- Factors Affecting Choice of Digital Technology
- User experience
- dependent on whether the software or device meets user needs
- elderly person will want something simple
- graphics designer will want something more complex + powerful
- ease of use
- easier or time saving preferred
- Untitled
- many software not used fully because too complex
- Security
- must consider types of data they're storing
- dependent on whether the software or device meets user needs
- Performance
- elderly person will not consider performance
- graphics designer will look for higher performance
- Availability
- there when you want it
- e-commerce has allowed businesses to be open at all times
- always on means always available
- there when you want it
- User needs
- simplified user interface if staff aren't confident with IT
- password protected systems for sensitive data
- may need developer to use existing software
- Specification
- User needs influence specification
- User needs
- simplified user interface if staff aren't confident with IT
- password protected systems for sensitive data
- may need developer to use existing software
- User needs
- system for a hotel wouldn't need high processing power but would need lots of storage
- User needs influence specification
- Compatibility
- specification of the hardware affects choice of software
- compatibility means that where two or more things need to connect can do so
- failing to check compatibility can be costly
- Connectivity
- an individual may choose something based on its ability to connect to the internet or network reliably
- having a system that relies on wired connection when there are none available would be useless
- VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network, behaves like a WAN
- an individual may choose something based on its ability to connect to the internet or network reliably
- Efficiency
- How efficient a system needs to be depends on requirements of customers
- Implementation
- type of system may depend on speed of implementation
- business may prefer a system that retains elements of their current system
- type of system may depend on speed of implementation
- Productivity
- Business may make changes to their original system to increase productivity
