7.1 IS Security

While creating a business the owner should always be aware of their information system security. They should also know that when they build things or create things they should always prepare for a threat. The movie theater Commonwealth 10 is well prepared, but here is a list of our company 5 most threats to imformation system security. The first one consist of natural disasters. Their is nothing we can do about mother nature, but the most common disaster we go through is power outages and we have to always have back up files so our business can keep on running. The second disaster is outsiders and intruders. Due to the fact that our business is so large in nature and sometimes employees make mistakes, but we try to keep all of our private documents and data secured so we require for when to log off when ever they sign in and to never share their username and password with anybody so we can prevent this. The third disaster consist of email attachments with virsus. Since we open our web site to the public sometimes customers attach virsuses on the website or in a blog so Commonwelath 10 clears all saved memory on the websites twice a day and also every two weeks we have a mandatory virsus scan. The fourth disaster is links to business associates. In order to run our business we have to buy our products from different companies. So we set up a secure plan with our business partner not to share any of our private information with them. Meaning no one shares their private and public keys with anybody else. Lastly, the fifth disaster that can occur in Commonwealth 10 is  our employees or consultants  slipping up. We must make sure that our employees understand the importance and security of our private key so they will never share them with anybody else so we can continue with our encryption message to one employer to another. If Commonwealth 10 acknowledge and perform all of these rules then our company will be safe and secure with no worries in hand.

4.2 Packet Switching Technology

Packet Switching Technology is the process of breaking information into small chunks called data packets and the managing the transfer of those packets from computer to computer via the internet. This picture can illustrate different companies. Company server A is trying to send a data packet to their client Company server C. In order to do so the TCP breaks down the information and manages thr transfer. The IP defines how a packet must be formed to where a router (device used to connect 2 networks) must foward each packet. Each data packet also has their own IP datagram or specifications that gets sends to their own unique IP address. Lastly, the packets get send down a wire that is connected to several users, this is called concurrent data transmission.

4.1 IFS H/W Infrastructure

 The graph to the left is generally depicting how computer systems manage their informion through systems infrastructure. In order  to completely run this system succesfully their are some necessities that are needed. In order to type any information on your computer requires a keyboard or your can use a scanner to input information; those devices are called Input Technologies. In order to view what your typing you have to look at a monitor which is classified as an output technologies. Another requirment process that is needed in order for your system to run is Proccessing Technologies. It alters the information just entered into outputs, which is completed by the CPU. Within the CPU lies the the system unit which houses all of the componets such as the control unit. The alterization of letters change into a binary code that is called machine language that only the computer can read. We characterized them as bits and bytes and also ASCII(Amerian Standard Code for Information Interchange). There are 8bits in 1byte. All of this is being completed by the ALU(Arithmetic logic unit) which performs the math and logical operations.








Input Technologies, Processing Technologies, Output Technologies, Machine language, bits, bytes, and ASCII, CPU, ALU, System Unit, and Control Unit.

1.3 Movie theater



This organizational chart represents the hierarchy of the personnel in Commonwealth 10 Movie Theater. At the top of the chart is the Chief Information Officer (CIO) who oversees the strategic planning of the organization. Below the CIO are three departments responsible for the functions of the theater and headed by a manager.

The Support department job is to handle all of the functions needed for the rest of the departments to do their jobs. We have a database administrator who oversees the business part of the prices and the amount of tickets sales the theater sales.

The Development department handles all new projects for creating new ideas that the theater can consider doing. The Mangers and the directors oversee all of the employees and make sure they are doing their job correctly and keeping the customers happy.  The ticket men are in charge of selling movie tickets and the concession men are in charge of selling food and drinks to the customers.

The Maintenance department job is to keep all theaters and bathrooms clean. Inside of the theaters after every movie they should sweep and vacuum every aisle in the theater. Lastly, inside of the bathroom customers normally go to use them directly after the movie is over, so while the movie is playing every stall should be cleaned spotless.

Choice of 3-5 most important job functions:

If I were to pick three of the most important job functions, I would have to choose the CIO, the ticket and concession men, and the managers and directors. The CIO would manage all operations. The CIO should also be up to knowledge with everything that goes on inside the theater. The ticket and concession men are the employees who keep the business running and making its profits. Lastly, the managers keep the ticket and concession men in check just in case they start to slack off or aren’t doing their job correctly.

3.1 Value Chain Analysis




The purpose of the value chain analysis of the Commonwealth 10 movie theater is to help explain step how our theater operates. We created and designed it on gliffy.com.  Our goal was to have a competitive advantage over many theaters being that we sell our tickets online. Our business process is to make our customers happy by implementing the electronic commerce system by selling tickets online which guarantees every customer an available seat in their desired movie. Commonwealth 10 also invented the automating ticket box, which help our customer move swiftly and smoothly through the line if they plan to pay by credit or debit card. 

3.2 Sell your Idea

Implementing a business based off of fear, faith and faith limits most of the arguments that the business managers mostly deals with. Faith has to deal with believing in your business and that other competition won’t bankrupt your business. Fear is being scared to try something new because your business to succeed. Lastly, Fact deals with in actuality whose business is honestly going to succeed and make profits. In Commonwealth 10 our fact is aiming to keep manageable prices for our customers and hold a very welcoming staff. If the customers are happy and pleased then they will normally come back again and/or recommend our business to family and friends making our business to grow.

2.2 Enabling Global Payments at PayPal

Online shoppers know how easy it is to buy something online, but when it came time to make your purchase sending cash or checks through the mail was not accurate and/or took a long time. By inventing PayPal makes online shopping a quick and easy way to transfer money. When it comes time to make a payment for a web product the customer just enters their credit card number in and it will automatically charge the money to your account. I think PayPal has been so successful throughout the world is because people trust this method because it is a quick and easy way of transferring money to another account. In security customers information is confidential and secure. PayPal has increase their globalization by expanded clients to abroad and is charging fees for payment processing for a wide variety of online vendors. They also offer special merchant accounts for transferring large amounts of money.

2.1 Global Picture sharing: Flickr

Flickr.com was developed in 2002 in Canada and is now owned by Yahoo. It is now the easiest and most popular means of sharing photos online. Flickr did not invent online photo sharing, but they did invent a method called “tagging.” It lets the photo owners and viewers put a label on the picture so they can subscribe to in and share it with whomever they please. The use of photo sharing and tagging individuals into pictures created a term called “folksonomy.” This is simply when the viewers of the pictures can comment on the photos.

Flickr.com main enablers that keeps their business running is their specialization is selling photos, finding photos, and being able to stay in touch with family and friends through a social gathering. Since family and friends can’t always be in person with the ones they love, it allows them to not miss a minute of their life and watch kids grow and mature through the use of pictures.
