What is Meant by the Speed of Implementation? | 1.) It means in it's basic form how quick can a person get out the change or improvement that need to be made. |
What are the Factors when Considering the Capabilities & Limitations of ICT Systems? (9 In Total) | 1.) How Fast Repetitive Processing can be done. 2.) The Speed of Processing. 3.) The Data Storage Capacity. 4.) The Speed of Searching for Data. 5.) How Accurate the Data is. 6.) The Speed of Data Communication. 7.) The compatibility of Different Output Formats. 8.) If you are able to search and combine data. 9.) The security of data and processes. |
What is Fast Repetitive Processing in Relation to ICT Systems? | 1.) Many tasks on a ICT System are repetitive & need to be completed quickly. 2.) The faster the system it is the easier it is to complete these tasks quicker & more Efficiently. |
What can Fast Repetitive Processing in Relation to ICT Systems Be used for? (Give Examples) | 1.) Production of utility bills. 2.) Performing a mail merge. 3.) Sending the same e-mail to a large group of people. 4.) Setting up a style sheet so all documents produced by an organisation look similar. |
What is The Speed Processing in Relation to ICT Systems? | 1.) As some applications need to process information really quickly. They need as much Processing Power as the system can hold / produce. 2.) The Faster the processing is the quicker & easier the application can run. The application will be able to run more efficiently. 3.) The Speed of Processing is very Important to applications that dig & sort through huge amounts of data. |
What can The Speed of Processing in Relation to ICT Systems Be used for? (Give Examples) (Very High Speed Processing) | Big Data crunching applications can include things like: 1.) Weather forecasting. 2.) Systems which give stock market information. 3.) Production of utility bills (e.g., gas, electricity). |
What can The Data Storage Capacity in Relation to ICT Systems Be used for? | 1.) As Storage is cheap it is a huge beneficial part for Computer Systems. 2.) As Many new applications have been developed to look for patterns in stored data. 3.) Companies can understand customer buying habits better the more information they hold about them. |
What Problems can regarding Data Storage with Organisations ICT Systems? | 1.) As Organisations are not restricted by storage space or time taken to search for matching records. 2.) This means that they can take as long as they want to find a specific record without any legal action. |
What can The Speed of Searching in Relation to ICT Systems Be used for? | 1.) If large stores of data are held, then speed of searching for information is important. 2.) The quicker a piece of data can be searched for & then found the cheaper it is. 3.)

Audio can be used for visually impaired users. 2.) Files can be attached to e-mails so that user can further process the files if needed ect. 3.) Pod-casts can be used so user can listen whilst on the move. 4.) Hard copy's can be produced if further study of the information is needed. |
What is Beneficial for Allowing different output formats In ICT Systems? | 1.) The more output formats you have on a ICT System the easier it is to communicate to people. 2.) It also allows more efficient work to be done as you can easily email these different formats to anyone who will / might need them. |
What is meant by being Able to search and Combine Data in Relations to ICT Systems? & What is Beneficial for Being Able to search and Combine Data In ICT Systems? | Searches are often performed when little information is known: 1.) A hit and run accident where only part of the registration number is known along with a few other details such as colour of the car. 2.) Data from different sources can be used to build a better picture. The more the data from different sources the more accurate the Information. |
What is Beneficial for Improved security of data and processes In Relation to ICT Systems? (Examples) | 1.) Easier to secure data with user-IDs and passwords. 2.) Easier to back up data. 3.) Easier to transfer back-up data off-site. 4.) File permissions mean data can only be altered by authorised staff. 5.) Processes are performed by computers so harder to abuse. 6.)
