operation cost. The organisations which are taken in this given report is Arden university as
this is an educational organisation which is the best university of UK. It is snow recently
expanding its branch to Germany. University of focusing on upgrading of their technology
and improving their technology and gaining competitive advantage in the market. And
among the competitors. In this report it covers discussion of big data and its role in
university. Then it includes IT security and data privacy measurements. Then there is a
discussion of cellular networks and this becomes a spreadsheet from Payroll departments.
Main body
Q1. Case study and questions
Describe in aspect big data and its character in Arden university. Prove examples of any two
department.
Big data is referring to the set of data which is so huge that normal software could not process it.
The data which is involving in the big data is too much large so that it cannot comes into the
normal software and this results in special treatment (Dwivedi, and et.al., 2020). It can be
described as the “5V” which are stands for the volume, variability, value, velocity and variety.
Let discuss this:
 Volume is standing for incredibly large.
 Variety is standing for incredibly diverse
 Velocity is standing for captured the high speed of data
 Variability is standing for huge number of factors in data sets.
 Value is referring to data sets that can create immense value for the users who are at end.

Using of these big data is mostly common in the universities to outperform their peers. In most
of the company who are the competitors could make new and enhancing strategies in order to
gain competitive advantage in the market. This big data helps the company in creating growth
and improving in their technology in effective manner. They are combining and analysing data
and industry both. Companies are having various types of data and information which is of
suppliers and customers, products and services and payments details etc as this can be captured
in a safe place (Kumar, Ram and Neeraj , 2020). As this is the benefits of big data as these are
Busines can utilise outside intelligence at the time of decisions making. Company is having
another benefit of big data that is improving customer service and improving in operational
efficiency.
The role of big data is that it helps in dynamic and customised learning programmes. This
is another role of big data is that it helps in career prediction. In context of Arden university, by
using big data, they can pull their data and information. It helps in performing analysis and
producing reports in just few of the minutes. The administrative have to be a fingertip, all of the
data and information that is helping them in making decisions and implementing various policies
a procedure. The major role of big adapt sin universities is that’s it helps in reducing time for the
mangers and professors and of the university. And this could be able to make theme help in
reports in just of the few minutes. This includes high speed and which could help them in making
quick and effective decisions. This will help the Arden university in controlling their online
reputation by sentiment analysis. It is taking feedbacks about the people and students who are
telling about the organisations in effective manner. There is a university which is to be monitor
an improve their online reputations then this big data will help them in aminating their reputation
in the market.
For example- In the context of Department of humanities, this big data is playing most
important role because this is helping professors in reframing of the course material and gaining
various types of skills and knowledge (Watson, 2021). Then another example which is taken
from athletic departments is that programmes that is big data trends is to predicts which is to be
students and they are likely to be star. Players of recruitment are providing colleges in boosting
in enrolments the following year.

Benefits of Arden university gain after adopting Big data
From the past few era of time, it has seen that, it has been helped several of the individuals
in the university. In context to the higher education, big information is playing an essential
manner in making selections and decisions. Universities that are utilising big set of the
information in respect to maximise their profits and gaining benefits in the modest market. Small
changes are that how an individual will reply and answers in the condition that can make the
huge difference in planning or making style. Big information or data might change personality
treat that are actuality charged in the university (Anniappa, and Kim, 2021). The personality test
data helps in determining performance the measures and social pointers that are utilised to
determine the manner for learning environment that are utilised to determine the learning
conditions that is going to enhance the manner of the success for the students. Teachers can
utilise this data in knowing their career courses and types of education that they can go for. In
case of Arden University, it helps in directing stipulates programmes. Arden University is
advertising an online programme by big data. They use statistical data to control that some
students that should be employed online rather than old-style campus setting. Another
advantages that can be delivers to university by big data is that it assist them with one of the
biggest issues that is of student holding. As in this university, professors are following
presentation and development of scholars in their career targets. Big data might help the
university in giving various career courses and professors that might reach to the correct manner
as before for attempting the major issues. But some of the time, it includes the manner for
providing of modified knowledge plans and other times optional changes. Big data will provides
universities a big advantage that is of ascertaining non- academic issues that make scholars want
to drop out. As these are nostalgic and lost pet or not feeling good at campus. Managers that
might work on growing of the packages that might work to enhance identifies issues that is being
drawn on the campus (Hathaliya, and Tanwar, 2020). So, from the above it is analysed that big
data might help the Arden university in enhancing the answers to learning style, profiting
targeted acceptances or maximising the retention rates. As it is said that big data might provide
advantages to help responding of the hard queries that can consequences in classifying best
answers to the issues. The other that it is available and helps in redeemable cost. As appropriate
distribution of the reserve is being essential for the government so it might help them in
maximising of the resource distribution and ascertaining the data is the key to competence.

