/in , /by

This assignment is a three- part activity. You will respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one research paper. Be sure to include at least one UC library source per prompt, in addition to your textbook (which means you’ll have at least 4 sources cited).

Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.

Prompt 1 “Data Warehouse Architecture” (2-3 pages): Explain the major components of a data warehouse architecture, including the various forms of data transformations needed to prepare data for a data warehouse. Also, describe in your own words current key trends in data warehousing.

Prompt 2 “Big Data” (2-3 pages): Describe your understanding of big data and give an example of how you’ve seen big data used either personally or professionally. In your view, what demands is big data placing on organizations and data management technology?

Prompt 3 “Green Computing” (2-3 pages): One of our topics in Chapter 13 surrounds IT Green Computing. The need for green computing is becoming more obvious considering the amount of power needed to drive our computers, servers, routers, switches, and data centers. Discuss ways in which organizations can make their data centers “green”. In your discussion, find an example of an organization that has already implemented IT green computing strategies successfully. Discuss that organization and share your link. You can find examples in the UC Library.

Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section.

The paper needs to be approximately 7-10 pages long, including both a title page and a references page (for a total of 9-12 pages). Be sure to use proper APA formatting and citations to avoid plagiarism.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be approximately seven to ten pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
  • Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • Support your answers with the readings from the course, the course textbook, and at least three scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find supplemental resources.
  • Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

As alluded to in the introductory part of the paper, organizations in the contemporary business environment are heavily dependent on big data. To effectively leverage big data to improve management, strategic decision-making requires organizations to have effective mechanisms or strategies to collect, store, analyze, and interpret pertinent data (Pearlson et al., 2016). Data warehousing denotes the process of gathering and managing information from different sources to get meaningful business insights (Pearlson et al., 2016). A data warehouse is typically used to connect and assess business data from various sources. It serves as the core of the BI system, created for data analysis and reporting (Pearlson et al., 2016). A data warehouse allows an organization to transform big data into valuable information and avail it to users in a timely way to make a difference (Pearlson et al., 2016).

Saudi Arabia commands a huge population of information and communication technology in the Middle East, with the younger population projected to be the most users of telecommunication services (CITC). One of the benefits of using the google search query tool is the ability of the users to obtain information about the company’s products. For instance, in this case, the customers could access information concerning their queries on the 5G network the company was planning to launch. The tool was vital in providing information on the benefits of the 5G network and how it would improve their experience in communication processes.

The third instance is the 2015 Ukrainian Power Grid Attack, wherein a cyber-attack targeted the power grid in Ukraine, resulting in a massive blackout that affected many citizens. The incident was attributed to a Russian state-funded institution and involved malware that was designed to disrupt industrial control systems, together with those used in telecommunications (Slowik, 2019). The attackers used spear-phishing emails and malware to gain get right of entry into the networks of the energy grid operator and then used that to launch a coordinated attack that resulted in the disruption of power distribution. This incident demonstrated the capacity for cyber-assaults to disrupt important infrastructure, which includes telecommunications networks, and the want for robust security measures to protect against such threats.

I have attached the previous portions.

The implementation is the final part, everything is listed above

Implementation Plan Phase

Describe how to make your solution design a reality within the target organization. Addressed to middle and senior management, the implementation plan builds upon the prior two phases and should be appended to the previous deliverable. This deliverable is due in Week 8.

The plan is a road map to improve the state of IT Governance. It typically describes “what happens”, “when it happens”, “who makes it happen”, and the proof that the design works. A successful completion of the Implementation Plan should suggest that the organization has now transitioned to a better compliance and IT Governance posture.

Here are the key components of the Implementation Plan deliverable.
• Schedule policy changes by departments, functions, or organization(s).
• Identify potential pilot projects to support the implementation plan.
• Define periodic internal and/or external compliance audits to validate the implementation.

Course Project Expectations

Here is the list of the required content for the course project.
• Cover page
• Table of contents – the three phases and their sections
• Executive summary – one page, or less
• Problem definition statement
• Solution design overview
• Solution design
• Presentation of issue discovered and addressed
• Diagrams where appropriate
• Supporting information for actual events, regulations, breaches, crimes, etc.
• Potential or actual consequences of not implementing the suggested design.
• Risk assessment used in the solution design phase.
• Cost estimates where possible.
• Implementation overview
• Implementation schedule, required resources, and new/updated policies.
• Implementation operational impact forecast.
• Method used to prove the design addressed the requirements.
• Post-implementation expectations, benefits, and follow-up activities.
• References

Research: Use credible sources upon which to base your project report. In cases where the source is necessary, but credibility is not assured, you must note it in the text of your documents. You are required to use the APA style for both in-text citations and the References section of the project deliverable.

Originality: Use citations to indicate where ideas have come from outside sources. All writing must be in your own words. No direct quotations of outside sources are allowed without citations.

Deliverables: Everything should add value and move the reader to the next point. The minimum length of the final deliverable — not counting the cover page, table of contents, and references — is four double-spaced pages. The maximum length is eight pages. Unless approved by your professor, do not submit deliverables that have fewer or more pages than what is expected.

