MIS- What do you think are the risks associated with buiseness and it/is change?.

Behind the NCCC's success as one of the leading company in the country. We can't deny that it has a must effective Management Information System, when it comes to business efficiency and services.

Now, let me share to you some important facts and details I'd gather from the interview we had conduct last July 4,2009 (Saturday) among with my co-IT students to Mr. Hervin Piklat, the NCCC- Hardware Security Supervisor.

Regarding with the question, What do you think are the risks associated with business and IT/IS change?.

The following are some of the important discussions and explanations of Mr. Hervin Piklat.

According to Sir Hervin:

“In everything we do and to pursue our goals, the case is not actually a risks but a challenge in our management”.

In defend, Sir Hervin sight an specific examples of situations.

Example 1: Why our company has an Merchandise Management System (MMS)?.

At the start, NCCC only issue a manual receipt ti the customers. Now, pertaining to a situation that there are two competitors with the same sales and same price of products. Now, if am the customer, of course i must prefer to choose the one with fast accommodation of services compared to the other.

Risk Involve:

In that situation, the management will plan for the suitable system that can be applicable for the business proficiency.

Example 2: OS of the Management.

Comparing to the 2000 Os and 2008 OS application, of course the 2008 OS is much better to apply that the 2000 OS, because it's more advance, efficient and have many new features than the 2000 OS.

Risk Involve:

If the Management may not adopt the 2008 OS, it may lead to a possible new features that the Management will not make. If this is the case, the competency of the NCCC may lessen compared to it's other business competitors.

Example 3: Firewall

The situation is comparing the old to the latest firewall. A firewall have an Unified Technology System (UTM).

Risk Involve:

If the company will decide to change the UTM?

The first thing that the management should priorities is to upgrade their systems information because if not, it may cause restrictions to the system's security.

NOTE:

“In every IT change there is a risk involve”.

With these examples, Sir Hervin added that before any risks and decisions to pursue the management should make first a business case study and analysis to determine the most profitable ways and steps in business plans and changes.
