Case Study

1. Could the 2004 Athens Olympics have been a success without all of the networks and backup technologies?

As I analyzed the question above, I thought that the 2004 Athens Olympics will succeed without using all the networks and backup technologies by recording all the information needed and the result if and only if there were no problems and destructions occurred in the Olympics and it’s also because even today there are things that come to succession without using any technologies. Those are transactions that are manually done. But in terms of time frame, the succession of the Athens Olympics will take a long time and not accurate.



2. The 2004 Olympics is a global business. Can a business today succeed without information technology? Why or why not?

Yes a today’s business will still be a business without using information technology or in short it will succeed. It is simply because the success of one’s business does not rely only on the technology that are being used but in many aspects such as relationship towards clients. The advantage only to a business when using IT are it makes the business still commit its success in a short period of time, transactions are being processed more easier, faster and comfortably and increase profit by the decreasing the number of staffs doing a particular transaction and a part of a business .



3. Claude Philipps said dealing with “crazy scenarios of what might happen in every area: a network problem, staff stopped in a traffic jam, a security attack . . . everything that might happen,” was the reason for so much testing. Can you think of other businesses that would require “crazy scenario” testing? Explain.

Life insurance business such as, (SSS) Social Security System. This business requires “crazy scenario” testing because this kind of business keep and store all the data of their clients and it should be kept privately so that no one will know about it. It needs several testing because it also uses network connection for an easier process of transaction but security must still be considered because of possible attacks. This business is related to Olympics.
