Digital Economy 2023

  Hi guys!!  I'm coming to you today to have a chat about three online platforms that can be used for a new gym, a new clothing boutique and a cafe. There are many other businesses that can use online platforms but we're going to focus on these three for this blog. We are all living in a new digital age, now companies successes will lie in their online presence. i know from my own personal experience I much prefer to do all my booking online, the though of picking up the phone to call and make an appointment or a booking will put me off. Just recently i needed to buy something that required paying over the phone but I've been so busy I haven't remembered to make the phone call, it has been three weeks since I decided I needed to do it, whereas if i could just pay online it would have been done and dusted and I would have my purchase by now. This is an example of how important an online platform is for a business.  A New Gym While researching the best platform for a new ...

  Hey there!!  Ever hear of Big Data?    We all go about our daily lives with our smartphone on our person all day, we scroll on this smart  phone on social media, we use it to look up places to eat, using maps to get us to an unknown place. Our smart watched track our steps, the distance we walk in a day and where we walk, when we ask our Alexa or Google a question.  All things we do with are devices is being gathered along with lots of other data that may already be there  all this data that is collected from you and all the other people around you is piled together into what's called Big Data.

  Hi everyone! I am back this week to chat about, as the title suggests, Information Systems and the struggles companies can face when implementing them. An information system comprises of interconnected components designed for gathering, storing, manipulating, and transmitting both data and digital information. Information systems can be a valuable asset to an organisation, these systems store and manage data, they improve efficiency, assist with decision making by analysing data, and help complete tasks efficiently, however if the implementation of these systems fail it can be very costly to a company. It is crucial that a business is prepared for the implementation and uses appropriate project management methods. Poor project management can result in running over on time and costs, and never seeing the benefits of the information system. There are many information systems out there to choose from, and finding one to suit the needs of the business requires time, planning and mone...
