Class,

It was only June 29th, 2007 when the first iPhone came out, but it feels like we have been living with these devices and their apps for much longer. Smartphones have created a new way of living. We are always connected, have instant access to information, instant directions to any location, and much more. The mobile experience is now expected, and enterprises have to adapt and provide these experiences to their customers, employees, and partners.  

• Discuss why mobile application development is considered unique in comparison to website development. 
• How has mobile application development impacted the use of Smartphones?  Explain
• Why are mobile apps an expected part of enterprise development and marketing?

To participate in the Discussion, respond to the Discussion prompt by Day 3. Then, read a selection of your colleagues’ postings. Finally, respond to at least two classmates by Day 5 in one or more of the following ways:

• Complete the Week #3 Discussion by the assigned due date.  Late assignments will not be accepted. 
• This is a required assignment and is worth 25 points.
• You must apply and use the basic citation styles of APA.
• Do not claim credit for the words, ideas, and concepts of others.
• Use in-text citation and list the reference of your supporting source following APA’s style and formatting
• Do not copy and paste information or concepts from the Internet and claim that is your work.  It will be considered Plagiarism and you will receive a zero for your work.
• Use this link to access the Discussion Board

Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you have learned and/or any insights you have gained as a result of the comments your colleagues made.

you will pick any career the easiest one you can do, I prefer Technology Carrer.

As part of the course, there is a required final project.

• This project is for you to begin/continue researching potential career fields you are interested in pursuing. This final project is an opportunity to explore something that you are passionate about. Remember, career paths are not linear….they often look like a bowl of spaghetti…and that’s okay! I was determined to be swimming with the dolphins in Hawaii and perpetually smelling like halibut….but my focus changed and now here I am in my true calling.
• How you decide to present that material to me is up to you…BE CREATIVE! If you would like to write a paper, great. If you want to tape yourself giving a presentation-fantastic. If you want to make a Glogster (online poster)-wonderful. If you want to do a taped skit-superb. I am completely open to anything, as long as I can access it, it covers the required information and it’s your own work.

Part 1

 Overview: Using mentor or model texts is a strategy to improve your own writing.  The New York Times describes mentor texts as, “Demystifying the writing process via examples students can learn from and emulate.” In this assignment, you will locate a mentor text in the form of a dissertation that may or may not be similar to your own topic to use as a model while you write your chapter 2.  It is most helpful to find a dissertation with a literature review similar to your own, but if that is not possible, you may look for the next best option. Directions:

1. Use ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global database on the UC Library website to locate mentor text dissertation (preferably it would be related to your topic). 
2. You may need to use advanced search options to help narrow your search. 
3. Scan read the entire dissertation.
4. Carefully read the literature review section.
5. Provide a one-paragraph summary of the entire literature review.  
6. Write a second paragraph about what you learned through reviewing chapter 2. 

Additional Information: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global database is accessible through the Databases link below the blue picture on the Library website. The Databases tab will access an alphabetical list of the Library databases. The dissertation database is listed twice, as Dissertations and Theses and as ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. Both links access the same database. Many of the dissertations published since 1997 are available in full text with a link to the PDF. Here is the link to the P section of the database listings https://ucumberlands.libguides.com/az.php?a=p 

My Dissertation topic is Cyber Security

Part 2

Please write 250-300 words on the gaps on the research work done on Cyber security and literature review for the same. Please use the attached document as a reference to narrow down the gaps that can be researched further on. 

 Task Requirements

Imagine that you are a new manager responsible for the IT team in a start-up company that provides hosting services for online storefronts. Shortly before you were hired, the IT systems were compromised, resulting in the services going offline for almost 24 hours before services were restored. As a result, the business suffered financial losses that it could ill afford as a start-up company.

The CEO of the company has directed you to put together a plan to mitigate future risks. The first step is to assemble a team of subject matter experts to help you create the plan. The CEO wants to review a list of the recommended team members before you proceed with the plan. You need to create a list of recommended team members in a form for submission to the CEO. In creating the recommendation, evaluate each role selected, documenting the value that the team member will bring to the process. Also, document any potential issues where team members might have conflicting priorities and you would resolve any conflicts.

Project Overview

The course final project is designed for you to apply the software application skills you acquired during the term. For this project, you will use all four of the Microsoft Office applications to create a unified project on a single topic. The instructions below are not step-by-step instructions – as part of the previous assignments you’ve already learned how to carry out various functions in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. Instead, the information below details the requirements for the final project. If you need assistance with “how to do something in one of the Office applications” return to your SIMnet MS Office textbook. You can access this via the “Library” link in the top right-hand corner of SIMnet.

