Study Notes
Cloud Computing
- Cloud computing delivers hosted services, such as software, storage, and web hosting, over the Internet, as an alternative to local hardware and infrastructure.
- NIST defines cloud computing as a model for enabling on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources with minimal management effort.
- Cloud computing categories include:
- Private: services and infrastructure maintained on a private network.
- Public: services and infrastructure provided by third-party cloud providers.
- Hybrid: a combination of public and private options with multiple providers.
- Government: products and solutions developed specifically for government customers' compliance and security needs.
Business Process Modeling
- A business process is a collection of activities designed to produce a well-defined goal.
- Business analysts and managers perform business process modeling (BPM) to improve efficiency and quality.
- Classic tools for BPM include:
- Flow charts
- Data flow diagrams
- Gantt charts
- Program evaluation and review technique (PERT) diagrams
- New tools are based on business process modeling notation (BPMN) and can be used to document, simulate, and improve business processes.
- SmartDraw is business process management software that enables creation of flowcharts and other process diagrams, with collaboration features and templates.
- Alternatives to SmartDraw include Lucidchart and Creately.
Web 3.0 Tools and Technologies
- Web 3.0 is the next iteration of the Web, still developing, with characteristics described in Chapter 7.
- Records and information management (RIM) programs have a symbiotic relationship with continuously evolving technology.
