Answer 1

Yeah,

First of all, I'm appriciating your question which is realistic. But I can answer your question without crossing my company norms.

Now i'm giving explantion about my company. I'm working in a software company as SAP Basis administrator and I'm not mentioning name,sorry for that. It provides IBM integrated services, SAP integrated services , B2B services and SOA related designing services and ofcourse it provides many other services. Now a days all companies are working on integration,because maintaining business is ot a small thing. All integrated services makes it as simple by ptroviding connectivity between different businee units.

SAP is an software package that designed to integrate all areas of Biusiness like accountinmg,sales,production and human resourcing.SAP is an Enterprise resource planning (ERP) model that deals business process management software that allows an organization to use a system of integrated applications to manage the business and automate many back office functions related to technology, services and human resources.

Coming to IBM integration, IBM constantly introdusing tools to automize their woork like WTX, MB and MQ.

personal knowledge management tool:

Personal knowledge management is a collection of processes that a person uses to gather, classify, store, search, retrieve and share knowledge in their daily activities and the way in which these processes support work activities.

In our company we are using ProProfs Knowledge Management software.

while selecting PKM tools we should consider several points.

• Allowing team members to share Knowledga and content in easiest way.
• Powerful analytics that tells you what people have and what they are looking for, allowing them to fill the gap
• Integration with existing systems.
• Analytics that gives you deep insights into team member's progress and performance.

Security:

Every company shold keep their data in secure way.We all know the most securing OS is Unix. In our company to secure data, we are using penetration testing.There are many tools to do penetration testing. The main theme of penetration testing is checking of authorizations with out knowing passwords, and it finds hole and will find solution before attcker does.Having a second set of eyes check out a critical computer system is a good security practice. Testing a new system before it goes on-line is also a good idea. Another reason for a penetration test is to give the IT department at the target company a chance to respond to an attack. The activities that penetration testers performed are listed below:

• Find Holes Now Before Somebody Else Does
• Report Problems to Management
• Verify Secure Configurations
• Security Training For Network Staff
• Discover Gaps In Compliance
• Testing New Technology

3.

Every company manages their infrastructure in certain hierarchy. It is tough thing to one person to manage all the antire services.Each and every hirarchy level provides their sercvice. For example suppose our company needs some human resources, then there is a separate team to handle it. For contact with clients and makes to get projects there is a saperate team. The entire success depends on way of aranging differents components. That all depends on mindset of the man who leads. It is not explainary.

Thank you.
