information system presents a network. Big data analysis defines processes utilised
for new techniques to segregate huge and dispersed data including both structured
and unstructured information procured from varied sources in information system.
This report highlights theories and methods relating to design and
development of information technology system. It explains various information
system and describe globalisation as well as its effect on IT. It covers digital
infrastructure and assess the risks associated with information system outsourcing.
Task 1:
Theories, methods and techniques associated with design
and development of IT solutions: McAfee and MS Office
The model of technology acceptance is an information system theory which
presents how individuals come to accept and utilise technology. The existent system
use in end point where personnels use technology. It proposes the comprehend
ease of use and utility of technological attributes which determines the degree of
customer acceptance. Understanding technology acceptance will result in improved
forecasting of use of new resources of information. This model's goal is to determine
major factors of information technology along with important dimensions which can
be influenced by users (Aljawarneh and Lara Torralbo, 2021). MS Office is
composition of applications created in order to provide assistance with productivity
