My plan to use what I have learned in the IT Management class.
The first step after learning information systems is the application process. Before understanding IT from a management viewpoint, I left relevant data analyzing techniques out of my process. For example, I often use handwritten notes to pass or save information that I would misplace and have to rewrite again. My past mindset revolved around saving space in the database because my desk or filing cabinet can hold it. I have begun the process of creating more detailed database warehouses as I would for the products I sell. The steps of acquiring data include:
- Obtaining social data, expert knowledge purchased data, and operational databases.
- Cleansing data and data extraction
- Organize and relation to data
- Catalog data for maintaining a record
Whatever you can think of in the business, there might be a way to make your life easier when it comes to IT management. In my case, for example, using inventory management software can increase business efficiency with deadlines and low inventory warnings in place. Especially in an eCommerce store where failing to track a stock is detrimental to an online business. Nothing is more embarrassing when a customer is shopping on a site. Without knowledge, they place an order of an item that is no longer in inventory. Nothing reflects more poorly on your website because of the lack of a tracking system in place to keep customers updated.
