Ansuico, Inc. Redball Express

For the company we conducted studies
which is the Ansuico, Inc. they mentioned some barriers that affect to their
company, which is HACK, COMPUTER VIRUS
and Electrical Problem like Brown Out.

Hack Case, they are looking forward what would be the possibilities
to counter if in case they will encounter some Hacking Problem. Hackers most
having to do with technical adeptness and a delight in solving problems and
overcoming limits.


Actually Hackers are not simple
or easy problem. A lot of skills to be consider as a Hackers Learn
how to program, Get one of the open-source Unixes and learn to use and run it,
and If you don’t have functional English, learn it.

For now on
Ansuico, Inc. is making their move towards a better corporation and competitive
trucking company.


COMPUTER VIRUS Case, time
to time Viruses are updated. We can’t escape to reality, having a high
technology advantages there are also corresponding disadvantages one of it is
the VIRUS.


COMPUTER VIRUS is a Computer Program that can copy itself and infect a computer
without the permission or knowledge of the owner. Ansuico, Inc is more on Data File,
Transactions Records, Employee Record Keeping, Company Records and etc. If there will be a
VIRUS will infect the system of the Ansuico, Inc. it is a big problem in their
side, so to prevent VIRUSES they are always having their maintenance for each
of their system in order to avoid some system failure and viruses. It may cost
a lot of expenses but it helps a lot for the company benefits not only for the
company but also for the employee, staff, and customer.


BROWN OUT Case, wew in their company technology helps a lot of
things one good example of it that helps a lot for them is, it makes their work
faster and easier. If in case there will be BROWN OUT will happen the tendency
is they go to the MANUAL MODE which is it takes a lot of time and more effort
for them to work, and it may effect also for the transaction in their
customers.


Barriers that exist to successful
introduction of IT:

Three Categories:

Structural Barriers


-Structural Barriers are those factors
inherent in the organizations structure or systems that are not compatible with
the new technology. This can include communication, authority flows and
planning systems, and reflect how the organization has traditionally done
things. A failure to perceive the strategic benefits of the investment, a lack
of co-ordination and co-operation due to organizational fragmentation, and a
perception of high risk are all symptoms of organizational problems.


Human Barriers

-Human Barriers include
psychological problems that arise in most periods of change, such as
uncertainly avoidance, and resistance to loss of power or status.


Technical Barriers

-Technical Barriers, they noted,
were factors in the technology itself, such as lack of system compatibility.
Technical factors relate to the need for flexibility and information handling
capacity, with the dangers of disjointed islands of automation being created
which limit information flow.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+


Other have confirmed that the key
barriers to IT implementation tend to be organizational, and rather than
technical, and these barriers are often understated. For instance, focused on
general management problems in successful planning of strategic information
systems and concluded that the key factors were the attitude, commitment and involvement
of management: the current sophistication of IS (Information System) within the
company: the ability to measure and justify the benefits of strategic IS (Information
System): and the integration of IS (Information System) into business strategy.



Overall, research into the
barriers to organizations adopting IT intervention are consistent with a
general conclusion that organizational barriers
are more important than technical barriers, but that this is frequently
not recognized by the adopting firms. Organizational Barriers relate to structural
issues, such as fragmentation and poor relations between functional
departments, and an acceptance, by senior management, of the strategic benefits
of IT intervention and a clear strategy for its implementation.


It is therefore not clear
whether, in practice, organizations have yet learn that the adoption of new technologies
which lead to fundamental change require a much greater focus on the strategic
and organizational implications of the technological intervention, as well as
the immediate technical problems of incompatibility fragmentation and cost
containment.
