Last week, we discussed in general detail the roles of the corporate faculty and staff members in regards to development and deployment of the upgraded Human Resource database application. While the roles of individuals was made fairly clear, planning is still in the earliest of phases. The roles of team members discussed last week revealed that additional research is needed in order to formulate the most efficient means of transitioning to the upgraded application. Moreover, several different flows of data were discussed in a fairly general manner in regards to improving efficiency of the flow of said data. Efficiency of the software can be greatly increased in reducing the data flow footprint to provide the most efficient flow of data between departments. Security Controls
The level of security and its effectiveness in an application is a concern for all software development projects. Operations and Information Technology will hold key responsibility in implementation and maintenance of the software security measures. These measures will include but not be limited to firewalls, intrusion detection systems, credential verification, and standard backup operations (Valacich, 2012). This responsibility isn’t limited to just these measures or to this scope of responsibility. All hands that take part in development will have some responsibility in assuring appropriate security measures are developed, implemented, and maintained.
Data
As with any other system, all data needs to be kept secure. Employee confidentiality is of paramount importance, particularly in a system that hold and utilizes potentially sensitive personal employee information. Moreover, seemingly innocuous information such as standards and procedures within the company also need to be kept secure. Any secure, sensitive, or proprietary information should be encrypted and password
