Study Notes
Computer Systems and Networks
- A group of two or more linked computer systems that share data and information is known as a network.
Information Systems
- Management information system (MIS) encompasses methods and equipment for providing information regarding all aspects of a firm's operations.
Enterprise Portals
- Enterprise portals enhance communication with customers, suppliers, and distributors and integrate various systems and information sources, offering comprehensive benefits.
Wide Area Networks (WANs)
- Examples of WANs include extranets and intranets, which extend connectivity over larger geographical areas.
Data Management in Organizations
- The U.S. Army maintains equipment acquisition history data in a data mart, covering the entire lifecycle from requirement approval to equipment retirement.
Intranets Security
- Intranets function as internal networks protected by a firewall, creating a secure environment for organizational communication.
Software Licensing
- Software piracy is tackled by implementing registration limitations on software usage, reducing unauthorized access.
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
- VPNs connect private networks through a public network, facilitating secure communications without requiring heavy infrastructure investments.
Application Services
- Application service providers typically offer enterprise applications, collaborative applications, and personal use applications as primary service categories.
Data Processing Techniques
- Batch processing involves collecting data over time and processing it simultaneously, contrasting with on-line processing methods.
