What’s New?
P3-P5, M2
Assignment 2 asks you to look at a particular organisation and summarise three aspects of IT development that could have an impact on their systems.
P3 explain how they have responded to technological developments
Research a particular organisation and consider three funsctions, activities, services, processes or procedures that are performed and find out how they have changed in recent years as a result of technology developments. There will be positive and negative aspects to each which need to be discovered and summarised. Try and be as specific about the tasks performed and the impact as you can. This will require (as will the later tasks) interviews and real research within an organisation where you can reasonably expect to get answers to the questions
P4 explain how they can manage (or have managed) risk in introducing new technology
In researching the organisation there will be areas where they have made changes - new equipment and software, new methods of utilising existing technology or extending its capabilities perhaps - and you should explain the risks involved in introducing these changes and how they have managed them. Risks could include extra costs, staff adjustments, environment changes, ensuring new systems actually produce what's required (as against a previously old but well-tested system, for example). It may be that using new IT solutions where previously there was a manual system brings risk of virus or makes unauthorised access easier.
P5 describe recent IT developments
These should relate to the organisation being looked at and you should indicate how a particular procedure or process could be enhanced or affected in recommendations you make for introducing changes.
