6 Information Technology Improvements to Aid Business


Article summary: There is an endless stream of information technology improvements coming outeach year and some of these have a particular impact on businesses and the ways in which they arerun. This article will consider 6 areas of development which have a particular bearing on businesses.


Operating Systems

The most fundamental element of business software is the operating system. Both iOS, for Mac, andWindows 8, for PC, have a business package which is tailored to benefit businesses. Developmentshave included making it easier to produce corporate emails and cross company signatures. Theoperating system is also a front piece of your company. When a customer or business associatewalks into your offices, they will undoubtedly notice which operating system your staff are using.The operating systems are made to be visually distinct and having dated software will reflect badlyon your company.

Management Software

Management software is designed to relieve the load of administration from your staff and makeorganisation far easier. By digitalising your processes, and by keeping a continuous record ofdevelopments, it is possible to develop a sound and solid record of finances, employment, workinghours, and far more. This is possible across branches through the same software and will allow foreasy productivity analysis and closer scrutiny of business practice.

Importance of Training

The development of software has made it so that employees also need to develop to meet thetimes. When changing any element of software or introducing employees to software they have notyet used, it is essential to train them effectively, and to industry standards. The best way to do thisis to ensure a member of your staff has a certificate IV in training and assessment so that it can becompleted in-house. Training is an essential element of running a company and software trainingshould be carried out regularly to ensure staff members are always developing with the times.

Access Improvements

Over the past few years there has been a boom of access. Everyone is now connected to the internetand everyone is using it in many multifaceted ways. The advent of the ‘cloud’ has made it possible toaccess everything from anywhere and the iPad has made it so that you can reach people at any time.

•Social Media

and more selective. Because of the huge amount of junk mail and adverts that people encounterthey now heavily vet what they read or watch. Learning to tap this market successfully is the key tosuccessful business.

• Outsourced Design

Accessibility has led to the advent of regular outsourcing. It is now possible to engage with designerssitting in their bedrooms at home and this has reduced the cost and value of such production. It hasenabled businesses to benefit from professional design at a far lower price and companies are nowable to refresh their image at a very rapid rate to stay fresh and sharp ahead of the crowd.

• Freelance Writing

As with designers, freelance writers are now accessible far more easily. Any advertisement for afreelance writer will receive a large number of immediate responses and this enables a more rigidselection process, forcing the quality of writing to improve.

RAM Storage based on Light















The idea is to remove the bottleneck between fiber optics and electronic circuits and create a light-speed version of today's DRAM architecture for high-speed data center applications.

According to a research paper published in Nature Photonics, the prototype has a capacity of 4 bits and transfers data at 40 Gbps. It features extremely low power consumption at just 30 nW. While it is far from a commercial product, the researchers believe that it is a foundation for the development of far more capable o-RAM devices with a storage capacity in the range of Kb or Mb. The NTT researchers believe that a 100 Kb o-Ram for all optical network routers device could be built by 2020. A 1 Mb o-RAM chip could be available by 2025.

Each memory cell of the new technology is a nano-photonic crystal that is made from indium phosphide that integrates a small strip of gallium arsenide phosphide. The flow of laser light is controlled via tiny holes on the outer portion of the cell, while a path in the middle of the crystal was created to allow light to enter and exit the device. Each cell can represent the values 1 or 0 by either transmitting light or blocking it by changing the refraction index of the material. Once a value is set, background light sourced from a laser maintains the refraction index.

The approach apparently enabled the scientists to store data for up to 10 seconds, which is up from 250 nanoseconds in previous similar devices.
