Teamwork  This week, our team has started constructing our powerpoint presentation. We have created the slides and chosen a format, and we are now in the process of deciding what information is essential, and what information can be cut in order to make the slides more concise. We have also now decided who will be taking which part of the presentation, as well as the order in which the information is going to flow best. As a team, we work quite well with making decisions that will make every member happy, and i am pleased with the work we have done thus far. Reflection In this week's lecture we looked at the use of technology and the impact it has on business models. Technology has a very big impact on businesses, because majority of businesses are dependent on technology to make a profit. Technology and IT have many benefits for businesses, such as faster, easier production, less manual labour and it also quickens the decision-making process. However, it could also...

Teamwork  This week, our team has allocated majority of our time to finding possible solutions for the problems. We have been working on it, however we have found it to be quite challenging to come up with solutions as we are dealing with such a large company with large scale problems. Many of the problems in the tobacco industry are related to the legislation of specific regions; because there may be many rules disallowing smoking in certain areas which cannot be avoided or changed. We therefore decided that adding this to our presentation would be pointless, and therefore narrowed the problems down to a final 4, so that we each have one main problem to elaborate on when we are delivering our presentation. We are making good progress, and i am enjoying completing this task with my group as i feel as though we all work at a good pace, and we get things done when we need to.  Reflection  During this weeks lecture we focused on the importance of developing presentati...

Teamwork This week, my team and i went to the JTI offices in Weybridge to interview my dad again, this time with more targeted questions which helped us a lot as we have now obtained all the information we need from the company in order to formulate our IS solutions. We also had a meeting on Monday after our classes to get an overall view on where we are with this task, as well as to incorporate the new information with the old. Overall, we had a very good, detailed discussion about this task and we are very confident that it is heading in the direction we want it to. We also decided that we are going to meet again next week Thursday to discuss which 4 problems we can create the best solutions for for this company. Reflection This week's lecture was about Cloud Computing, explaining what it is and how it works. Cloud Computing basically allows you to access all your data on any related device without having it saved on that device, in order to aid virtualization. This is...

Teamwork  This week, our team has come up with some more detailed questions which we believe will help us to get the results and information we require. We have also been focusing our attention on using the problems we have already listed and going more in depth with them in order to further explain why they are so problematic for the business. This will assist us when we are coming up with the solutions. Taking the extra time to sort out which questions would give us the answers we desire was a very good move for the team, as we feel a lot more prepared going into the interview with better questions. We are now halfway through the duration of this course, and i am really interested in the information that i have obtained so far. I also think that my team and i work very well together and we are all happy with the way that the task is going at the moment.  Reflection  In this week's lecture, we looked at crimes that are committed in information systems,and what sec...
