Introduction

As the manager of an IT company experiencing a merger or acquisition, it is the perfect opportunity to reevaluate, or improve the situation because the customers would normally expect the worst if they are unaware of the process. “A great deal of the mergers fails to deliver the promised improvements which were previously specified and it interferes with the shareholder value. This may happen to be the result of knowing that merger or acquisition decisions are inherent tradeoffs” (McLelland, Goldsmith, & McMahon, 2014). Companies tend to focus more on the aspects of reducing their overall operational costs or worrying about ...

Introduction

3D printing takes a representation of an object in a digital file and uses a process that lays consecutive layers of material to develop a tangible three-dimensional replica of the object. This process used in creating the solid object is known as additive manufacturing (Munoz and Guenther, 2014). The 3D printing technology has given rise to a new type of prototyping known as rapid prototyping. Manufacturers have been the biggest gainers of rapid prototyping because the process allows them to quickly create and change prototypes.

Abstract

I believe that the integration of digital technology in designs is very necessary and cannot be avoided. This is because of its extensive effects on architecture and its general ambiguity. This paper, I believe, will make it possible for individuals and institutions to analyze and decide appropriately on the use of digital prefabrication, as a new technology in the design systems. Although many opinions have been presented with different position statements, the immediacy of proactive consideration on the digital systems is of utmost importance. In this paper, I have explored the relationship between CAD and CAM, computer and production.

1. How will Cloud Computing change the traditional IT infrastructure?

Shifting to a cloud computing infrastructure requires careful consideration as it does not only affect the hardware and software needs and infrastructure of the organization, but it may also cause changes in internal IT processes and vendor relationships (Mark C., 2012). For example, this would reduce or change the responsibilities and tasks of the IT staff. Organizations with a strict regulatory-driven environment, such as insurance companies and banks, would also need to have a concrete and thorough plan when migrating to a cloud-based system in order to ensure the security of the organization’s data and to ensure the organization’s ability ...

Abstract Relational Database Systems (RDBMS) are the most popular database systems today. The relational model of database management emerged from a dynamic database model called DataBase Management System (DBMS). Dbase and FoxPro were the popular DBMS in the 1970’s and 1980’s. RDBMS emerged in the 1990’s. Though RDBMS is a popular form of database management, few appreciate its true potential. Modern applications that allow multiple devices to access and manipulate data are overshadowing RDBMS. NoSQL models such as Hadoop and MapReduce allow document processing which is a feature that the relational model lacks. An in-depth understanding of the ...
