Summary: Superhero In The Cubicle
After reviewing “Superhero in the Cubicle” I have learned how much the internet is a form of communication. You have wiki, IBM, Google and many more different types of communication available on the web. All these websites offer information, in which business use that information as a way to communicate.

I now understand two different communication types, in which has advanced the way businesses communicate. IBM Lotus Connections is a new Web-based tool from Big Blue that combines record-keeping, blogging, bookmarking and more. Using this application, workers can easily file all receipts, forms, e-mail, voicemail, instant messaging, chats and related items to a central archive. Archives are like a library where information is collected

    Lyt2 Simple GetawaysOVERVIEW Due To Several

    The processes currently being used at Simple Getaways for communication and the distribution of information are no longer suitable for the organization. Documents from each office are stored onsite on a Microsoft Windows file server, making it difficult for other offices to access and use the information they contain. Currently the method used to share files with other offices is via email. This results in multiple copies of the same document residing on various computers at multiple office locations. The duplicate versions are not updated when the original document is modified which leads to different versions of the same document being used. Some business decisions are being made using information from the outdated documents. For example, a document containing airline ticket pricing may be used when creating price quotes for customer travel, but the price for airline tickets fluctuates regularly. If these inaccurate prices were used in a quote, the company has the potential to lose money on the transaction and may be obligated to fulfil the terms of the quote even though it was based on incorrect information. Additionally, when a document is shared between multiple offices and they each make alterations and return the document, the process of integrating the changes into a single document is daunting and often…

    Week 3: Checkpoint: Technological Advancements in Com

    IBM Lotus Connections and Near-Time share similarities in enabling the users to blog, wiki, and mashup because these collaborative Web technology tools are equipped with the social computing abilities. Both of these advanced technological tools are both easy to install, without any IT’s assistance, and inexpensive (economical). Near-Time allows the users to sort out the information source and develop new informal channels; in contrast, IBM Lotus Connections does not allow users the same information sorting and creating functions. Making use of these advanced technological tools for wiki, store and retrieve data, and blogging seems practical and beneficial at my workplace; however, my job does not always need these highly developed technological devices to accomplish the work goals.…

    Case Study Ibm

    In the past IBM used their traditional approach such as Blue pages ( a corporate directory), practitioner support network ( a person brokered service), Blue groups, emails and distribution list management, forums with support for formal and informal amounts, and other means such as telephone and rolodex. Now they use knowledge sharing ideas such as professional development, knowledge sharing and collaboration. Within the new information sharing is a federated search for content, Small Blue/atlas, designating expert through IM, MY PLACE tab, social bookmarking, RSS feeds for website and summary of specific employee taggings. The new Knowledge sharing approach is easier and more efficient. Employees with content expertise add content to the web. Content is rated by others that reviewed it before and so you can choose higher rated items without having to browse other data.…

    The benefits of using information technology for doing work tasks within a business, and for others, are vast. One such benefit has allowed for better communication between an organisation and others from around the world no matter where they may be. For example, Mail, images and videos can be sent around the world electronically in only a fraction of a second and for very little, if any, cost. It can actually allow people to visually communicate with each other via devices, such as tablets and mobile phones, and with the use of software on a computer, as if they were sat in front of each other in the same room. It also enables people to search for information easier and quicker via search engines, such as google. Quotes and brochures may be easily sent…

    Hcs 325 Week 2 Effective Communication Paper

    Several methods of communication exist to efficiently communicate within any organization. In my organization, emails messages are largely used to communication inside and outside of the organization. Although, email is somewhat informal, it is the quickest and most effective method of sending and receiving messages and they can also be considered a formal method of communication, depending on the contents and whether or not there is any formal correspondence attached. Email can involve one-to-one communication, but it also supports one-to-many transmissions in which the same message can be sent to lists of people (Reddick and King, 2001:24). Scheduling conferences and meetings, changing policies and procedures, keeping employees and staff apprised of any changes, and sending and receiving formal documents are just a few of the things email is used for in my organization. Email also works tremendously well when collaborating on a project. However, emails should only be used for quick messages or communication among staff members.…

    Cosmopolitanism and People

    The Internet is playing a very important role in the evolution of digital technology, but although it has seen remarkable growth over the last few years, its dispersion remains highly asymmetric. It is widely believed that the so called information age will bring radical change and improvement, and countries all over the world are busy with constructing the necessary infrastructure, the "information superhighways," in order to meet the challenges of the information society of the twenty-first century. Kwame Anthony Appiah’s essay “Making Conversation” tell us about human’s conversation is better expressing themselves in person. Marshall Poe said in his article “The Hive” talks about the evolution of Wikipedia and how people are interacting online. The internet serves a purpose for research, schoolwork, and connections. However, the result from the internet age is loosing communication,lack of social interaction, and the unreliable nature of websites.…

    Accordingly, I will argue the pros and cons of the business implications the web has on e-business vs. brick-and-mortar organizations because it is ubiquitous and how we communicate, and our online behavior has led to a tremendous need for a new wave of information. Whether the ground-breaking scheme is an enhancement or travesty, the bottom line is we live in the technological era, and we cannot extricate the effects and causes of internet (web), nor its trepidations and accomplishments.…

    E-mails can be sent as a letter, memo, or as a document with an attachment. The convenience of e-mails is that the business has the option to send the message to one receiver or to multiple receivers simultaneously. The best thing about companies conducting business through e-mail is that the company will have a written record of the information being sent. E-mail also allows a company to transmit complex information fast and conveniently in a matter of minutes across the world. In a descriptive analysis of the e-mail, an individual has multiple options to design the message in which he wishes to send.…
