IT for Business Report: Global Information System, GIS, and Models

This report, titled "IT for Business," delves into various aspects of information technology relevant to business operations. It begins by defining and explaining the concept of a global information system, highlighting its role in data dissemination worldwide. The report then addresses conflict resolution within the context of business data, emphasizing the importance of secure data handling and compliance with regulations like GDPR and Privacy Shield. Furthermore, it explores the application of models in decision support systems, illustrating how models represent real-world systems to aid users. The report also explains sensitivity testing and its significance in identifying risks and optimizing experiments. Finally, it examines the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for scheduling classes, showcasing how GIS can assist students with easy record-keeping, providing directions, and accessing weather information for better class planning. The report concludes with a list of references used in its creation.

Global information system
Global information system is a mechanism which is developed in such a manner that can be used
in the global context. Global information is one of a kind of information system which helps to
deliver the whole amount of data all over the world related to a definite context and which can be
measured. This information system basically relates to distributed computing or systems on a
global level. This term explains many software development aspects on a global level and
outsourcing the software.
Resolving conflicts
The conflict can be resolved by handling the business data securely. Different kind of laws and
regulations can be enforced to protect the data. There are two ways in which the data can be
protected, complaining with the GDPR and privacy shield. These both approaches can be really
very beneficial. GDPR is the best way for data protection.
Models to process data in decision support system
Decision support system is based on models. Model can be termed as the representation of the
actual system. The prime role of models is to embody the features and attributes of system that
are significant to the model’s users. The elimination of the unwanted and unnecessary
characteristics which are not at all useful for their purpose are also done by the models (Williams
2 017). All the impotent characteristics of the system which are very important for the users
of models are embodied by the models. The two examples of the models are, symbiotic and
holistic.
Sensitivity test
Sensitivity test refers to the observed variation in observing the scenarios which is very major
task in order to identify the places which are severely affected by the forecasting risk. For
example while travelling; one always considers the cost of the trip and rental cars and comparing
it with the airfares (Myaccountingcourse 2018). For instance, sensitivity analysis can be used for
physics and chemistry field as well. To test the kinetic models, it is a really great tool. Another

example of sensitivity test is that it can be used for optimal designs of the experiments,
sensitivity analysis is a really great tool.
Geographic information system for scheduling classes
Geographic information system is a collection of computer software and information which can
be utilized for inspecting, analyzing and displaying geographical data (Jurovichsurveying 2018).
GIS can be used for easy record keeping and hence the students can make use of it in scheduling
classes. As GIS system GIS is the system which also allows the users in searching the data or
information about specific geographical areas and thus students will be able in accessing the data
for scheduling the classes. The below is some examples f use of GIS for students in scheduling
classes:
If the student is aware of the bad weather by making use of GIS then he or she will chose the
suitable climate by checking it on the system and thus the classes will be scheduled.
GIS system also provides directions and maps and by making use of this feature the students will
be aided in finding shortcuts and ways to reach the classes early.
