    Patrick R. Destefano commented on the post, Race against the machines hits the local paper, on the site Information Systems Integration 3 months, 1 week ago

    Technology is changing the world faster than any of us even truly realize. We are getting into the realm of, dare I say, “The Terminator” and machines taking over the world. Technology is allowing us to build […]

    Patrick R. Destefano commented on the post, Why entrepreneurs innovate better than managers, on the site Information Systems Integration 3 months, 1 week ago

    This article really makes me question why it is that managers generally do not use the right side of the brain. I am by no means an expert in the field of neuroscience, however I do have 5 years of management […]

    Patrick R. Destefano commented on the post, Project ideas, on the site Information Systems Integration 3 months, 1 week ago

    It’s amazing that this has only been starting to happen in very recent years. It always seems that the U.S. government is always so far behind when it comes to technology compared to the private sector.

    Patrick R. Destefano commented on the post, The Internet of things, on the site Information Systems Integration 3 months, 1 week ago

    Patrick R. Destefano commented on the post, So how did it go?, on the site Industry Experience in MIS-SUM12 9 months, 1 week ago

    I have learned so much about the corporate world. The hard part about getting in with a company is getting your foot in the door. Once you are in, if you are personable and get along well with others, and have […]

    Patrick R. Destefano commented on the post, Classroom Knowledge…., on the site Industry Experience in MIS-SUM12 9 months, 3 weeks ago

    Patrick R. Destefano commented on the post, What is the most important…………?, on the site Industry Experience in MIS-SUM12 10 months, 1 week ago

    I would say the most important skill/characteristic to have at JPMorgan is a good attitude and willingness to learn. Most of the programs I use just deal with Microsoft office. I did however absolutely have to […]

    Patrick R. Destefano commented on the post, Discussion Question #2, on the site Industry Experience in MIS-SUM12 11 months ago

    I would probably have to say how laid back and easy going things are. Everyone on my team at JPMC knows what has to get done and they are responsible about getting work done, but at the same time, everyone is […]

    Michael,

    My father has worked there for about 25 years. He works in Quality Assurance, I believe. I’m sure he knows a lot of people and how a lot of different things work on the base. I used to live […]

    Using the MVC pattern, I was able to break down the coding and better understand what each piece does and how to use it in the future. The controller handled the input HTTP and the user actions and sent that […]

    Coding should definitely be part of the MIS program. Knowing how to code can help us out in the long run. That being said, I do believe that the MIS department is not going about it the right way. I believe […]
