Risk in Business and IT/IS change

About the assignment...according to the article i read in this site http://www.biac.org/statements/iccp/Final_Information_Security_for_Executives071003.pdf

Decision related to risk and its mitigation should involve senior management. It is important to identify and clarify the risk you they might encounter during the decision making. You mus formulate questions and solutions to the questions! For example, what are the risk of the business? How to minimize it? Is it acceptable? Or can be avoided?

The events likely to threaten normal operation of the system are identified in the
Risk Assessment as follows:
1. Evacuation of Building
2. Non-Availability of Staff
3. Destruction of SOC
4. Connectivity Failures
5. Software Failures
6. Power Outages
7. Hardware Failures.

So even if you have a perfect plan and decision making, still you must consider some risks and threats to avoid some inconsistency.

thats all sir!! thank you!!

Barriers in IS/IT

Base on the article that i've read barriers in IS/IT is simply the distruction or what i mean to say the hindrance or problem in achieving the goals of IS/IT. This includes the lack of education background in both technology and programs and not enough information about it. Because of this problem many people got hard time finishing their projects. Next is the Lack of a shared, reliable computing and network infrastructure which is obviously one of the most problem because lack of facilities. Some people create a Goals that are too ambitious for the resources available to achieve them in the end they end up nothing. Human and organizational resistance to change this includes always changing their ideas that makes confusion. The intend project has Unrealistic time frames which no due time to finish it so it ends up hanging. And Changing priorities these problem is so confusing cause they end up their projects to nothing because they change their priorty for time or money or attention not for the benifit of finishing the first made project.Thats all for my understanding...i hope i give you idea!! and please dont try this at home!!!

Some Best Practices of IS/IT

http://www.portlandonline.com/

In the article that I have read, it talks about 23 best practices within the information systems life cycle phases. As a summary of what I have read. One of the best practices of IS is Determining the Project I think this is important because if you want to be successful in your project you have to focus and to have determination in pursuing it to finish. Next is to know your project well to gather necessary data and information, its functional term and define it clearly. The project must be for the good of the people you are working on. If your project is about to finish you must test it and if troubles appear then fix it till you complete it 100% thats also determination. And finally when you finish it...plan for a maintenance so that you can maintain the accessibility o your project.As you read this post you can identify now the good practices of Information systems. Although this is not all about the full goodness of the IS I hope you learned a bit!! thank you!! ^_^

Why IS/IT systems fails?

For me since I’m new about these things I can say that it depends on the situation or problems. Since IS is an activity that process data and information in a certain organization and deal with the development, use and management of an organization's IT infrastructure. I think Information Systems (IS) fails because of wrong implementation of the project. Or the implementer did/do not follow the data that are gathered. In any case I think IS also fails because of the wrong plan and messy data gathering hence the implementer will follow it then it will fail!! ^_^
