Introduction

A paperless office is a condition where the application of paper is entirely eradicated or highly abridged. The process is accomplished by transforming documents and other papers into a digital system. Moving to paperless office could save money, space, enhance output, create documentation and ease info sharing, and preserve private data (Zandieh et al., 2008). A paperless office would have a single-source assortment area for dispersed database updates and publish-subscribe structure (Zandieh et al., 2008). This work outlines how paperless would be attained and the benefits behind it.

IBM Case Analysis

In order to determine the competitive advantage of the IMB corporation (if such in fact exists), it would be reasonable to apply a matrix developed by the Boston Consulting Group. Although originally it was aimed at describing a life cycle of a particular product, it is also applicable to the companies, in general (Proctor, 75). Companies entering the market may be defined as question marks, as their market share at the beginning is low, and the market growth rate is inessential. If the company develops products and services required by consumers, both the market share and ...

Quality Assessment

Scanning technology (3D laser scanner technique) measures the dimension of a precast concrete panel using extraction algorithms to measure boundary points with a compensation model to increase measurement accuracy (Kim et al., 2013). 3D laser scanning converts CAD models into BIM, which identifies scanned objects by ensuring precision for rebar mapping before actual drilling as well as rebar detailing for installing rebar cages (Hajian & Brandow, 2012). Before shipping precast concrete elements, dimensional quality assurance (DQA) is carried out to ensure that there are no dimensional defects using a scanner in an automated process that saves time and labor input ( ...

ABSTRACT

Cloud computing employs the use of parallel and highly computed processors to virtually and remotely deliver services. This is an important factor forenterprises whose processing resources are limited and who suffer limitations on the manpower and data storage. This notwithstanding, cloud computing faces a serious threat in the area of data security.