Q2. Security and privacy
Explain the IT security and data privacy measures that an organisation must implement. Ensure
that you add the key provisions of GDPR that must be included.
It security is the secrecy or confidentiality that are related to defence and orientation of sections
that are related to managing of sources. The use of IT security are defined as the term that are
used for operating the data and will control the diverse system by having unlawful third party

and work as per their own civilisation. It is essentially related to worker’s skills and
management manner to distinguish the skills. In the chosen university they had to choose
right policies in regarding to the mail and work on methodical labours. All of these are
connected to development and subdivision of variations by the models that can work on
society to control the mails and policies that are related to loom safety.
 Data processing policies – In the chosen university, it is essential for them to make the
map and manner of the flow by their management team. Data handling policies that are
majorly that are related to major variations and applicability on the society and ensure the
development of the company (Tan, and et.al., 2020). It is further obliging in examining
the position and make significant GDPR result to make an efficient policies in the
society. It will allow the management and their interpretation for information to driven
out the plan of actions and provide important source of data to make informational
subject and make admission on the request.

different bases (Ziora, 2020) . All of these are helpful and important to work and control
the different sources to notify the staffs and student to work efficiently by antivirus
protected software’s.
Further all the data that are basically related to IT governance rules and amount that must
be used and achieve by the expert. Further the GDPR regulation said to effort and accomplish
their expert to work and achieve to educate their workers that are related to IT security issue and
events policies. In the university that are needed to control their regulation for working and make
data protection safety to comprehend the countryside (Data protection policies your organisation
must have, 2021). It is an important manner to follow the policies that related to GDPR, and
make many informative securities or phishing the data that are driven rules to secure their
verified information in an official manner.
Q3. Telecommunication and spreadsheets
Describe a cellular network, its principal components and how it works.
The manner of the cellular network is termed to the mobile network as it is the
communication network that last relation is wireless. It is termed as the network that is
distributed as over to the land areas that is called as “cells”. As there are various principal
mechanisms of cellular network that can be utilised. As these principles are public swapped
telephone networks, mobile telephone switching office and cell site antenna system and last is
mobile subscriber unit. As in the first (PSTN) it is made up of local systems and conversation
field of area network. Then MTSO is a dominant workplace of mobile swapping. The next is the

cell site as its site that is used to refer bodily site of radio gear’s that are providing attention in a
cell. As an appropriate list of the hardware that are located cell this contain of interface gear a
radio incidence and antenna system. Next principal mechanisms are Mobile subscriber elements.
As it consists of controller part that benefits in transmit and receiving radio transmissions to and
from a cell site. It involves in the following three types these are mobile telephones, portable and
transportable (Ifinedo, Rikala, and Hämäläinen, 2020). Cellular network workings with the
operator mobile telephones, when it connects through air with the improper station of antenna,
that can turn it into the dominant conversation of worker called computer. This route connects
with consistent party on other base station.
Explain the benefits of a cellular network to a business.
As there are various advantages of cellular network that it proposals high volume in a
limited range. Then it recycles of radio station in various cells. Other welfares it can be providing
to management that will allows fixed number of stations to help large amount of individuals by
recycling their station in the attention region. It also makes various advantages to the business by
providing message as between to the mobile and base station. Then another advantages is that
keep meddling levels in manageable limits. It also welfares business in each cellular base station
that is owed by the groups of radio channels that are in small graphic field of the area that are
called as cells. As it might be other welfares of cellular net is that it helps it delivers voice data
and facilities even while wandering. Then it connects secure and wireless phones users or an
individuals from each other. Then it is easy to uphold and easy to promotion all its gear’s. The
mobile and secure subscribers are linked directly with the cellular nets that is as soon as mobile
headphones are swapped that are switched on.
