Blue tooth An industrial specification for wireless Personal Area Networks (PANs), this technology allows users to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers,digital cameras, and video game consoles over a short range wireless connection.
Business intelligence '\'Business intelligence was the 1990s buzzword for the management information system (MIS) of the 1970s and the decision support system (DSS) and executive information system (EIS) of the 1980s. MIS implementations often failed because the hardware was too slow and the software was not sophisticated. Countless DSS, EIS and OLAP tools followed, which added functionality, but were often point solutions to the problem. Business Intelligence Software enables users to obtain enterprise-wide information more easily. Such products are considered a step up from the typical decision support tools because they more tightly integrate querying, reporting, OLAP, data mining and data warehousing functions. Many products claim BI capabilities, but the end goal is to let users gain analytics from information from their organizations numerous databases without having to wait for their IT departments to develop complex queries.\''
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) As the name suggests, this technology provides multiple users access to a certain physical medium - such as a radio channel. This is done through the use of different code sequences.
CRM A CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system An integrated information system that is used to plan, schedule and control the presales and postsales activities in an organization. CRM embraces all aspects of dealing with prospects and customers, including the call center, sales force, marketing, technical support and field service. The primary goal of CRM is to improve long-term growth and profitability through a better understanding of customer behavior. CRM aims to provide more effective feedback and improved integration to better gauge the return on investment (ROI) in these areas. Sales force automation (SFA), which became available in the late 1980s, was the first component of CRM. SFA, call center and automated field service operations were on parallel tracks in the 1990s and began to merge with marketing in the late 1990s to become CRM. Like ERP, CRM is a very comprehensive system, and a myriad of packages provide a myriad of options.
Dashboard This software is used to host smaller applications known as - widgets. When active, it allows users to create, delete, rearrange, and recreate the widgets on their desktop.
Data Mining It allows the user to scan through large amounts of data and pick out the relevant information. It uses modern experimental and observational methods to extricate information from large data sets.
ERP An ERP (Enterprise Resource
Planning) system is an integrated information system that serves all
departments within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing
industry, ERP implies the use of packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer. ERP modules may be able to
interface with an organization's own software with varying degrees of
effort, and, depending on the software, ERP modules may be alterable via the vendor's proprietary tools as well as proprietary or standard programming languages.
MIS Management Information Systems (MIS) is a system that optimizes collection, collation, and presentation of data and helps in solving business problems. Information systems in the operational sectors of organization are analyzed using this.
OLAP Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) is decision-support software that helps in analyzing multidimensional data. It relies on multidimensional database technology and the basis for analysis is provided by business intelligence applications. It's mostly used in sales, marketing, financial reporting, and budgeting.
RAID Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) allows you to store data on numerous hard disks. This tool is very efficient, because data is spread across disks and so operations take place faster. It's useful especially for storing huge chunks of information and is mostly used by Internet Service Providers.
