Ever Since The Beginning Of The Internet, Technology Has

Technology has changed drastically from the 1970s to now. We have exceeded what most people back then could ever imagine. The technology used in schools, homes, and in public places has evolved into technology that makes the “cutting edge” technology of the 70s look very simple. Things such as the personal computer, the cell phone, electronic games, TVs, and even watches have changed completely. The ways that they have exceeded expectations is truly unbelievable.

The use of an electronic diary system is also invaluable as a quick and efficient way of sharing information with colleagues This enables one to one interviews, meetings, reviews and supervisions to be pre-booked and others to have access to this information. This communication system is used very effectively within our management team; all members have an electronic diary in place via a central server and share information with others allowing the smooth running of diary entries.

SharePoint will address the challenges of (1) dealing with multiple versions of documents passing between office staff; and, (2) the difficulty of sharing and accessing information stored between the different regional offices by enabling staff to share, organize, and manage information as individuals or in teams (Office.com, 2013).

Sharing of documents between staff at various locations is currently accomplished by emailing the documents between offices, editing the document, and returning the edited version to the original sender or to additional locations. This has historically produced multiple document versions and often resulted in incorrect and outdated information being shared and utilized.

Midsouth Chamber of Commerce, a nonprofit, member driven, business advocacy group is in the processes of upgrading their current information system. Midsouth has decided they need to upgrade their information system to a more currently system, in order to increase revenue producing opportunities. Their original IS system was built by an outside consultant (who is no longer in business) on a departmental need base, rather than a company wide need. The original system was put into place in 1987, with modifications done in 1993, and 1995. During this time all IS decision were made by outside

All these systems change as new technology advances into the way we do business. Every year, increasingly, military occupational specialties will encompass information technology to enhance performance, speed, and reliability for real-time situational awareness. The military is on the cutting edge in conceiving, testing, and adapting information

The ability to gather and disseminate information has continuously increased over the years with technological advancements allowing people to share almost limitless amounts of data and near-real time rates. Yet, all information isn’t relevant information. This creates a requirement to develop tools, systems, and processes to compile relevant data into information. The people and processes place information into a factual and meaningful context that creates knowledge. In order for the people properly share knowledge with each other efficiently, there must be a Knowledge Management Program. In this paper, I will cover how the 3rd Infantry Division manages knowledge to support mission command, and the conclusion of interviews of key personnel involved in the knowledge management within the 3rd Infantry Division.

2) In terms of success, what impact has centralization/decentralization of information had on the Army Reserves?

Fortunately, the U.S. Army, in conjunction with the Department of Defense, have devised plans to ensure the United States’ leadership role is unchallenged. When implemented the Joint Information Environment will be able to support combatant commanders, with the ability access relevant information quickly, through a shared infrastructure which host integrated application systems (Joint Chief of Staff, 2013). The ability to share data across

Network fusion takes advantage of networking technology to connect agencies and share information using video, voice, and data communications. Networking in this manner allows multiple systems to be linked and information to be transmitted in multiple directions. More agencies can be connected using network fusion to enhance fusion centers and information can be exchanged quickly (Pfeifer, pg

EDM allows for the management of diverse types of document storage in an organization using collaboration software and storage ("IBM FileNet", n.d.). Each line of business has diverse business processes and procedures for storing and retrieving their internal documents. Each document that is loaded in the EDM system, IBM FileNet, is stored with particular metadata and retention record information. Choice lists are maintained to aid the user with data integrity and consistency. Furthermore, the document owners can request their file to be content-based retrieval enabled. This allows for keyword searches within the application to find documents based on keywords, not just metadata captured during the original load or check-in of the

To further describe this vexing problem, one must understand that soldiers often use multiple devices and various operating systems. Additionally, the expectation that the soldier is “never really off duty” (Bryan, 2014, p. 1), is set by the military’s highest enlisted leaders. This means soldiers must exchange information at home, at work, and even in their cars. This

Navy/Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) program was basically designed for replacing the dozens of the Navy as well as Marine Corporation’s computer networks into a centralized managed setup through a single conductor. The main objective was to make an intranet that is secure, centralized, as well as foster universal access to integrated data, voice, and video communication; removal of any kind of network impediments; increase productivity, and elimination of interoperability issues. For the purpose, contract based on performance was signed with Electronic Data Systems Corporation (EDS). The initial cost of the project was estimated at $6.9 billion. The NMCI project performance was not as expected as it was found that NMCI has met only 3 of the pre-defined 20 performance targets. To get insight into the reasons of

Military operations require a wide range of information to be disseminated to achieve mission success. Users at all levels must have access to the right information when it is needed to be effective in both garrison and combat operations. In order to maximize the flow of information, the military uses different platforms to ensure proper distribution. Internal platforms of communication are primarily used to ensure adequate, discreet, and expeditious access to required information while ensuring receipt only to its intended audience. External communication platforms have a much broader use and have less restricted access requirements. Internal and external communication platforms work best when utilized together to develop lessons learned

E-mail will allow project teams to send and receive written, audio, and video files. Regular communication will be executed using this method in the case of geographically dispersed project teams.
