2 The Elite info systems has gone through
three phases of application change management. They are informal, production
promotion and software configuration management. In earlier informal phase the
software engineer who developed the code has to place it into production. Due
to poor documentation, there was difficulty in understanding and
differentiating between the new code and existing code. Then elite info systems
adopted change management process. The first ERP was implemented in the
company. The company also segregated the duties of the software professional in
the company based on the area of specialization and domain knowledge. According
to this phase the developer who develops the code could not be held responsible
for placing into production. Rather if the developer who wants to change the
code has to submit the request through web based application where the changes
are tracked and updated simultaneously. Automated workflow was established so
that requests could be routed to the right channel for approval. The SCM was
introduced into their development life cycle and this brought about a change in
the software production life cycle. The SCM process gave segregation of duties
which diminished the damage that could be caused by incompetence. Therefore in
software configuration management phase, segregation of duties ensured security
and reduced the risk. The various responsibilities of configuration migration,
enhancement of quality control and analysis and coordination with the change
management group.The tools used in the systems is application- change tracking
and development tool. Theyused this software to govern and archive the various
software versions. It stores all the code in the archiving version manager,
which enhance quality and simplifies troubleshooting.The process adopted helps
to improve the quality by managing change and predicting its effect. Consistent
governing rules were enforced throughout the deployment process. It provide
clear accountability which automated audits trails identified the required
approvals at each phase. Early intervention results in more repeatable, faster
deployments with fewer errors.Due to the deployment of this process, the three
main goals of change management were achieved which are; development of
quality, reduction by risk by helping ensure that processes are repeatable and
predictable, and reduction of development costs. The following are the benefits
of the process Increased developer productivity Improved IT service to internal
clients Enhanced scalability Employee acceptanceTherefore Elite Info Systems
concludes that SCM is to be made as an integral part of their production
process. The company regarded SCM not as a luxury, but as necessity.

deployed to improve the quality of change? Why?

and answer the following questions:
Laxmi bank is one of the largest private
sector banks of India. It has an extensive network of more than 200 branches.
It offers banking services to retail as well as corporate clients. The bank
faced a challenge in integrating multi-pronged database management system into
a centralized system. The IT department of the bank also realized that the
computing capabilities of its PCs and servers were not proportionately
distributed among all its branches. Each branch had its database management
system stored in a traditional way on the disk. The total cost of operating and
maintaining the current IT infrastructure was very high and the fundamental
shortcomings added to the costs. Moreover, there were also recurrent problems
due to the malfunctioning of the currently operational database management
system. Therefore, the bank’s top management decided to fix the problem and
operationalise a robust database management system. The bank hired an external
database technology consulting firm called AKPY Info systems Limited.AKPY
divided the entire IT infrastructure of the bank around two verticals. The
retail banking vertical and the corporate banking vertical. All the individual
database servers from the individual branches were removed. The entire database
system was made virtual such that the managers and the staff can access only
the required information (related to retail banking or corporate banking) from
the respective centralised data centers. There were only two such centralised
data centers (one for retail banking and another for corporate banking) that
were managed centrally. Staff and managers could access the information through
their PCs and laptops. Centralised database management system complemented the
security system bybringing in authentication through a unified ID management
server. Managers and officers of the bank were able to process half a million
transactions per month in real time after the new implementation. There were
significant savings in the cost and also in the consumption of power. Now there
were no problems with regard to imbalances in the load across various network
servers. Due to centralised data management, top management could keep an eye
on the functioning of various branches. Hence the cases of fraud and cheating
reduced considerably. The bank managers could also process the loan
applications in reduced time since the customer’s previous records could be
accessed at the click of the button and approval from the higher authorities
could be obtained in real time. Moreover the new system also brought in many
applications that helped local managers in the decision making process.

5 Read the following case study thoroughly
and answer the following questions:
India is the second most populous country in
the world. Even with abundant natural resources, it is still considered a
developing country. In India, it is necessary that research and development
that has taken place in the field of communication should reach rural areas.
This is because nearly 70% of the population lives in villages.In India,
physical infrastructure such as roads and highways is still not fully
developed. Wired communication requires digging of roads, laying of cables and
erecting towers. It involves tremendous human effort and enormous capital
outlay in the rural and hilly areas. Hence wireless communication implemented
through satellites can play a vital role.Realising the importance of satellite
communication, India implemented Satellite Instructional Television Experiment
(SITE) in 1975-76. This made it possible to broadcast educational and other
programs related to family planning, agriculture and health issues through
television sets even in the remote areas. This initiative helps in creating
awareness and also helps government in bringing developmental schemes to the
door step of the masses.An advantage of satellite communication is that,
satellites can amplify the signals and resend it to thousands of stations on
the ground at the same time. Digital TV and radio programmes can directly reach
the receivers found in the cars and homes through a satellite. For large
organisations, it has become much cheaper to transmit commercial information to
thousands of their dealers scattered across the globe by means of satellites.
Wired communication can easily get disrupted when the cables are damaged
intentionally or unintentionally. However, microwave satellite communication is
not affected even in the adverse environmental conditions. Thus, during the
times of natural disasters, the physical infrastructure of wired communication
may be destroyed. But still contact can be maintained with the affected people
through the satellites. In addition, remote sensing satellites can be used to
keep an eye on the enemy movements, determine the locations of natural
resources, warn about impeding cyclones and exactly pinpoint the presence of
fishes or submerged objects in the oceans or seas.Another form of wireless
communication is the mobile communication. Mobile handsets have made it
possible for the people not only to converse among themselves but also carry
out banking and e-commerce transactions. Satellites have also made it possible
the implementation of Global System for Mobile Communication(GSM) through which
wireless Internet can be provided.
a. Highlight the advantages of wireless
communication over wired communication.
b. In what ways, rural India has benefited
through satellite communication.

regards to unit consumption, charges, research, and analytics of Energy Usage.
The Intensity for both Heating Degree Days & Cooling Degree Days, and it
was suffering from the disadvantages of utilisation of multiple non-standard
spreadsheets. The crucial challenge of the organisation was to develop
excellence of data; time needed to gather & authenticate information,
distribute graphs & analysis with cyclic time series, and carry outother ad
hoc queries & difficult analysis.
Customer also wanted a BI solution that is
