Enterprise Systems         Enterprise systems seem to be a recognized vision by companies in today’s world. These viable software packages have the potential to seamlessly integrate all of the flowing data through the consumer information, accounting and financial information, supply chain information, and human resource information of the company. For managers who are struggling with high expenses and frustrations, incompatible systems of information, and varying practices of operating, the notion of a solution that is off-the-shelf to the business integration difficulty is enticing (Andergassen et al., 2015). This paper aims to recommend the best enterprise system to be implemented at Sugar Inc Company and the challenges they are likely to experience. There are three different types of enterprise systems available today are Supply Chain Management (CSM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). CSM software deals with logistics and resources needed to ensure products get to the consumers, CRM software focus is on consumer information, and ERP systems integrate supply chain, human resource, accounting, and consumer relationship management systems within their modules (Weedmark, 2018). The ERP software package…

It inspires the creation of new ideas, freedom of expression, and…

Man-In-The-Middle Attacks With technological advancements, there is the sparking up of new and numerous attacks, an excellent example of the man in the middle attack. This is an attack where a hacker secretly conveys and changes the communication between two parties who are directly communicating with each other. The insert gains useful information and data that compromises the operation of the two parties (Meyer, & Wetzel, 2004). There several types of man in the middle attacks, they include; MAC spoofing DNS poisoning DNS spoofing ICMP redirect In this paper, there will be a review of these attacks and the various methods which can be used to prevent and mitigate the attacks. MAC Spoofing MAC spoofing is an example of a man in the middle attack. In this attack, an intruder sniffs/snuffles a network for a valid MAC address, the intruder then attempts to act or forge as a valid MAC address. The intruders then present themselves as a default gateway and replicate all information sent to the default gateway without any detection. In other words, the intruder falsifies their identity…

Key Reasons For Opting a Private Cloud Platform Businesses today, whether large or small, are opting to go for the cloud data managing options. There are three options that any organization can use to manage its data. That is public cloud services, private cloud, and hybrid cloud services. Most companies are looking forward to getting the best cloud computing services. They, therefore, tend to go for private clouds, which has a lot of benefits that come along it. First, below is a brief explanation of what a private cloud is. What is a private cloud?. A private cloud is an IT infrastructure that is only meant to be used by a single organization. In this case, the organization is given the go-ahead to use their support. This infrastructure is hosted on their organization, but it can as well be external. It has a lot of benefits that it brings to the organization. This is why most organizations today are looking forward to using this private cloud.

Accounting information systems (AIS) Accounting information systems are based on an automated structure that has been used by businesses in order to collect, store, manage, process, and retrieve the financial related to an organization. The reporting of financial data is also the responsibility of the accounting information. The reports are generated by using AIS systems, and these reports help managers, accountants, consultants, and chief financial officers in the process of making effective decisions. The reports generated by AIS systems are also highly effective, and they are used by auditors and also tax authorities. The use of the AIS system is helping the business in achieving success by improving their working efficiency as the bookkeeping and account making process has been automated (Watson and Monod, 2014). Five fundamental principles related to AIS It is becoming an increasingly important factor for businesses to identify that what are the five basic fundamental principles related to AIS systems, which are helping the businesses to grow and using the system effectively. The five basic fundamental principles which are related to AID reliability are as follows:…

Federal Aviation Administration Federal Aviation Administration implements ground stops for numerous reasons like; regulating of air traffic flow capacity to the airports at a time when the demand expected is more than the number of aircrafts accepted to land, for a short period (Alderighi and Gaggero, 2018). This action temporarily stops traffic, giving room for the putting in place of more long-lasting solutions such as Ground Delay Program. Planes that are ready for departure are therefore held at the airports during the Ground Stops period in the airports where they are expected to land. There was an incident of Ground Stop affected by the Delta Airlines in August 2016. The Ground Stop was due to an electrical problem that occurred in their Atlanta headquarters, forcing the airline to hold back hundreds of planes all over the United States. Six hours passed before the Ground Stop was put to a stop, so many flights were cancelled, causing a huge number of travellers from travelling to their various destinations (Gupta, 2017). It was later reported that the incidence was caused by failed…

Utility of symbols in a sketch Is there any use of symbols in sketches? Well, the symbols make the task of sketching an easy one. Sketch experts are of the opinion that sketches help to design faster. Even freelancers said that by frequent use of symbols, it makes the sketching task an easy one. Now, you must be thinking of what are symbols used for? Symbols can be said to be used and reused for an element in a project keeping master symbol the same and sometimes changing it as needed by the whole sketch. Therefore, it can be said that the symbols are important elements that help to form the sketch. However, if you have to design interfaces, the symbols will play an important role in the whole design system. Importance of symbols in sketching For the beginners in sketches, symbols are made from shapes, text objects, bitmap images and other related symbols. When using any symbol, the symbol’s layer is contained within the artboard that helps to know the symbol’s boundaries. However, the lists, buttons, tabs and the…

Quality Improvement and Sustainability Q.1 Theory The implementation of quality healthcare and patient safety program is essential. Healthcare provision in hospital facilities is critical. Many factors hinder the provision of quality services and ensure patient safety is a priority. The provision of quality services further relies on the error discoveries so that the necessary precautions can be taken to correct the mistakes. Different theories explain quality health care and patient safety successful implementations such as the System Theoretical Accident Model and Process that support the successful implementation of the program. There are models such as Plan-Do-Study-Act, Lean Production System, and Six Sigma that work together to support the implementation of an application. When these models are well-strategized, the program is expected to yield its intended results. The paper will discuss the STAMP theory in detail and its support towards the implementation of the program. Then, it will further discuss a model that will be relevant in implementing a successful program while explaining the expected outcomes of the application and its sustainability. According to Leveson (2011), the use of the Systems-Theoretic…