Requirements: 5-10 pages

In the process of mitigating the risks associated with threats to cloud computing, the company will create new security policies about cybersecurity. The company expects all employees to enhance the security of its IT infrastructure through data privacy and network security. The employees will be required to create passwords by combining letters, numbers, and characters. The employees will not be allowed to log in to the company infrastructure using unsecured devices or public networks. The company will use anti-malware software to mitigate phishing or virus infection on its system. Anti-malware automatically mitigates data infiltration. Kahyaoglu & Caliyurt (2018) outline that anti-malware plays a considerable role in addressing the risk of information integrity. Therefore, updated malware mitigates the damage that could be caused by viruses and other malicious software. Employees are curtailed from disclosing any highly classified information related to the company to outsiders, competitors, or any other party.

E-governance is highly dependent not only on the presence of an ICT infrastructure but also on the presence of a stable internet connection. Giri et al. (2018) posit that without access to a stable internet connection, people cannot take advantage of e-governance and m-governance to access vital government services. Technology is widely considered a rapidly evolving phenomenon, considering it changes with each passing day. Technological advancements have, over the years, led to the development of portable technology devices such as smartphones and laptops that can easily access the internet. Despite this, Giri et al. (2018) argue that purchasing these devices is quite challenging for many people in developing countries due to their costly nature. Many people in developing countries earn meager incomes, forcing them to spend the little money they have on attending to their basic needs such as buying food, paying rent, and buying clothes (Giri et al., 2018). Due to this, most of them have less leftover money to spend on smartphones and laptops, which they perceive as luxurious items and, thus, unnecessary. Furthermore, internet connectivity in developing nations is not widespread, especially in rural areas (Giri et al., 2018).

An American Internet Technology company has merged with a Canadian Social Media company. Because of this merger, performance is not as optimum as the executives would have hoped; morale is low, and stress is up. The new company has decided to hire you as an Organizational Development consultant. They have tasked you with finding out the issues and what they should do next to get back on track.

Instructions

Now that you have secured your role as an Organizational Development consultant, you are now tasked with determining a diagnostic and intervention process. You will need to demonstrate to management how using the chosen diagnostic process will be used in the new company to help increase the efficiency of the organization.

The following questions should be included in your business, professional report:

  1. Describe how you select a diagnostic process to use for this organizational development cultural change.
  2. Given the current situation, what are some of the process interventions you recommend for the newly merged company to ensure effective work teams?
  3. How would you collect the data needed for the organizational development program?
  4. Discuss some organizational development strategies that, as the consultant, you would use to create the necessary change.

Requirements: 3-4 pages not including cover and reference page

Answer preview

The most important organizational development strategies that can implement change in the organization are support congruency, information flow, and variance control. The issues that exist between Canadian and American workers who work at the merger organization come from variant control. That makes employees deviate from the ideal work processes creating a defense for most boundary-related tasks. The new management should follow the new information flow design that provides solutions to the company’s problems. That would help create an open and effective communication flow based on employee needs instead of following the old hierarchical form of communication that demotivates workers (Grigorios, 2018).

An example of a research article I found helpful in my nursing practice was “Impact of Information and Communication Technologies on Nursing Care.” The journal article clearly illustrates the positive influence of information technology in health care delivery and the role of nurses in attaining improved service delivery in information management, decision making, and communication (Rouleau et al., 2017). Reading the article increased my understanding of the role of information technology in nursing practice. Additionally, I have encountered literature that had irrelevant information about the nursing practice because it has incomplete information. The research article did not exhaustively discuss the subject in question. My search was based on the importance of the art of nursing in the nursing practice, but most of the information provided in the investigation did not touch on the subject’s importance to the nursing practice. This area requires extensive research to be conducted as the articles such as Lopyola and Oliveira’s (2021) research article do not illustrate the importance of the art of nursing to the nursing practice as a whole.

Another assumption is that the organization’s human resource practices and approaches will also be affected by the proposed digital transformation. Digitalizing the company’s HR will alter everything employees know about their work, including the nature of their work, career structure, knowledge, skills required to perform their job, and expectations (Verlinden, 2020). The proposed HR digital transformation will create an all-in attitude, which extends beyond automation and provides enhanced business agility, intelligent services, and skills associated with a diverse workforce (Verlinden, 2020). For this HR digital transformation to succeed, the metamorphosis must involve the entire company (Verlinden, 2020). As such, all the company’s stakeholders will require a clear goal and buy-in.

A data warehouse’s architecture is complicated, considering it is an information system containing commutative and historical information from numerous sources. It is often based on an RDBMS server and surrounded by vital components, making the environment accessible, functional, and manageable (Nadikattu, 2019). A data warehouse architecture is comprised of six components. The first one is the data warehouse database. This component serves as the foundation of the data warehousing environment (Nadikattu, 2019). It is installed based on the organization’s RDBMS technology (Nadikattu, 2019). However, this gets constrained because conventional RDBMS systems are optimized for transactional database processing rather than data warehousing.
