Determine what information technology policies, laws, regulations, standards, and contracts are applicable in a given situation

Competency
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:
⦁ Develop an information technology operations plan
⦁ Determine what information technology policies, laws, regulations, standards, and contracts are applicable in a given situation
Scenario
Intelligent Computer Services (ICS) is a global technology innovator and implementer of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, with specialization in the finance and retail industries. ICS employs more than 150,000 individuals and has offices in 120 countries around the world, with its global headquarters in Dublin, Ireland. Its U.S. headquarters are in Chicago, IL, and other U.S. office locations include New York City; Austin, TX; Minneapolis, MN; and Seattle, WA, to name a few.
To support its global footprint, ICS has built and managed five global data centers in Dublin, Chicago, Albuquerque, Singapore, and Tokyo. These data centers support ISC business objectives, as well as data center colocation space for its clients in the developing world.
Ten years ago, ICS initiated a global assessment of its information technology infrastructure intending to start migrating its critical business solutions to cloud computing services. Unfortunately, as a result of the global economic recession, ISC had to put the initiative on hold to restructure its business operations to focus on growth and revenue improvements.
Recently, with a 30% ($43 billion) revenue increase from ten years ago, double-digit profits, and cash on hand of about $7.5 billion, ICS’s board of directors approved an executive proposal to migrate 75% of its critical technology infrastructure services to the cloud in three years.
The proposal aims to leverage native cloud services, software as a service (SaaS) solutions, infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platforms, and security services, as well as being multi-cloud. This cloud migration journey will include large human capital, finance, and talent development initiatives to ensure continuous delivery of first-class client services.
The CIO has approved the strategic plan and roadmap for the SaaS solution and the implementation of Oracle HCM Cloud (Project One). Additionally, the human capital transformation initiative is in progress. Both initiatives are expected to go live in the next six months. As ICS plans the global release of the HCM solution, it is essential to have a well-defined operations plan to support and maintain the SaaS solution and apply the recommendations from the transformation.
As part of the service acceptance team, you have been tasked with working with all key stakeholders to develop an IT operations plan for the new HCM processes and cloud solution.
Directions
⦁ Strategic Plan and Mission
Explain how the organization’s strategic plan and mission relate to the operations plan. The plan should demonstrate an alignment with the organization’s mission and how the operations plan supports strategic planning efforts.
⦁ Business Continuity
The plan should identify the tactics chosen to ensure that personnel and assets are protected and are able to function quickly in the event of an interruption to service. This might include a schedule to run periodic maintenance tests to ensure that system recovery works properly, or implementation of employee training in advance of an emergency. Another identified tactic could be development of a communication plan that would prepare other organization members for disruptive events.
⦁ Vendor Management
The plan should identify a process to guide the organization in how it will engage with its vendors. This could include strategies to reduce potential risks related to vendors (e.g., due diligence) or to address underperforming vendors. It might also include developing a central system for storing, managing, and reporting on vendor-related information.
⦁ Compliance and Standards
The plan should address the relevant regulations related to legal compliance and industry standards, and how the organization plans to comply with these in its day-to-day activities. For instance, this could include identifying specific security measures to protect personally identifiable information.
⦁ SLAs and NDAs
The plan should determine how service level agreements (SLAs) and nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) might impact IT operations and systems planning. For instance, this might define the level of service expected from a vendor or what will happen if a vendor underperforms.

How can Thuisbezorgd increase profitability on waiting times?

Increasing Profitability on Waiting Times: A Case of Thuisbezorgd
Introduction
The time an individual must wait between requesting a service or action and when the service or action takes place is referred to as the waiting time. Restaurant businesses can refer to waiting time, as the time required ordering drinks and food. -Time taken for the meals to arrive at the table once an order has been ordered. -Time required clearing the table after the food has been eaten. -Time required receiving support or ad hoc servicing (McIntyre & Chow, 2020). -Time needed to request a bill. One of the primary goals of a business is to reduce the amount of waiting times between different activities. `
Problem statement
Waiting times are by far the second highest cost for a business; as such, they need to be lowered as much as possible because they pose a significant risk to any company.
Purpose/objective
This research decided to investigate how to increase profitability on waiting times as a solution to businesses on how they can best cut their waiting time costs while at the same time benefiting from an increase in profits.
Thuisbezorgd is a global leader in online food delivery services, connecting customers and restaurants through its platforms.

Thuisbezorgd, as an online food delivery services, offers online ordering, payment, and, on occasion, order fulfilment. The organization aims to become the world’s best food delivery service.
Limitations and delimitations of the research
This study will focus on Thuisbezorgd, an online food delivery business. The sample will be confined to company employees, with the study sampling 12 employees. Further, the study limits itself to employees’ experience, hence the decision to pick management and employees with at least five years of experience working in the company. The study limitations include time constraints and the unwillingness of certain employees to be involved. Further, management is unwilling to divulge certain information regarding profitability as they feel it is exposing the company.
Importance of study
Thuisbezorgd faces a waiting time problem, which affects profitability hence the need to increase profitability on waiting time. Analyzing this problem allows researchers and companies to gain sufficient knowledge on handling waiting times concerning profits. The lack of research on this topic will negatively affect Thuisbezorgd profitability. To solve this problem, there is a need to analyze the company’s waiting times in addition to other data. This study will then analyze the data and draw inferences, providing a solution to the problem. The study will offer insight into waiting times and their relationship to profitability.
Central research question
How can Thuisbezorgd increase profitability on waiting times?
Sub research questions
How will waiting time affect the profitability of Thuisbezorgd?
How long or short are Thuisbezorgd’s waiting times?
How do waiting times affect customer relationships with Thuisbezorgd?
In what other ways do waiting times affect Thuisbezorgd?
What are the benefits and impacts of waiting times on Thuisbezorgd?
The study will analyze the waiting time at Thuisbezorgd using the company as the sole sample. The researcher will analyze the waiting times in the company while also employing secondary data obtained from the company’s financial books between the financial years 2016-2021, which will provide insight into the relationship between the two variables.
