Decision Support System (DSS)
Assuring a safe and secure it (IT) atmosphere for that exchange of business has been a significant problem. The degree related to the task has been increasing annually, as assailants become a little more well-informed, more driven, and more vivid within their endeavours. Based on a lead security professional at International Data Corporation, a worldwide supplier of marketplace data and advisory services to the IT network, "ising brand new assault vectors, more specific activities, conformity, and also the adding of recent technologies around the corporate facilities have been all elements creating a huge effect on the general risk for an organization" (IDC, 2006). Considering that corporate costs have been often a good sign related to the degree of worry about a problem, security has been clearly on top of numerous IT executives' listings. Based on IDC, the worldwide marketplace for companies of information security solutions has been…...

Decision Support System
Executive Presentation Paper for Decision Support System (DSS)

Communication remains a crucial element for the success of any organization, relationship or industry. The factor that makes it so crucial is the aspect of decision making in the practice. Communication and decision-making are simply inseparable. It is impossible to make a conclusive and quality design that concerns and affects more than one person. This is especially so for the business and corporate organizations in the world those operate in the lines of consultations and collective decision-making. A conclusive and active model and methodology of making a decision in such organization is the use of effective decision-making system. A decision-making system should facilitate proper and intensive analysis of the information available to make a decision for the future.

Useful DSS will challenge and eventually change decision makers. By contrast, management information systems (MIS) provide output but no real impetus for change in the person receiving it. Interacting with DSS will provide to be new and challenging for most decision makers and will provide new perspective on the decision making process that are attractive and understandable yet innovative. By furnishing a new way to see problems and opportunities DSS eventually change the users decision-making process and, along with it, the user.
Decision Support systems are designed to help support decisions involving complex problems that are formulated as semi-structured. Because such problems remain resistant to complete computerization, a solution per se is not the goal of DSS; instead they support the decision process that leads to a solution.

In summary, the decision support system must provide insights into order rates by CD by month, factoring in the relative popularity of artists and its effect on pricing strategies over time. Factoring in seasonality and the specific times of the year where new albums are introduced will further assist in the forecasting process. What the decision support system must also do is provide an upper and lower level forecast by CD to ensure profits are made or at least the store breaks even on each CD. After taking all of these factors into account, the decision support system can be used to create a model that will predict, within a range of values, what the specific inventory carrying positions should be by artist, by actual CD, and also by month given the genre and pricing of the music as well.

ONCOCIN has been used successfully in some contexts, but mainly as a support system and as a source of additional data. No system, especially if analyzed by someone who is less-than-expert (as were the usual users of the first incarnation of the system) can replace human intelligence. Today, clinicians are increasingly are using computerized structured data entry systems to reduce errors in the process of clinical documentation. Guided systems such as ONCOCIN can reduce errors and oversights through a template-guided formula (Fielstein 2006, p.249). But this, once again, is no substitute for professional intelligence reviewing the process and making informed and individualized assessments. ONCOCIN is an aide, not a replacement for trained expertise.

sketch out a threefold process that includes work performed by the stakeholders involved in DSS. I make the case that each stage is crucial and for one stage to succeed it must be preceded and succeeded by the competent completion of the other two stages. In short, the end user must be presented with a list of options that are complete, adequately capturing the essence of the technological construct that the end user wishes to procure. The second stage, which involves the sales agent who interfaces with the customer, does not always involve personal with an expertise allowing him or her to fully anticipate the needs of the end user. Therefore, it is crucial that the third stage -- involving the Excel programmer -- includes as much specificity as possible in the template that the programmer constructs in order to assist the sales agent in the process of obtaining…...

Clinical Decision Support Systems:
Decision support systems were first developed and implemented in the corporate world in order to support business management. In the past few years, these support systems have been integrated into health care organizations to provide a sharpened evaluation capacity to data warehousing and data mining. The refined data analysis ability can result in enhanced patient care and diagnoses through assessment of several symptoms, forecasting of some drug interaction results, and other factors. As decision support systems are increasingly integrated into health care organizations and facilities, they have become important elements of health care systems. Actually, clinical decision support systems have been crucial in helping advanced practice nurses to make informed decisions and provide quality health care.

Definition of these Systems:

Clinical decision support systems can be described as interactive decision support systems computer software that are designed to help physicians and other practitioners in the health care system with…...

Yet only 5 to 10% of these documents are readily available to managers for them to use in decision making. There is also the problem of documents not being standardized in a uniform pattern or structure. Managers and IT staff need a way to transform these documents into formats that can be compared and processed in order to support decision making. Document-driven DSS is making this concept a real possibility (Document -- Driven DSS Resources, 2009).
Document-driven DSS are support systems designed to convert documents into valuable business data that can be used to make decisions. "hile data-driven DSS rely on data that is already in a standardized format that lends it to database storage and analysis, document-driven DSS makes use of data that cannot easily be standardized and stored" (Decision Support Systems, 2009). There are three primary forms in which data can be used in document driven DSS. These…...

Decision Analysis System
Computers have brought a great change in our lives. A software program called spreadsheet turns the computer screen into a paper sheet one is working on. This program saves time by reducing the errors and repetitions of calculations. It is commonly used in physics labs in order to save time by getting accurate results and accumulating proper data in labs. Spreadsheets have traditionally been used by accountants for the purpose of bookkeeping and budgeting, when actually they can prove to be amazing tools for engineers and scientists as well. Using a spreadsheet, entered raw data could be manipulated and plotted through few easy commands. Furthermore, due to their built-in capability to easily plot data, spreadsheets prove to be especially useful (Karmakar et al., 2007).

Initially introduced in the corporate world in late 1970s and the early 1980s, it proved to be an immediate success. The usefulness, power of…...

Semi-structured decision-making processes involving IT systems allow the decision maker to exercise substantial autonomy but constrain that autonomy within the boundaries of specified outcomes of automatic information and situational synthesis. In principle, semi-structured decision making involving IT systems may simply limit the available choices of the decision maker based on objective data or other situation-dependent information that must be incorporated into the decision in a manner determined by IT processes outside of the ability of the decision maker to control.
The Role of Technology Systems in Structured Decision Making

In structured decision making, the decision maker cannot exercise independent decision-making but must rely exclusively on outcomes determined by IT systems based on the data inputs into the system. Within that process, the human decision maker is merely one component within an automated process that provides no autonomy over decisions or any opportunity to make independent decisions.

Best of all, any initiative in these areas, priced fairly for the island natives, delivers significant social value, or economic good for the nation and abodes by Mr. Morale's belief that in the long run, economics drives everything needs to be added to that by doing these core processes well, his company is doing good. The social conscience of Mr. Morales is also clear, and the ability to take the company's respected process-centric approach to problem-solving and apply it to the needs of Kava while at the same time earning a profit is a win/win for both the company and the nation. The concentration on healthcare especially and the development of a pediatrics clinic, potentially even underwritten by the local government for the citizens would also be significant in its contribution and revenue potential.

Chase is an interesting one. Indeed, her symptoms are not overt or over the top but they are impossible to miss when a trained eye is affixed on her. It is clear from those symptoms as well as the backstory of Ms. Chase that she has a lot of skeletons in her closet and they are related to things like family, her lack of a social network or support system and so forth. It is clear that she is isolated and struggling and thus any therapy or other methodologies to get her to a better place need to be focused on that. Lynn Chase needs to take control of her emotions and her life and she cannot allow herself to be held hostage by things that she cannot control.
