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.

The pigeonhole principle is a simple but powerful concept that is used in tackling combinatorial mathematics problems in a systematic manner. In simple terms, the principle states that if some objects need to be placed in boxes that are lesser in number than the objects, then at least one box will have two objects. The concept was formulated in 1834 by a German mathematician named Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet. In his original publication, Dirichlet used a German word that meant drawer in English (Brualdi, 2008). The word soon changed to pigeonhole that is an open space on a wall ...

Introduction

In more ways than one, the conceptualized constructs demarcating the means by which money exchange takes place within the contemporary world economy are profuse than they might actually appear. The ideology of a contemporary capitalism culture can be split two ways; the thinking of a financializer versus that of a technologist. This paper will take on a triangulation approach at trying to deconstruct the ideals of contemporary capitalism. By cross-referencing different theorizations, the two loudly acclaimed arrangements of abstraction – financialization and technological abstraction – shall be extrapolated and used to establish the actual stand concerning the doctrine of capitalism today.

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 ...

Many of the economics books inform us that perfect competition is better than uncompetitive markets because it enables the markets to use the resources efficiently. In the perfect competition markets, producers give importance to decrease costs and increase the quality of products because the market price is given and their profits are limited with this given price while, in the uncompetitive markets, the companies play a game to maximize their profits theoretically. Monopoly is the worst version of the uncompetitive market because there is one dominant company in a market and the entry to the market is not possible. ...

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. This is because the attackers have become very opportunistic and look for any slight loophole that will enable them to bypass the server securities within the cloud computing environment. It is thus important to come up with a systematic approach that can help in identifying the vulnerabilities ...

Digital image analysis is a method of extraction of useful information from digital images by using various digital image processing techniques. A digital image is a two-dimensional matrix that consists of great number of smallest addressable elements – pixels. Each pixel has its own digital characteristics, such as address and color representation. Digital image characteristics have two main measures: spatial resolution that is focused on capturing details and tonal resolution that is used to measure color, dynamic range and bit-depth. Higher tonal, spatial, and color values mean larger sizes of digital image file. (Peterson, 2005, pp. 1-2) The appropriate method ...

Moreover, aspects such as pricing and suitability in different work environments will be considered since each organization is expected to have its advantages and disadvantages. Extensive research from the literature will be conducted to ensure that a clear ...

At some point, project managers are asked for estimates on cost and time to completion. In order to provide reasonable estimates, information on the project is used in conjunction with estimating tools. The length of time it will take to complete a project might use parametric estimating. Mathematical formulas employ quantitatively based durations to determine the quantity of work to be completed. The tool also uses statistical modeling to produce cost estimates with historical data for various parameters (Phillips, 2014, p. 226). Analogous estimating also uses historical data from similar projects to provide cost estimates (p. 225). Adjustments are ...

Abstract

Computational complexity was introduced and developed by Hartmanis and Stearns in order to provide methods in measuring the degree of complexity or difficulty of computational problems or functions as well as to measure the efficiency of algorithms. It was developed through understanding of numerous complex problems and analysis of the issues within these problems. The history of the subject of computational history started with the theoretical computational model or a machine developed by Alan Turing in during the 1930s. In his paper, he convinced the scientific community that developing an effective algorithm is possible. The Turing machine paved way ...

The delay problems arose from the failing of the software. A system that worked well with one team or one project could easily fall when used on a different team. The waterfall approach was also to blame for the delay problems. The system relied on the mass launch rather than a sequential launch of the software (Bright pg 2). Why has the Waterfall Method "stuck around"? i.e. why is it still in use? The Waterfall method has stuck around since waterfall method mostly offers the stepwise approach to any problem. It shows the developers the steps and the ...
