Explanation of Solution

Advantages and disadvantages of employees using mobile systems at work:

The advantages of the workers using mobile phone at work are as given below:

  • The use of mobile phone at work saves the cost and time.
  • It offers greater employee satisfaction because they choose the work based on their own preferences rather than organization.
  • It needs less training with more productivity because workers are already using the mobile devices for their own use.
  • It also minimizes the support costs.

The disadvantages of workers using the mobile phone at work are as given below:

  • The use of mobile phone at work station may leads to data loss or damage.
  • Organization may loss the control at the time of data which is brought from workers owned device and it also loss the control when updating the software.
  • This control loss may leads to compatibility issues.
  • These drawbacks may leads to maximize the support costs.

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device):

The increasing trend among business organizations are employee-owned devices to perform specific official tasks known as BYOD. Tablets, Smartphone and laptops are the common example of BYOD.

BYOD policy:

The BYOD policy is a statement regarding permissions and responsibilities of workers when they utilize their own mobile device for business purpose.

List of BYOD policies:

The six BYOD policies are listed below:

  • They don’t exit
  • We’ll be a coffee shop
  • We’ll offer limited systems you can access from any device
  • You’re responsible for damage
  • We’ll check it out, reload software, then manage remotely
  • If you connect it, we own it

Compare the six policies with their functionalities and organizational control:

BYOD Policy Functionality Organizational control
They don’t exit This policy does not provides any functionality This policy does not provide any control to organization. So the control is low.
We’ll be a coffee shop This policy uses wireless network to access to internet for business. This policy does not provide any control to organization. So the control is low...

I would like to get help to resolve the following case
Last Chance Securities The IT director opened the department staff meeting today by saying, "I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that management approved the payroll system project this morning. The new system will reduce clerical time and errors, improve morale in the payroll department, and avoid possible fines and penalties for noncompliance. The bad news is that the system must be installed by January 1st in order to meet new federal reporting rules, all expenses from now on must be approved in advance, the system should have a modular design if possible, and the vice president of finance would like to announce the new system in a year-end report if it is ready by mid-December." Tasks 1. Why is it important to define the project scope? How would you define the scope of the payroll project in this case? 2. Review each constraint and identify its characteristics: present versus future, internal versus exter- nal, and mandatory versus desirable. 3. What…
2. Signed Integers Unsigned binary numbers work for natural numbers, but many calculations use negative numbers as well. To deal with this, a number of different methods have been used to represent signed numbers, but we will focus on two's complement, as it is the standard solution for representing signed integers. 2.1 Two's complement • Most significant bit has a negative value, all others are positive. So, the value of an n-digit -2 two's complement number can be written as: Σ2 2¹ di 2n-1 dn • Otherwise exactly the same as unsigned integers. i=0 - • A neat trick for flipping the sign of a two's complement number: flip all the bits (0 becomes 1, or 1 becomes 0) and then add 1 to the least significant bit. • Addition is exactly the same as with an unsigned number. 2.2 Exercises For questions 1-3, answer each one for the case of a two's complement number and an unsigned number, indicating if it cannot be answered with a specific representation. 1.
