Project for MIS3502. Students were required to make an application made for Marka. The goal of the project was to digitize the process of purchasing beach tags. This application allows users to purchase and display beach tags from their phone/web browser.

Professional Achievement Points

Students in MIS3502 teams who consistently meet expectations and deliver an excellent project solution at the end of the semester will receive 50 professional achievement points each.  Students in MIS3502 teams who meet consistently meet expectations and deliver a satisfactory project solution at the end of the semester will receive 25 points each.  Teams who fail to make satisfactory progress throughout the semester, and/or who do not create a working final solution will receive 0 points.

You can receive 50 professional achievement points if you also complete steps 5 and 6 as described here.

For this project, we had to create a website for the client and provide the dashboard with a place for customers to put in their information and look up other renters and landlords. The website my team created is located here: http://misdemo.temple.edu/spring109/RentZen/.

Social media/network analytics is the technique of collecting data from social media websites and blogs, using the analysis to make business decisions.  This process is more thorough than “the usual monitoring or a basic analysis of retweets or ‘likes’” ( “What Are…”), as it turns the data into useful information to “develop an in-depth idea of the social consumer” (“What Are…”).  Before starting the process, it is important to “determine which business goals, [such as getting product and services feedback or improving public opinion] the data that is gathered and analyzed will benefit.” (Rouse).  Then, key performance indicators (KPIs) need to be identified in order to objectively evaluate the analysis.

Doing social network analytics allows businesses to see who their follower presence really is, what their feelings about the company are, and even if consumers will like an upcoming product or service.  It can even involve sentiment analytics, which uses “sophisticated natural-language-processing machine learning algorithms parsing the text in a person’s social media post about a company to understand the meaning behind that person’s statement” (Rouse) and even provide a score with the analysis.  Social media analytics is increasingly more important for companies to do because there is tons of information to be found in social media data.  It also can help save money in the long run.  Rouse comments in her article that “In decades past, enterprises paid market research companies to poll consumers and conduct focus groups to get the kind of information that consumers now willingly post to public social media platforms”.

In MIS 2502, we learn about unstructured data being that initial, raw data before it is transformed into knowledge.  This unstructured data is what is gathered by the analytics tool; it is the data found in blog posts, Facebook posts, tweets, etc..  We also learned how to use the open source platform, R, and this platform can actually serve as one of many social media analytics tools (Rouse).  Additionally, when learning about relational data modeling, we learned about the cardinalities one-to-one and one-to-many, which define the rules of association between entities.  One advantage for companies to do social media analytics, according to Techopedia’s article, is that it enables them to “execute focused engagements like one-to-one and one-to-many”.  With all the information learned in MIS 2502, students are equipped with enough understanding in the various topics to give a successful try at social media analytics.

The project was to use the programming languages php, sql, and pdo to form a website for a client. It provided a way for customers to get quotes and an option to accept the offer. Employees had the ability to login and view a report and update status of orders.
