IT Impact on My Chosen ProfessionMy chosen profession that I am going to college for is Computer Information Systems. I'm not entirely sure what exact job title I'd like to get from this. I know I would like to be in charge of a company's technology, being responsible for keeping systems running, training employees on how to use programs, and deciding which new programs would be best for the company. Computers have had a very positive effect in this regard. For inventory companies, computers allow the company to know immediately when new products are available by searching the Internet. They receive a lot of valuable information about the product, such as quality, price, etc. The company can quickly and easily purchase inventory over the Internet and track it as it ships. Once the company receives its inventory, it sells it individually to its customers. Many companies have websites that allow the consumer to go to the company's website and do the same thing the company did to obtain inventory. They can view product information, view the latest products, and order quickly online. The customer receives an order confirmation number that allows them to check the status of their purchase as it ships and see if there are any delays due to backorders or other issues . IBM will soon release middleware that will help improve these aspects of the business. Middleware will allow a company to manage information about its products that exists on various systems. The software will allow product attributes and locations to be shared more precisely. Many companies continue to release inaccurate information about their products due to insufficient technology. This middleware will help solve this business problem by enabling businesses to improve their performance and customer service. This will have a very positive impact on businesses (Beth Bacheldor-InformationWeek.com). Many companies such as health insurers pay for outsourcing services that manage their servers and help them with problems and questions regarding the systems. Companies now demand much more from their subcontractors.