Software Requirements

You must use the following software applications to create the final project:

• Microsoft Word 2019

• Microsoft Excel 2019

• Microsoft Access 2019

• Microsoft PowerPoint 2019

No other versions of Office may be used. If you’re missing any of the above applications, keep in mind that the computers in the Open Computer Lab (DTEC 462) have all these applications available for your use.

Project Topic

Your project topic is your intended major/career.  You should begin developing your project after researching your intended major and career via the Careers in IT sections of the textbook and websites linked in Module 13.  This is the focus of your final project. You will use ALL the Office applications to create content related to your chosen topic. 

Project Minimum Requirements

Project Description:

You are the assistant director for the Information Technology (IT)  department at Healthy Living Motorcycles, Inc. In addition to overseeing  hardware and software selection, system maintenance, and employee IT  training, you create and maintain databases for the whole organization.  The organization uses one central database rather than maintaining  several individual ones to reduce data redundancy and errors. You will  take the opportunity to create an efficient database to keep track of  and manage information regarding the company’s employees, products, and  shareholders.

You   have an existing database that contains the products sold by  the company.   However, you need to create   a table that will classify  each product under a specific category. After the   table is created,  you import the category data into the new table.
 

  Import the data in the 02a_ProductCategory.xlsx   Excel  file into a new table. Use the column headings from the Excel file,    select the CategoryID field as the primary key, and then save the  table as Product Category.
   Hint: On the External Data tab, in Import & Link group, click New Data   Source.
 

  See next page for Instruction 3

With the Product Category table   open in Design view. Ensure the  field properties of the Product Category   table have been modified as  follows:

Field Name

Data Type

Field Size

Comments

CategoryID

Short Text

Description = This field is assigned a 2-letter code

Caption = Category ID

This is a required field

Set Indexed = Yes (No Duplicates)

Primary key

CategoryName

Short Text

25

Caption = Category Name

This is a required field

Set Indexed = Yes (No Duplicates)

Description

Long Text

SupplierID

Short Text

Caption = Supplier ID

Description = All Supplier ID must begin with an “S”

Set Indexed = No

  Hint: To open the table in Design view, right-click, and then click  Design   View. Use the Field Properties pane to modify the properties.

View the data in the Product   Category table in Datasheet view and adjust column widths so all data is   visible.
 

  Save and close the table.

You create relationships among   the four tables (Employees, Product  Category, Suppliers, and Products) so   that you can make the database  more efficient.
 

  Create the following relationships and enforce referential integrity:
 

• Product Category and Suppliers   tables using the SupplierID field
  • Suppliers and Employees tables   using the EmployeeContactID and EmployeeID fields
  • Product Category and Products   tables using the CategoryID field
 

  Save and close the Relationships window.
   Hint: On the Database Tools tab, in the Relationships group, click   Relationships.

You need to quickly find the   products that were supplied by a  foreign country. You will open the Suppliers   table and filter the  records.
 

  Open the Suppliers table in Datasheet view.
 

  Filter the records for the suppliers who were outside of the United States.   You should have 11 records.
 

  Close the table.
   Hint: Click the arrow to the right of the S_Country field, and then deselect   the USA checkbox.

The director of marketing has   requested a list of the suppliers  that have a capacity of more than 25,000   square feet for manufacturing  and warehouse space.
 

  Create a query using the Suppliers table to display the SupplierID,    SupplierName, and Capacity fields for those plants with more than  25,000   square feet. Sort the results by SupplierName in ascending  order.
 

  Run the query. Name the query Supplier Size. Save and close the query.
   Hint: On the Create tab, in the Queries group, click Query Design. In the   Capacity column, enter >25000 as the criteria.

The director of marketing wants   a list of the employees who are the  main contact with the suppliers. He also   wants the addresses of these  contact employees so that he can personally send   them a letter  thanking them for working diligently with these suppliers.
 

  Create a query using the Suppliers and Employees tables.
 

  Display the SupplierName, EmployeeLastName, EmployeeFirstName,    E_StreetAddress, E_City, E_State, and E_PostalCode fields. Sort the  results   by EmployeeLastName, in ascending order.
 

