Blockchain – Journal

This week’s reading introduced an overview of blockchain security. Think of the sensitive data that your organization collects and handles. Would you be able to provide for the security of that data on a public blockchain? If so, what changes would you have to make to your software to support security on a public blockchain? If your organization doesn’t handle any sensitive data, describe a role that you may pursue in the future, and how that role may interact with sensitive data. Use that scenario to describe whether you would be able to provide for the security of that data on a public blockchain.

Information systems are integrated into all components of business today, but can they bring competitive advantage? Over the years, there have been many answers to this question. 

Describe some examples of information systems that have provided businesses with a competitive advantage.

Why do you think this company succeeded or failed?

How do you think the company in your example has or will continue to thrive?

Remember based on our reading, a strategic information system attempts to do one or more of the following:

  • Deliver a product or a service at a lower cost;
  • Deliver a product or service that is differentiated;
  • Help an organization focus on a specific market segment;
  • Enable innovation.

Here are some examples of information systems that fall into this category.

  • Business Process Management Systems
  • Electronic Data Interchange

IMPACT OF IT -8

 

With any invention there will be trial and error. When it comes to technology, the errors can be extremely costly, more frequent, and sometimes deadly. Software applications are so in depth, that they are almost always released with bugs. On the opposite end of the spectrum, some technology has made our lives safer and even extended our life span. Put your proverbial “critical thinking” hats on for this week.
