Monitoring Social Netowrks

Social media monitoring is a way for companies to advertise to a person's liking. Many people already know this, but on Facebook, twitter, and Myspace, there are ads all around you based on your interest alone. Using social media these days is for business and gets companies to target people for what they like and what they have interest in.

If a company wants to get a product put out there, going to something like twitter, which has become one of the fastest growing social media sites, would be the best way to do it. Twitter allows you to promote a product, others to retweet your product and for the amount of people that are active on twitter, it would be the best way for others to get to know about the product. Another way a company gets its product out is by the google tab. The more well known the company is, the higher up it will be placed on the google search. This also allows companies to monitor what people are looking for exactly and how they can change there products in order to satisfy the people.

This is why using social media sits are so important to business now, and why more businesses that dont use them need to start. Twitter for example allows you to directly tweet at someone, or add a hashtag which singles out the product that you are looking for. This is a great way for a person to find out the reviews of a product and what people are saying about the product. The best thing most monitoring companies could  do was monitor people. This gives companies a inside perspective of what people want or how they feel about certain products.

Systems

Systems in todays do a lot more than what many people actually think. Any system that is used in a specific field is there for a vital reason and if removed, could hinder the entire field. Even then, a system can be related to anything that functions on an everyday basis. Systems are set up in order to help something run more smoothly. One of the most common systems that can help do this is an enterprise recourse planning system. This system has the capability to run and entire vital business operation in a global organization.

One of the main types of enterprise planning systems is the two-tier enterprise planning system, which allows the company to run two of the ERP (enterprise planning systems at once). With two-tier ERP, the regional distribution, production, or sales centers and service providers continue operating under their own business model—separate from the main company, using their own ERP systems[1]. This current system allows companies to run two types of systems at the same time while still being able to monitor the entire company at once.

The enterprise recourse planning system helps a company survive, compete, and thrive in today’s world. ERP software typically consists of multiple enterprise software modules that are individually purchased, based on what best meets the specific needs and technical capabilities of the organization.[2]This helps a company grow in the needs of what the company is looking for.

Anything in today’s world can be looked at as system though. A system is defined as a set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole, in particular[3]. The human body, our solar system, and even most businesses are considered to be a system. This is done by everything working together in order to function. This is why many of the bigger companies use planning systems and other forms of information systems. The goal is to make the company or business or whatever the system is working for, function better.

FedEx uses all four of the main processes everyday in order to deal with its numerous amounts of shipments sent each day. Each day, millions of shipments are sent or received at a FedEx store, which are stored into a database. This system is also used to track shipments and packages around the world based on real time data that can be received from the drivers. The data can is stored until the product or a local FedEx truck picks up package. Once the product is picked up the driver is able to easily ship packages to the correct locations by using the information that was sent to him from the store. A driver drops off the package at its final sore location, an email is automatically sent out to the consumer as well as a phone call. This is done by the system informing the FedEx store that the package has reached its final destination. This system also allows drivers to notify a person approximately what time a package will show up its final location by real world tracking. If a product is to be shipped to a person’s house, the driver is notified of the location of the house as well as the approximate time the package will be delivered.

FedEx would be an example of an E-Commerce Information system due to that fact that all information is all stored online. The company also has a place where customers can leave feedback in order to inform what the company has done right or wrong. The managers and owners take this feedback and try to figure out new ways to work with customers in order to receive the best feedback possible. FedEx became one of the largest shipping companies in the world because of the satisfaction it gives to its customers. Being able to provide that fastest and safest shipping, it gives the people the trust in order to continue there service.
