Analyzing The Performance Of IT Help Desks Introduction Our company has standardized on Cisco routers, hubs and switches while at the same time giving employees the option of using their own Apple iPad and iPad2s on the internal networks. The problem is that the Cisco WRT54G Wireless Router in our work area is not connecting with the Apple iPad2 I am using, running a highly secured, Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. This is problem that forms the foundation of this analysis. Starting with the relatively simplistic and intuitively obvious solutions from the Apple Genius bar at the local Apple store to having our IT department rewrite the VPN code to support iOS, the solutions have all been creative and varied in their approach. Studies have shown that crowdsourcing expertise and technical knowledge varies significantly in terms of accuracy, acuity, clarity and value, yet all platforms and communities share the visible common attribute of encouraging shared ownership of problem identification and solution (DeSanctis, Fayard, Roach, Lu, 2003). This was immediately evident from my own experiences, as individual contributors worked hard to both solve problems and attain mastery of a given area. The motivation to attain mastery in a given area, in addition to altruism and thought leadership pervade the creation of content for IT help sites (Li, Wu, 2010). From personal experience it is clear the most experienced and knowledgeable members of these sites are also the most
Having looked at my completed assignment and checked out my summary I have concluded that there are so many ways in which I can improve the productivity of my project 1. I was not able to add the necessary contents that would make my work standout, if at all I were to present it to an audience.2.Learning to create an app using the app inventor was also quite tricky, without getting the hang of it one could find it difficult to improve the efficiency of his/her work
To make the presentation look professional and attractive, I would be using as many different types of information as possible, such as pictures, charts, sound, videos, tables and of course text and numbers.
Time is a risk for this project on several levels. 173 employees this will be affected as well as their customers. The company has agreed that this is a good move, however, if the process of setting up the equipment, managing the security and providing training goes on too long, then it will start to negatively affect the company over-all. Currently there is concern if the

When dealing with emails, you have a IMAP, a POP3 or a SMTP, protocols. First, we have a IMAP, which is similar to a POP3 because they are both used to read mails from a remote server. The IMAP is considered more advanced than a POP3. Then you have a SMTP, which is only used for sending emails. For example, if you plan to set up an email server such as hMailServer, you must know what each protocol is used for. Each protocol is considered to be a specific set of communication rules between computers. Now, we will take a closer look at each protocol specifically.
Jeannine Johnson explains some of the different feelings and emotions the speaker is feeling in the poem "Facing It" by Yusef Komunyakaa. She said, "In his poem, Komunyakaa, a recipient of the Bronz Star, recalls viewing the Vietnam Veterans memorial in Washington, D.C., and the many conflicting sensations he feels in it's presence" (pg 118). When he comes to the memorial it brings back different kinds of feelings for him. Not only is he dealing with the thoughts of war, but also of how realizing he isn't there anymore. He is feeling both comfort and discomfort while coming baxk to the wall.
In the past year, in which I have sat out from Tarleton, there were some changes that happened in my life. I quit my job that was not related to my Master’s degree and now I am working in the IT field. I am a Help Desk Analyst. I am putting to use the knowledge I acquired through the classes I have taken at Tarleton in this position. With this position, I am better equipped to pursue and complete my master’s degree. When I get reinstated back in the spring, I promise to be dedicated to my classes. I developed an action plan that I have included in this document. To begin with, I will develop a time management plan that includes at least 12 hours per week of study time. I will be able to measure how many hours per week I study throughout the
System downtime can happen in many different ways within Furchester College such a maintenance taking place or hardware errors by this, the users cannot perform routines daily, but this can be stopped by an IT Support if they follow the correct policies and procedures in the right way. If a system downtime occurs this can be harmful for the college because if the servers go down, this will result in students and teachers losing work if they have not backed up already or corruptions could occur if they were copying it. If the IT support in Furchester college need the systems to go down for maintenance, they would need permission from senior management before they do any kind of maintenance. This is so that all the staff and students will be aware that the systems are down for certain time.
One of the key elements that aided me in this, was realizing that as an I.T. professional, I am exactly that: an I.T. Professional. I may not have all of the answers up front but it is my (and yours) job to tell my employer or clients when they are making a stupid decision regarding their technology. It is my job to give them the hard facts when no one else. At the end of the day the respect that my employer, my clients, and my co-workers had for me grew exponentially.
The film and also novel that I chose is The Help. The award winning film is based during the civil rights movement where an aspiring author decides to write a book. Throughout the movie Skeeter (the writer and one of the main characters) watches the lives of black women who work for white families. She then writes a book about all of the experiences they have had and even what she saw and turned it into a book. The book was based on African American maids’ point of view on the white families they worked, and the hardships they go through on a daily basis. I chose this film because it shows an excellent example on how gender, race and class fell into place during the 1960s and how these women and some of the men were treated. Although today
The beginning of Help Desk this year has gotten off to a great start with both a new set of challenges at the school and, help desk being stronger than ever. Personally I have worked on various projects including setting up Apple TV's in classrooms, and working toward chrome carts being in the classroom.

Management is one of the most important human activities and has critical impact on life, growth, development or destruction of an organisation. In an organisation, managers with any rank or status should understand their basic duties i.e. maintaining a sustainable conductive environment where people can fulfil their commitments and objectives through collaborative approach. (Akhtar, 2011) A manager is responsible to achieve the business’s goals, visions and objectives by planning, organising, leading and controlling. Dubrin (1994) stated that in every organisation each member of staff must plan, organise, make decisions, and control the resources they need to accomplish the results expected
participants contain 5 Information Technology specialists, 6 employees, 6 researchers and senior executives, 8 educators and teachers, 2 students, 3 business managers and 2 unemployed people. Also, to reflect the geographical diversity of these online collectives, we ensured a relevant representation of the Kabyle participants living in Algeria and more than ten different countries. The first contact with the participants was made via the internet. We arranged to meet with 26 participants between January 2009, and June 2011 in Algiers, Tizi-Ouzou, Vgayet, Paris, Marseille, and Montreal. We had to interview the remaining seven participants via Skype and webcams, because of limited financial and time resources. The interviews were recorded on a digital support of 20 at 40 minutes then translated and transcribed. In addition to these three techniques of collecting data, we performed statistical calculations on the data to support certain parts of the analysis.
