227 Outcome: Information in Networks
What you’ll learn to do: describe the ways in which businesses can share information via networks, including cloud computing
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is present to hear it fall, does it make a sound? Likewise, if data is collected by an organization and no one knows it exists, is it really there? Well, of course the data is there, but how much is it worth if it can’t be shared? What if marketing collects data about consumer behavior, but there is no way to share that data with the research and development department that controls new product development? In this section you will learn how organizations share data using networks and cloud computing.
