electronic sensors linked to computers to
monitor chemical processes continually and
make instant (real-time) adjustments that
control the refinery process.
 Manufacturing and production systems deal with

and how the provider is supposed to keep it --
which is an important concern in law
enforcement.
 Debate also persists about whether companies
are better off letting their staff manage the data
or dealing with a cloud vendor who is specially
certified in security protocols affecting the
medium.

querying it using one or more specific
criteria.
 A data warehouse contains all of the data in
whatever form that an organization needs.
 Databases and data warehouses have
assumed even greater importance in
information systems with the emergence of
“big data,” a term for the truly massive
amounts of data that can be collected and
analyzed

 Improve Responsiveness
 Increase Collaboration
 Enhance Customer Insight
 Introduce New Business Models
 Cloud computing enables organizations to
rent additional IT resources during the
development project on a pay-as-you-go
basis, rather than investing in fixed
resources.
 Cloud computing enables organizations to
scale up their IT resources quickly in
response to changing market conditions.
 Organizations that offer products and
services online may find it difficult to handle
a surge in traffic, which could result in lost
business.
 Adding resources from the cloud provides a
strategic advantage by enabling them to
respond to changes in demand, increase
revenue and maintain customer satisfaction.
 IT solutions that improve collaboration in an
organization can provide an important
competitive advantage. Issuing field service
teams with smartphones, for example, enables
service engineers to provide a faster, more
efficient service to customers.
 Engineers working on a customer site can set up
voice or video conference calls with product or
technical experts at headquarters to discuss and
resolve a complex issue, rather than delaying a
repair.
 Offering customer superior service provides a
strategic advantage by differentiating an
organization from competitors.
 Collecting and analyzing data to gain
greater insight into customers’ needs and
preferences provides a strategic advantage.
By using powerful analytics software,
organizations can develop customized
offers and personalized communications
that help to increase customer satisfaction
and foster loyalty.
 Organizations can use IT to make strategic
changes to their business models.
 A company that traditionally sold products
through retail outlets might use IT to
develop an e-commerce model that enables
it to reach a wider market, reduce its
distribution costs and offer a more
convenient service to customers.