  Run the query. Save the query as Contact Employee Address. Close the query.

The human resources manager   would like a list of all employees and  the approximate length of time they   have worked for the company.
 

  Create a query using the Employees table and include the EmployeeLastName,   EmployeeFirstName, and Date_of_Hire fields.
 

  Create an expression in the first blank column of the query that  calculates   the number of years employees have worked for the company,  using the   Date_of_Hire field and the current date. Do not adjust for  days off. Name the   expression Tenure. Format the Tenure field as Fixed with 2 decimal places. Name   the query Employee Tenure.
   Hint: Enter Tenure: (Date()-[Date_of_Hire])/365 as the last field in the query.

Create a report from the   Employee Tenure query. Group by  Date_of_Hire by month. Sort ascending by   Date_of_Hire. Change the  title to Employee Tenure Report. Make sure all fields display   appropriately.
 

  Widen the columns to display all text. Save the report with the default name,   Employee Tenure, and close it.
   Hint: With the query selected, on the Create tab, in the Reports  group, click   Report. On the Design tab, in the Grouping & Totals  group, click Group   & Sort.

Your organization is always   looking for more suppliers to  manufacture products. You create a new form to   make it easier to enter  new supplier information.
 

  Create a new form based on the Suppliers table using the Form tool. Change   the title label control to Enter Supplier Information.  Reduce the text box widths to   one-half of their original size. Change  the form’s control padding to Narrow.   Save the form as Enter Supplier Information.
   Hint: With the table selected, on the Create tab, in the Forms group,  click   Form. To change the control padding, on the Arrange tab, in the  Position   group, click Control Padding.

Switch to Form view. Enter a new   supplier record, #15, using the following information:

   Postal Code: 48094
   S_Country: USA
 

  Leave Capacity at 0. Leave the S_Phone, S_Fax, Home Page, and ProductID   fields blank.
 

  Sort the form by Supplier Name in ascending order.
 

  Save and close the form.
   Hint: To sort the data, click in the SupplierName field and, on the  Home tab, in the Sort & Filter group,   click Ascending.

The director of marketing would   like a report that lists the  suppliers who manufacture the various   motorcycles. You create a query  and the report for him using the Report   Wizard.
 

  Create a query and name it Motorcycles by Suppliers.  Add the SupplierName,   SupplierContactLastName, and Capacity fields  from the Suppliers table. Add   the ProductName and ProductSize fields  from the Products table. Add the   Product Category table. Sort in  descending order by Capacity, but do not   display the field in the  query.
 

  Run, save, and close the query.
   Hint: To hide the field from the query results, in Design view, in  the   Capacity column, click to remove the check mark from the Show box.

Create a report based on the   Motorcycles by Suppliers query. View  the data by Suppliers, and group the data   by SupplierName. Sort the  data by ProductName, ascending order. Select   Landscape Orientation for  the report. Use Block layout.
 

  Change the report title to Motorcycles Grouped by Suppliers.  Preview the report. Change the   column widths so all the data is  visible. Ensure the Report Header title   control is wide enough so the  entire title is visible. Switch to Print   Preview and make sure that  the report is displayed on one page. Exit Print   Preview and close the  report.
   Hint: On the Create tab, in the Reports group, click Report Wizard.

The director of accounting wants   to know the cost of  time-and-a-half overtime, over and above the regular   payroll, for all  hourly employees in the organization. You will create a   query to find  all the employees who worked overtime and create a report based   on the  query results.
 

  Create a query using the Employees table to calculate the hourly  rate at time   and a half for those employees who work more than 40  hours per week. Include the following fields:   EmployeeFirstName,  EmployeeLastName, Hours, Rate, and E_State. Calculate the   weekly  overtime costs in a column called Weekly Overtime.  Please note: Only the hours   worked over 40 hours per week count toward  overtime pay. Format the field as   Currency with 2 decimal places.
 

  Name and save the query as Weekly Overtime.
   Hint: In the Hours column, enter >40 as the criteria. Enter Weekly Overtime:   ([Hours]-40)*([Rate]*1.5) as the last field in the query.

Create a report for the Weekly   Overtime query. Switch to Layout  view and use the SUM function to calculate   the total cost of overtime  pay to all employees. Apply the Organic theme to   the report. Change  the report title to Employee Weekly Overtime, format the title in bold.   Ensure the Control Margins is set to None.
 

  Preview the report and adjust column widths so that the content appears on   one page.
