A Systematic Exploration of ERP Systems

This assignment provides a comprehensive examination of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems from multiple perspectives. It defines ERP systems as a set of business applications that connect various units within an organization using a common platform. The stakeholders' perspective emphasizes the importance of proper functioning, coordination, and planning for resource management. The document also explores the implications of ICT on the military, including the use of autonomous technology and kill chain facilities. Future trends in ICT are discussed, highlighting its potential to improve current state-of-the-art technologies.

Information And
Management System

Big Data in Developing Countries- Trends, Implications, and Challenges.
Big Data is a broad and multi- faced topic. It is a term used for extremely large data
which is very complex and is not easy to understand with the traditional data processing
application software. The trend for this technology is to describe a new generation of
technologies and architectures designed to economically extract value from a large number of
data. The implications of Big Data Analysis can understood by enabling the model of four V's
(Volume, Variety, Velocity and Value) to describe big data. The challenges faced by big
countries in describing big data are data capture and when the capture data becomes apparent or
its clearly visible. These data are appropriate only for the developed countries not for the
developing ones as they do not have proper techniques to fetch the useful information from that
large size of database.
How are SME's in Emerging Economies Using Cloud Computing- Review of the Literature
SME's can also be said as the small and medium sized enterprises. SMEs can benefit
from the creation of a new smart infrastructure to rethink at their offering and portfolio. Smart
buildings, for example, can offer strong opportunities to SMEs to launch new services and/or
work in a different way. Also, hiring good expertise for operating their new infrastructure will
be helpful for SME's. The use of Cloud Computing will remove the traditional approaches used
in manufacturing, logistics, and retail sectors. It helps in lowering the operating costs, run your
infrastructure efficiently, and can also change the scale of your business. The examples of these
SME's are the companies dealing in beauty and wellness, repair of household goods, etc.
The Challenges Faced with Diagnostic Imaging- Literature on Radiology Information Systems
and the Limitations that Need to be Overcome
According to Stephen O'Connor, Radiology Information System, it is computer based
system that helps in managing patients appointments, scheduling, and keeping track of files,
digital imaging, and the display and reporting of interpretations of images by radiologists. In
today's world, the increasing deployment of advanced imaging modalities such as CT and MRI
will continue to drive greater the demand for PACS installations is itself a challenge for
Diagnostic Imaging. This problem of lack of access to the MRI and CT can be resolved with the
help of hospitals in which this facility is available. These hospitals can invite radiologists from

other hospitals in which these facilities are not available and can give them the proper use and
knowledge of this system.
Exploring the Efficacy of E-Government Models through Information Systems Management- the
Case of Emerging Economies.
E-government Models are the websites setup by the government for delivering their
services to the employees(G2E), citizens(G2C), businesses(G2B), governments(G2G). The
exchange of informations, communication transactions can be done through e-government
models. This system is developing and has not reaches yet to everyone but it has great
significance. Taking the example of Brazil as an emerging economy, this model is used in order
to put requests, complaints, feedbacks, on the poor and incomplete services provided by the
governments. In addition to this, it can also be used for presenting the public views on their
assessment of public agencies and government services. Other services such as declaration of
income, issuance of CPF, Renovation of Voter Card are also provided by the government to
which the citizens and the governments or the companies can make use.
Data Mining and Textual Analysis in Online Purchases of Health Products in the UK
Data Mining refers to the extracting the useful information from large a number of data.
And Textual Analysis involves the study of fiction texts, it means that presenting a visual
message in own words which have a creative element in them and also affects others. Due to the
upcoming of online services of medical products, the trend of purchasing online has speeded
much over time. Consumers purchasing patterns online and in-store are very different. This
increased in trend is due to the fast services provided by them which saves the time of consumers
of going to the store and then purchasing.
The Use of Information Systems for Management of Epidemics in War-Torn Areas- a
Systematic Review.
In earlier times, there were no such facility which helps in keeping the record of
epidemics spread in some areas. This problem of keeping the records could be resolved with the
help of management systems. Some examples of management system are decision support
systems, knowledge management systems, learning management system, information and
management system. These systems are used in order to keep the records, tracking,
documentation related to some useful data which can be helpful in future. With the help of these

systems, the information about epidemics such as the number of affected people, time when it
occurred, treatment used for that epidemics can be collected and used for future reference.
Health Records Database and Inherent Security Concerns- Review of the Literature.
Health Records are the records of the patients which are kept by the hospitals for further
reference and also for improving and comparing the results of past with the future. For a person's
well being, it is also his own responsibility to take care of himself and do whatever which is
needed to be free from disease. Taking the example of a hospital, we can have the information
about any patient as they are maintaining proper records of the patients admitted to their
hospitals. In case of discrepancy, this data will help in the further reference about the issues
occurred.
A Systematic Exploration of the Definition of ERP Systems through the Stakeholders'
Perspective.
According to Beheshti, ERP(Enterprise Resource Planning) System can be defined as a
set of business applications and modules, which connects various business units of an
organisation, such as financial, accounting, manufacturing, and human resources with a common
platform. From the stakeholders perspectives, it is meant to say that for making a project
successful and keeping safe their interests, the company has to make the proper functioning of
the various units of the company. Their coordination and proper planning related to the
resources will help in achieving the stakeholders perspective.
ICT and the Military- Implications and Future Trends.
ICT stands for Information and Communication Technology. In simple words, it can be
said that it is the technology which is used to communicate and to provide information from a
person to another by mediums such as telephone lines, wireless signals, etc. The Modern
Military uses ICT to gather information and give the seniors greater information about the
situation. As a result, better decisions can be made in a fast manner and providing the orders
more effectively and clearly. As for future prospective, it will help in improving the current state
of art of autonomous technology, current kill and chain facilities.
