    Week 3: Checkpoint: Technological Advancements in Com

    IBM Lotus Connections and Near-Time share similarities in enabling the users to blog, wiki, and mashup because these collaborative Web technology tools are equipped with the social computing abilities. Both of these advanced technological tools are both easy to install, without any IT’s assistance, and inexpensive (economical). Near-Time allows the users to sort out the information source and develop new informal channels; in contrast, IBM Lotus Connections does not allow users the same information sorting and creating functions. Making use of these advanced technological tools for wiki, store and retrieve data, and blogging seems practical and beneficial at my workplace; however, my job does not always need these highly developed technological devices to accomplish the work goals.…

    Organizational Presence

    Establishing a presence is arguably the most important step in building a successful organization. In the past a presence referred primarily to a physical location and any advertising efforts made to build an organizations reputation and spread the word of its existence. With the endless advancements in technology and the expanded approach that society takes to nearly every aspect of life, the word presence as it relates to an organization takes on an entirely different meaning. There are very few people if any at all who remain untouched by the technological advancements that now dictate the way that business is transacted. Most organizations have adjusted their marketing strategy to include both a physical and digital presence. Advertising on the internet has become equally if not more important than doing so using the traditional methods.…

    Technological Advancements in Communication

    One of the newest technologies that was discussed was an interactive spreadsheet software-as-a-service provider called Spreadsheet.com. (Citrano, V., pp 14). It is explained as a way to share translation tasks across the world with one program, in which it uses columns for designated languages. This cleans up the translation confusion that comes along with the use of many different translators deciphering languages during the communication process. It was also explained to be beneficial through its design of including other key people during decision-making processes (Citrano, V., pp15). This is something that can allow a team that is collaborating together to feel that they are all part of important decisions within a company, in turn improving performance. The most beneficial aspect of this software is its ability to be used by more companies quicker due to its affordability. At a mere $25-$149 per month, it is accessible to even the smallest start-up companies.…
