Technology and Business

We all know one of the best ways to make money is to spend money. If you are a business owner, you see the Iphone, internet, and office tools as a way to make money. These tools can be useful but also costly. With my research online I have found a lot of different answer for each situation. One person put all IT related expenses on a website and gave the pros and cons.

He first discusses monitors. You wouldn't think that monitors would even come up as something to MAKE money would we? A lot of companies now are buying the 17" to 19" flat panel monitors. They are saving money in the long run. They use less heat and power, they save desk space, and just the weight of old CRT monitors could hurt strain somebody's back. He also said you could spend up to $300 per flat panel monitor. If you were a business owner how would you make that decision?

These are real world experiences that come almost every day now to businesses. These are decisions that Systems Analysis has to make on a daily basis. They could help with software choice, or hire someone to program one, to hardware, to even hiring a professional on that certain area.

I want to become a systems analysis. Where I work, I am able to help my boss on certain situations on finding a solution on cutting costs and making money. I will use this knowledge in the future.

Microsoft has come up with a program just for planning out situations. It is called visio. This program helps companies come up with business flow charts, data flow, and even brainstorming charts. These are all helpful tools to use.

In our system design book on page 184 (Systems Analysis and Design, Shelly, pg.184) we had to make a data flow chart for a shipping company. It was like coming up with a system for Amazon. It was interesting to know how the actually data is able to flow from the website to your front door.

Businesses use data now to come up with ways to make the business better. Soon every buesiness will need data flow from the internet to a walk customer. The data will always continue to flow.
