Trend mobile technology

In the past year 2012, the evolution of technology has leapt unexpectedly.
The technology boom of the new generation results in terms of
"Cell phone and Internet" (Smartphone, Tablet, iPhone, etc.) which, rather than being separate realities complement.
However, the development of these types of technology comes a point
wherein converge, and when the network is a global communications
opens and exceeds the expectations of its creators, Internet no longer
exclusively for the military and government, and combined with the services
telephony becomes a social interaction media currently
is present in all areas of daily life.
Today, these technologies are combined in a single, the cellular and
not limited to the function of two people communicate with each other, but now
have evolved to include modalities such as Internet access in almost
all its aspects (data, mp3, teleconference, transmission
photo files and videos, etc..).
This brings countless advantages, accelerate the pace of obtaining
information, facilitates communication, reduces emissions and response times;
ie transforms everyday life into an event technology,
all this tied to economic growth of societies, and beyond
all changes in the natural order of things that the technology generates.
Having seen so many wide and constant changes
that mobile telephony and the Internet have been issued on the global community,
arises in my interest in further informatin on the issues that shape this revolution in our own environment.
To meet the above, in this paper we proposed the development of a software application with mobile computing platform, providing access to information located on a platform database on a Web server, through mobile devices such as cell phones.
The application provides for the registration and monitoring of proprietary information
a pharmaceutical entity, ie the relevant information of the client,
purchasing products and prescription medicines.
This means customers the ability to self manage their comprasen anytime and anywhere without having to physically attend the pharmacy branches and with only the help of a modern cell phone.
Proposed turn developing a web application platform make it accessible on the Intranet, by providing additional features like be: user registration, stock control and drug products counter.
It also proposed the development of a Web site accessible from the Internet,
that appears to be the site of a pharmacy, which contemplates functions
e-commerce such as: customer registration, sale of products and / or drugs
on-line, allowing a customer to make your purchase so virtual.

Differences OLTP vs Data Warehouse

Traditional systems of transactions and data warehousing applications are polar opposites in terms of their design requirements and operating characteristics.
OLTP applications are organized to execute transactions for which they were made, for example, move money between accounts, a charge or credit, a return of inventory, etc.. Furthermore, a data warehouse is organized based on concepts such as: customer invoice, products, etc.
Another difference lies in the number of users. Normally, the number of users of a data warehouse is less than one OLTP. It is common to find that transactional systems are accessed by hundreds of users simultaneously, while only tens Data Warehouse. OLTP systems perform hundreds of transactions per second while a single query of a Data Warehouse can take minutes. Another factor is that transactional systems frequently are smaller in size to the data warehouses, this is because a data warehouse information can consist of several OLTP's.
There are also differences in the design, while an extremely normalized OLTP, of a Data Warehouse tends to be denormalized. The OLTP typically consists of a large number of tables, each with few columns, while in a data warehouse is the lower number of tables, but each of them tends to be greater in number of columns.
The OLTP is continuously updated by operational systems every day, while the Data Warehouse are updated periodically batch.
OLTP structures are very stable, rarely change, while those of Data Warehouses derivatives are constantly changing their evolution. This is because the types of queries to which they are subject are varied and it is impossible to foresee all in advance.
Improving Information Delivery: complete, correct, consistent, timely and accessible. Information that people need, in the time you need it and in the format you need.
Improve Decision Making Process: With more support information are obtained faster decisions, and also the business people acquire greater confidence in their own decisions and those of the rest, and achieved a greater understanding of the impacts of their decisions .
Positive Impact on Business Processes: when people are given access to a better quality of information, the company can achieve on its own:
   · Eliminate delays business processes resulting from incorrect, inconsistent and / or nonexistent.
   · Integrate and optimize business processes through sharing and integrated information sources.
   · Eliminate the production and processing of data that is not used or required as a result of poorly designed applications or no longer used.

CRM News Software Data: Choosing the Public or Private Cloud

Still, the transition to the cloud still leaves some company leaders wondering about the right place to host their customer relationship management data. "The cloud," as experts have come to call the collection of data centers storing corporate information, still has some faults. Sharing data center resources carries the perceived risks of security issues and the real threat of downtime. Companies willing to take on extra risk generally enjoy heightened response times and greater productivity. But media coverage of high profile outages at major data centers has dampened some CIO's enthusiasm for distributed computing.

Therefore, some CRM software vendors have created service packages that include, in their terms, a "private cloud." Like a traditional dedicated server rack, resources are used only by a single client company. However, with help from blade servers, RAID storage arrays, and other tools, vendors promise the ability to ramp up quickly during times of peak demand--without relying on a shared server farm.

According to industry analysts, recessions often force companies to make hard decisions about their vendors and platforms. While some CRM software companies have tentatively extended invitations to the "private cloud," other vendors rely on the scalability and redundancy of the public cloud for their clients' success. Either way, may current CRM software subscribers will spend time over the coming months requesting quotes and exploring the kind of data infrastructure necessary to take their businesses to the next level.
