The article Connecting the Dots to Gain Competitive Advantage: Articulating a Technology Ecosystem Advantage to Your Boardtalks about how CIOs are no longer just the “tech guys” that fix the computers and decide how programs will be used. It says that the world of the CIO is now very complex, and the responsibilities for the CIO are also more complex because technology is now needed for nearly everything, compared to, for example, 10 years ago. Because of that, the “decision making” of the CIO continues to grow, and the biggest question to ask is whether all the needs of a technological ecosystem can be met in every single one of its dependencies. As dependencies, they need to work together. The job of the CIO is to make a good game plan on how to implement a system that consistently ensures that all the available technology options are ready to go to contribute to the vision of the organization: This is the Strategic Technology Map.

Develop a cloud strategy so that decisions do not have to be re-evaluated and analyzed with every new project/product, thus increasing enterprise agility and productivity. Is the recommendation that I would

There are many ways to use PowerPoint effectively and efficiently to allow your presentation to be professional. One of the best practices is creating a good and clean theme that brings the presentation together but that doesn’t distract from the actual information. This includes having contrasting colors between the text and information from the actual theme itself, that way your audience is able to focus on the text, charts, pictures being presented. Another best practice to use is to have short and sweet slides. To make a really great PowerPoint presentation, keep the slides short to avoid boring your audience and losing their interest (Laura, 2019). We don’t want to have loads of information in paragraph form on our slides, that can be distracting to the audience as they are trying to pay attention to you but also their eyes may be mixed on the saturated slides. The point of the powerpoint presentation is to have short points (i.e. bullet points) and then during your presentation, you elaborate on all of the bullet points listed.

One of the features I see as most helpful is the ability to use different themes and layouts, this can allow for so much creativity within the presentation and give it character to support the information. I think one feature we should try to limit is the repeated use of many transitions. By using multiple transitions, it may seem overused and can add that distracting feel to the presentation we don’t want the audience to feel. I plan on setting up my presentation to allow a clean and crisp presentation that is straight to the point but that is also visually appealing and easy on the eyes so the audience can focus on the information. I don’t want the audience to feel as if they are being bombarded with information.

Do a self-assessment of your draft paper (P 3)  (using the Self-Assessment criteria in Doc Sharing).

1. Review the material –

Decisions impact those we work with and those who are our customers. In Christianity, Proverbs 11:14 states, “Where there is no guidance, a people fall, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety” (English Standard Version). So, where does true wisdom come from? James 3:17 provides a spiritual perspective: “But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” Consider the value of seeking spiritual wisdom that cannot fail.

2. Be sure to address the following prompts in your paper:

1. Discuss the value of seeking spiritual wisdom. Why is wisdom a relevant concept in our technology environment?
2. How does your cultural or religious background impact your view of wisdom? Discuss how wisdom plays out in your daily life, at home, and at work.
3. Your paper should be at least 250 words in length.

Discuss in 500 words or more the top 5 details that should be included in your cloud SLA.

Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.  Stand alone quotes will not count toward the 3 required quotes.

Exercise 4 – In this project, you’ll create an array of 20 values in dollars and cents format ($1.59). You’ll then create four separate methods within the program to complete the listed tasks. The first method should create a total of all of the values listed in the array. The second should search the array, and return a listing of all values that are less than $5.00. The third should return the average of the values in the array. (Use the output from the first method.) Finally, display a list of all values in the array that are greater than the average value. You’ll save this program as Prices.java.”
