Managerial Issues
In the world of the internet and information technology the infrastructure is the physical that is used to connect computers and the users. Infrastructure also includes the transmission media such as the lines through telephones television satellites as well as any sort of routers antennas and any other devices that would control the transmission paths. When it comes to managing infrastructures this refers to managing the computing facilities as well as the key elements such as the computer databases the information management systems and the application software. One of the risks in managing the IS would be the globalization issues. Globalization does have its positive side such as opportunities for companies to grow however with that there is also the chance of complex array of operating risks. Without the right infrastructure to conquer these sorts of risks it can lead to company shutdown and no company wants that to happen. Here are a few ways to prevent that from happening.
You want to develop a global platform to better manage the project portfolio as well as to create an infrastructure to maintain international diversity. You want to also develop the proper frame work to beep the …show more content…
balancing of individual projects by reviewing intelligence from a global perspective.
You also want to be sure you have the proper resources. Due to the competition for talent in other companies you want to be able to have the dependable resources needed in order to have the perfect company portfolio.
When it comes to managerial issues globalization is not the only thing that management has to worry about. There are also Standards in the industry for configuration and management as well. There is the ISO or the International Standards Organization does not have a standard for configuration however the quality management does have standards. The Quality requires any sort of tracking documentation as well as any changes that have to be made for any parts.
The 10007 standard does provide a set of recommendations for both the change as well as the quality management and for the quality to keep control over any system requests that it may endure. There is also the IEEE 828. These are just a few of the Industry Standards among the long list. Speaking of lists the managerial lists keeps going from here. In addition to the Industrial Standards and the globalization. There is also the required training for the adaptive maintenance in order to keep up with any changes that will occur. The reason that an adaptive is needed is because that technology is changing quicker and more than companies would like for it to. Adaptive maintenance pretty much comes into play especially against any competitors that might go after your main products or even go below your set prices to gain more business and to take your customers away.
There is a strategy that you can use to move around your departments which can separate from the segments that make more money away from the ones that tend to make you less money.
Using the proper strategy and also the proper training can save your company from going out of business or broke which by going broke can then lead to the closing of your doors. You want to pay attention to some things such as costing of commodity any sort of regulations posted by the government etc. By paying attention to the small factors such as these could very well mean the difference in keeping the doors open and shutting down especially if you fail to abide by any government policies and
procedures.
The last thing I want to go over on the list which is configuration management. This is the process of controlling any changes that need to be made to IT configurations which might include control, Identification, planning, status accounting, and the verification and audit.
With all of these operations together the controlling process can function normally. If there is even one of the operations missing then it could mean that the controlling could go wrong which could mean bad consequences. The identification is one of the most important operations. This is when certain items are Id for any needed changes.
With these issues listed for managing issues that could occur if you take the needed precautions then it will all work out for the better and your business will grow to be stronger than ever.
