The United States Air Force manages a global network supporting over eight hundred thousand users (Gibson & Fair, n.d.). Administering a network on that scale requires an organized approach to providing IT services to a vast customer base. Information Technology (IT) Service Management is the framework and imbedded processes by which an IT organization both manages the services it provides and delivers those services to customers (Drogseth, 2015). The Air Force utilizes the Remedy system to automate Service Management functions for its enterprise network. Remedy provides the various system users with multiple features to streamline and optimize their respective Service Management functions to include the Network Help Desk (United States, 2014).

US Citizenship and Immigration Services are in the midst of an unprecedented shift in technology where end-user and mission demands are fast exceeding IT’s capacity to fulfill them. The office of the CIO needs to deploy an enterprise wide architecture to meet the demanding agency needs.

The world we live in today is more complicated, competitive and technologically advanced, and there is always a demand for resource and if the existing resources are not utilized properly it leads to poor results. Technology is a component that can be used for the productive use of resources. But employees in the organization often resist adapting to technology. Introducing new technology and tools into an organization can increase productivity, boost sales, and help you make better, quicker decisions however getting every employee adjust to the change in technology is often a challenge. Organization very constantly face the challenge of adapting themselves to the technology and it depends on its employees to overcome the change and employees need the stimulation to adapt to the change and this reminds me of a famous quote “You can't build an adaptable organization without adaptable people--and individuals change only when they have to, or when they want to” (Gary Hamel). As per Gary Hamel individuals only change when they have to’ or when they want to and Motivation is a factor that can drive individuals to change or adapt to technology. Motivation is the key ingredient to bring about a change in the employees which can lead to the success of an organization. Organizations even though they have all the technical skills, will not be successful if they are not able to motivate their team to take up change. The manager or leader or the organization should have the skill to

Infrastructure decisions related to consumerization are becoming increasingly difficult as there are few vendors that provide a complete stack of services that are integrated across the CIO’s need for security, support, functionality, and management of the environment. What makes this even more difficult is the fact that there is very little standardization across consumerization-type technologies (Harteveld, 2012). This leads to a varied “stack” of technologies that CIOs must knit together seamlessly to provide a functional and secure user experience that does not hinder the users’ productivity.

In my current position, as the deputy director for the Office of Organizational Policy and Governance, within the office of Chief Information Officer, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), I.... The USPTO consists of 15K employees and 3 billion annual budget. The CIO office is a 700 million dollar IT operations with over 1000 personnel that consists of a mix of 500 federal and 500 contractors. USPTO is one a very few federal agencies that develops its own applications in house and spends roughly 230 million a year in application development. One of my major objectives as the deputy is facilitating the movement towards a cloud architecture by advancing the associated underlying infrastructure to support the implementation and configuration. Currently the USPTO cloud computing services is recognized as state-of-the-art within the federal government and industry. Specifically, the USPTO has adopted the strategy to use Red

You are the network manager of a company that has grown from 10 employees to 100 employees in 12 months. Year 2 projected growth is estimated to be 100 additional employees located at a remote location. The aggressive growth has brought about some unique challenges and opportunities. The company has one remote warehouse and no off-site disaster recovery services or servers. The network design remains a non-redundant, flat topology.

The successful company's activities (management) are related to collection, storage, and analysis and interpreting data. The purpose of data collection is to get hold of information and to continuously record and to make decisions on key issues. Data collection is the storage of data and prepare for the future process. Moreover, every piece information is a valuable resource in business, such as cost of production, share prices and exchange rates, company reports and market research. The information (data) is mostly collected about their own organisations to analyse themselves and given to other companies to analyse it. Also, the up to date and accurate information (progress of the business) helps to managers and employees involved in making decisions. There are two types of data that usually used in businesses, the quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative data is a business or financial analysis, performance that aims to understand behaviour by using complex mathematical and statistical modelling, measurement, research and display the results, using the charts, histograms, tables and graphs. Quantitative analysis can be done for a variety of reasons, such as the measurement, performance estimation and calculation of the number of financial instruments (earnings per share, popular product, cash flow and costs). Moreover, surveys and the use of government publications are common methods of collecting quantitative data. For example. Tesco has the

Next point that I feel needs to be evaluated is “Get to the market first.” Being the first one to adopt and apply new information technologies can bring the biggest positive effect to a company. Bill Gates states that, whoever is first to use digital information to operate business, has a great chance of putting company ahead of its competitors.

The added IT solutions will help in improving company’s scalability. Using these solutions, in a long run, will help the company in expanding its customer base and its reach across the country.
