This week’s journal article was focused on the Complexity of Information Systems Research in the Digital World. Complexity is increasing as new technologies are emerging every day. This complexity impacts human experiences. Organizations are turning to digitally enabled solutions to assist with the emergence of digitalization.Please review the article and define the various technologies that are emerging as noted in the article. Note how these emerging technologies are impacting organizations and what organizations can to do to reduce the burden of digitalization.Be sure to use the UC Library for scholarly research. Google Scholar is also a great source for research. Please be sure that journal articles are peer-reviewed and are published within the last five years.The paper should meet the following requirements:3-5 pages in length (not including title page or references)APA guidelines must be followed. The paper must include a cover page, an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.A minimum of five peer-reviewed journal articles.The writing should be clear and concise.

This week’s assigned film, Alive Inside, showed people re-discovering music that had been meaningful to them at a much earlier time in their life, and explored how music deeply shapes our memories and identities. Although the film focused on dementia patients, music has this power for all of us, helping form our sense of self, and creating powerful shared experiences with others.Imagine yourself 50 years from now, and choose two songs, one that you think you will remember as being meaningful from this current time, and another that was meaningful to you during your childhood or an earlier period of life. They could be songs that you especially enjoyed or identified with, or that you associate with an important memory, place, or people.For each song, write a paragraph briefly answering the following 2 questions:1 Why do you think the song is especially meaningful for you?2 How do you think those meanings relate to song’s sonic qualities? (i.e., not just the lyrics/words)In other words, in addition to telling us why the song matters for you, try to connect that emotional experience of the song with the way it sounds. In describing sound, you do not have to use the terms discussed in the Levitin reading, though you may do so if that helps. Describing the sound of music can be difficult, but just do your best to listen carefully to the way the song sounds, and then say something about how you think that affects what it means for you.Label the 2 paragraphs as “Current song” and “Earlier song,” and provide a link to each song if available. Also, please do not criticize anyone else’s musical taste or feel at all embarrassed about your own! We each experience music in our own ways.

Using the IS alignment work and the financial analysis from Week 6, submit a complete IS strategic plan. Your paper should include at least 5 references from peer-reviewed journals associated with how other companies are using the technologies you are recommending. The strategy should include the technologies you plan to implement, your plan for sourcing the IS work, and the governance model you plan to use to sustain the IS operation over the long term. You should include specific projects with a timeline for implementation in your strategy. Make sure you also include the financial analysis.Your IT strategy should also specify some key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the effectiveness of IT. The website below can help you identify the KPIs for your strategy.The website ITIL Key Performance Indicators (Links to an external site.) explains some of the key performance indicators used for IT service management in the ITIL governance framework.Review the IT Strategy Template.Your total paper should be 5-7 pages of text in APA format, not counting the title and reference pages, and not counting any tables or figures. Make sure you include in-text citations. Please use the template attached above. In developing your IT strategy, please refer to the resources from previous weeks. You can reference these resources in your paper, but you must also reference at least 5 peer-reviewed articles. Make sure on your references page you include a reference with the URL to the case study you chose, in addition to at least 5 references from peer-reviewed journals.

AssignmentDeterrence is designated to dissuade potential violators from launching threat and criminal acts against organizations. Aura Security in physical security is often heightened by security professional measures such as signs placed along perimeters near openings of the facility. Aura security strives to create strong phycological deterrent warning offenders and keeping them away from the facility. Deterrence has very limited or no physical security mechanism and Detection apparatus is used in most facilities to detect perpetrators. Such devices include devices closed circuit television (CCTV), intrusion sensors, duress alarms, weapons screening devices and protective dogs. Traditionally, these devices are installed to identify violators upon arrival in the facility.The university president is very concerned about external threats. What countermeasures such as deterrence or detection must be implemented on campus to enhance student, faculty and staff security?

According to the authors, privacy and security go hand in hand; and hence, privacy cannot be protected without implementing proper security controls and technologies. Today, organizations must make not only reasonable efforts to offer protection of privacy of data, but also must go much further as privacy breaches are damaging to its customers, reputation, and potentially could put the company out of business.  As we continue learning from our various professional areas of practice, its no doubt that breaches have become an increasing concern to many businesses and their future operations.   For this discussion, find an example of a security breach which compromised data records at a company in the same industry as you will be using in your final paper. Summarize the breach, discuss the data that was lost and identify security controls that you would recommend be in place (be certain to remember to cite sources) that could have prevented this breach from occurring. Remember to critical respond appropriately to two other leaners for full points.Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. Use proper citations and references in your post.

Many business environments have both visible and invisible physical security controls. You see them at the post office, at the corner store, and in certain areas of your own computing environment. They are so pervasive that some people choose where they live based on their presence, as in gated access communities or secure apartment complexes. Alison is a security analyst for a major technology corporation that specializes in data management. This company includes an in house security staff (guards, administrators, and so on) that is capable of handling physical security breaches. Brad experienced an intrusion—into his personal vehicle in the company parking lot. He asks Alison whether she observed or recorded anyone breaking into and entering his vehicle, but this is a personal item and not a company possession, and she has no control or regulation over damage to employee assets. This is understandably unnerving for Brad, but he understands that she’s protecting the business and not his belongings. When or where would you think it would be necessary to implement security measures for both?

If a schedule is delayed with respect to its original plan once resources are added, then, why aren’t resources included in the project plan from the very beginning? What would prevent a project manager from doing this? Must be roughly 400 words. The 6th edition of the PMBOK has changed its “Project Human Resource” knowledge area to “Project Resource Management”. This implies that project resources do not have to be people. Consider what resources other than human resources that you might apply to a project. Describe three examples and share within the discussion forum.
