchanged; data
was segmented into specific chunks for columns, slots, and
repositories, also called structured data. However, in this Internet
of Things (IoT) era, databases need to be reengineered because the
very nature of data has changed. Today’s databases need to be
developed with the needs of IoT in mind and have the ability to
perform real-time processing to manage workloads that are dynamic. For
example, relational databases should be able to work with real-time
data streaming and big data (an example was presented in the Unit III
Lesson).

Scenario: Falcon Security wants their customers to be able to view
security video footage in real-time and provide customers with the
ability to query video footage for viewing. Choosing a database
solution such as MongoDB would allow Falcon Security to store customer
video footage in the same database as the metadata.

To do this, Falcon Security needs a way to manage the demands of
real-time data streaming for real-time analytics. Conduct some
research for a NoSQL database application, such as MongoDB or
Cassandra, that could meet this need. How would switching to a
real-time database solution help Falcon Security remain competitive?
Create a PowerPoint presentation that includes the components listed
below.

Provide a brief introduction to IoT.
Present the argument to the Falcon Security CEO that switching to a
more dynamic database structure (NoSQL real-time database) will meet
the demands of IoT.
Introduce some features of the database you chose, whether it is
MongoDB, Cassandra, or another database.
Describe how switching to a more dynamic database will give Falcon
Security a competitive advantage.

Your presentation must be a minimum of six slides in length (not
counting the title and reference slides), and you must use at least
two academic resources. Any information from a resource used must be
cited and referenced in APA format.

In this assignment, you will create a presentation for your
organization to explain how successful collaboration can improve
success and provide competitive advantages.

Scenario: Your organization has used a variety of collaboration
systems developed by some project managers. Some of these systems were
successful while others were not. Your organization has one unique
challenge—many of your employees are staffed at other locations or
work from home (telework). You would like to standardize the
collaboration process to improve team communication for all company
projects. In your presentation, you should include the elements listed
below.

Explain why collaboration information systems (IS) are important from
the organization’s perspective.
Discuss how collaboration tools can improve team communication.
Identify three tools that will be used for synchronous communications
and three tools that will be used for asynchronous communications. Be
sure to explain why you made these choices.
Describe how project files, such as Microsoft (MS) Word, MS Excel, MS
Project, and MS Visio, will be shared with team members. Be sure to
explain the rationale behind your choice.
Explain how the task list for managing tasks will be shared with team
members. Be sure to explain the rationale behind your choice.
Discuss how this new collaboration IS could provide competitive
advantages for your organization.

Your presentation should be a minimum of six slides in length (not
counting the title and reference slides). Use of images, graphics, and
diagrams is encouraged.

You can use an industry of your choosing or examples from your
personal or professional experiences in developing this assignment.
You can also use the resources in the Unit II Suggested Reading
section to assist you with this assignment.

presentation, and you must cite (in APA format) any information on
your slides or in your speaker notes that came from these sources.

In this unit, you have learned about management information systems
(MIS) and the importance of it. For this assignment, compose a paper
that discusses the key differences between data, information,
information technology (IT), and information systems (IS). Your paper
should address the components listed below.

Define what is meant by information.
Define what is meant by data.
Create two matrices (one for data and one for information) that
illustrate the key differences between information and data, place the
matrices into your paper, and briefly discuss the differences in one
or two paragraphs. Each matrix should contain characteristics and/or
facts  about the subjects (data and information) that show how they
are different.
Define IT.
Define IS.
Using the five-component model as an example, discuss some differences
between IT and IS.

If you are using Microsoft Word, you can develop a matrix using this
program. For an example of how to create a matrix using Microsoft
Word, see the Microsoft.com explanation by clicking the link below.
