Week 12 reflective post

ITEC 610 course is coming to an end. This has been one really interesting course. Prof. Pang has prepared very challenging and intellectually stimulating course. I liked the most the chapters related to information security and Decision Support Systems. I think these two areas will develop with a great speed. Information security and Decision Support Systems are areas without which modern businesses cannot operate today. Mid size to large businesses have some many data points and metrics that needs to be examined on a daily basis, that it is becoming impossible to do this manually. This is where Decision Support Systems come in very handy, they can pull all the data and do the number crunching necessary to provide necessary information to make sound decisions in a matter of minutes.
In a similar way, information and IT security is another field that any business (even households these days) cannot operate without. IT security is crucial for running the business without interruptions and to gain the customer confidence. If customers don't have much confidence in a company, that company will not last very long. These (and more) are the topics that ITEC 610 course and Prof. Pang have prepared us for. Thank you all for spending together very insightful and intellectually stimulating semester.
