Introduction BuildingDNA, a start-up company which provides online digital maps for both commercial buildings and real estate companies, has coordinated with this group to examine the current information systems and technology architecture and determine if it is able to sufficiently support its business objective of producing and servicing 3,000 maps per month. This study is based on the current information provided by BuildingDNA, wherein the hypothesis is that the current structure of the organization is unable to meet this goal and should be revamped. Project Scope The information assurance guidelines will address any system utilized by BuildingDNA that stores, transmits, receives, or manipulates data, specifically the data which …show more content…
Although BuildingDNA is currently producing digital maps, their current information technology architecture is unable to meet the 3000 maps per month goal. In order to be able to achieve this goal, BuildingDNA most develop the capacity in order to minimize idle and unused resources, and meet their contractual obligations in a timely manner. As identified by BuildingDNA executives, there are four components to this challenge that must be addressed, which are the following: Paremeter-izing new contracts; identifying and acquiring capacity of skilled man-hours; managing the fulfillment of each contract to meet expectations; and analysis and evaluate production outcomes versus standards for future contracts and the continuous improvement of the production process. Problem Causes The root cause of the challenge addressed above, is the lack of resources. These resources can be thought of as the proper Enterprise Resource Planning and Workforce Management software, qualified personnel, and the creation and implementation of organizational policies, to include information assurance, teleworking, and business operations. All of these resources share a common denominator, which is funding. A well-funded organization generally have the ability to implement specific software and create qualified personnel in order to perform their operational assignments in timely and effective manners. Funding also ensure the
The use of Information technology in business is considered as a path for successes. Also, with the
The second problem that was found is that of the inventory. There is a distinct lack of a physical inventory of all the assets of Clinica Tepecia. This inventory includes the normal assets of the organization, but also the assets of their employees. The employees bring to the table the knowledge they possess. This knowledge includes all past experiences and training they may have had at other organizations and schools. The IT staff is the focus point of this part of the inventory. A starting place would be copies of their resumes, formal assessments and inter-personnel conversations. From these the new IT manager can learn quickly what experiences his
Unit 5004 - Resource management Introduction This unit is about being able to identify the different types of resources available to managers, select and plan for their use, and monitor and review their effectiveness in the pursuit of organisational objectives. Scenario Learners may use their own employment context, or that of another organisation with which they are very familiar, to base their assignment. However, in the case that they are not able to do so, please use the below scenario- If you will be using a scenario please select and research an organisation of your choice and identify a department within the organisation. Imagine you manage 6 staff within the department and have a range of human, physical and financial resources
Using resources effectively is very important for the business as well as helping maintaining staff safety, stock management, minimising
Staff, Technology and Physical resources all need to be looked after so that they perform to their best.
Engaging, developing, and managing the MF&L workforce is first priority as the complexity of managing operations intensifies with expansion. The workforce must be well educated on SOPs, enabled with the resources to successful complete all requirements, and monitored to ensure quality. Given the geographic and demographic diversity of their locations, customization of the training modules must be enabled to facilitate responsiveness to customer needs through the empowerment of leadership, without violating consistency. Current IT solutions available to Madura lacked sufficient consistency and coverage capabilities and were ineffective in managing remote programs. Very few solutions were able to assist in SOP training compliance monitoring. These solutions also hindered Madura’s ability to innovate and adapt to changes in their company’s process, which in turn delayed access to pertinent business information resulting in ineffectiveness. Venkatagiri and Prakash state, “…large-scale IT systems were found to be rigid on the strategic front. ERP systems were criticized for prescribing business processes, rather than accommodating them”(2013).
Resources plays in the implementation of that strategy. Particular attention is paid to the hiring
Major obstacles to the success of the project stem from cultural differences for those utilizing the system, the size of the project for IT undertaking, and HR role definitions. Cultural differences can present issues seeing as this company spans multiple countries. What may be acceptable in one, may not be as accepted in another which could halt successful adoption. IT undertaking of the large project may introduce difficulties in making a working system which is key to the success of this project. HR roles will change and the definition of the jobs may affect how the HR system functions after system implementation.
Lack of resources: resources might include financial resources, manpower, training, facility resources and/or management support. Introducing a quality improvement program will depend on all or some of the resource mentioned and the success of the program will depend the organization ability to provide required
Information Security Performance Evaluation Program: BuildingDNA should develop, monitor, and report on the results of information security measures of performance. These reports should be used by leadership to effectively manage their systems security life cycle and replace information systems that do not meet the security levels needed to provide a safe and secured environment.
Concerning the Board of Representatives, Board of Employees, and Human Resources, these teams will need to work in tandem to be effective. These three teams should be making decisions together, and rapidly implementing the unanimous decision. These decisions should focus on the long-term picture, not the short-term picture, even if sacrifices will need to be made. The Board of Representatives should constantly be watching with their own eyes to ensure production is being carried out in a proper manner. The Board of Employees should be concerned with making employee tasks standardized, and work to continuously improve the level of standardization. With standardized tasks and work evenly spread across employees, employees will feel empowered to succeed. To avoid wasting time and resources, the focus should be on building quality first, rather than worrying about fixing problems later. Your company should only be using reliable, thoroughly tested technology that serves your people and processes. You should also provide visual controls so no problems are hidden. Remember, quality is “key”.
There needs to be enough knowledge and expertise in the organisation to be able to resolve the issue
How are information assurance policies developed within the title insurance industry? While each organization can choose to follow its own path, there is an established set of best practices available. These best practices are available from the American Land Title Association, and they address most of the issues that are related to information assurance in the industry, but do these practices completely cover all of the necessary areas of information assurance or are there weaknesses that need to be overcome? How can these best practices be improved and how would the improvements alter the daily function of the industry? Are there any barriers in place that may cause difficulty in implementing new procedures? All of these
“Throughout every step of this technology implementation, the business thought about the “people” aspects of the project before the IT aspects: What kind of people should be on its project team?” “What are the business and cultural requirements of its HR users?” “What consultants should it bring on for
Information assurance (IA) is a vital element for the management of the information systems for all organization (Willett, 2008). The systematic plan for HME will begin with the development of a comprehensive information assurance plan that addresses the main issues from a fundamental approach to the basic implementation of the core principles. First, HME must understand the main areas of concern from an assurance standpoint (Willett, 2008).
