Great article, Paige! This really lays out nicely why an information system is so very important in today’s economy! For a business to compete, they really need to have a handle on all of the points – and be able to utilize the information in they system to make decisions! Nice job!

Great article abouthow unsafe we really are when it comes to shopping! We do all need to be aware that this can happen anywhere we swipe – Target, Wawa, the gas station… Is it preventable, I am not so sure – so we need to be conscientious about it. I think these breaches may lead to more use of the types of payments like PayPal or apple pay -…[Read more]

We read an interesting article on security and the apple watch last semester. It was all about how companies have to now ban watches from the office because of the potential for recording and taking pictures of secure documents. It’s interesting – I think this is a great article and really think your discussion questions should spark some good responses!

Great article about what is coming and about a big player in the IT marketspace! I think the article does a great job in giving us a picture of what Watson is capable of and what some of the pitfalls are – I liked this quote: “The large players, like IBM and Oracle, unable to adjust quickly enough to a world changing at breakneck speed, will see…[Read more]

Wow! This is pretty cool – I hadn’t heard of this yet! I am torn between whether I would use it or not – I am typically a price based shopper – but thinking about how easy it would be to just push a button is nice! I think it is innovations like this that keep amazon at the top of food chain – whether or not it is useful, they will gather a ton…[Read more]

Great article and definitely a precursor of what we can expect in the future. This is just the beginning. I do think the station could have been more vigilant to prevent such an attack, but I believe that those that intend to harm will find another way to build the mousetrap. It’s a matter of protecting as best you can and being in a position…[Read more]

Wow – I wasn’t even thinking about these issues with the AppleWatch! Companies are going to have to add another level to their privacy policies – though, if you think about it, your phone could probably do the same thing.

Great article, David! I thought this quote was telling on what is to come: ” This is essentially a cold cyberwar – we’re treating cyber-attacks like any other type of attack, and reserving our right to respond with sanctions,” I think it is high time that the laws around cybersecurity be tightened, but I agree with you and the article – it…[Read more]

Wow – I hadn’t heard of this – but I would bet Apple does have its eye on performance and analytics! “It created a way for databases to blast through staggering amounts of data at incredible speeds in a way that’s cost efficient.”

Great article, Alec – this is really a great introduction to a new wave of customer service – meet the customer anywhere they can be found – a little scary, but also crucial to a company’s customer satisfaction!

In today’s virtual reality it is incumbent on the salesperson to utilize technology to provide better service and lower prices.

I like the phrase ” Finally, if they are ready to purchase, remove all barriers to do so. Put them on a path to buy.” This is an excellent thought process – make the technology friendly and approachable – systems can do so much – it is important to make the user feel comfortable and the purchase feel right, more than anything!
