TL;DR: This paper examines business processes in retail in rendering account of sales and clarifies the content of different types of costs (which are associated with providing information about business processes) and on this basis an identification of opportunities for their reduction may be found.
Abstract: The main task of the article is clarifying the content of different types of costs (which are associated with providing information about business processes) and on this basis an identification of opportunities for their reduction may be found. In this regard, this paper examines business processes in retail in rendering account of sales. A special place in the article is devoted to the analysis of existing models of information technology systems in commercial enterprises. The important question for the adaptation of web applications in commercial enterprises has been developed. Factors contributing adaptation of Web applications in business practices are taken in account. Factors hindering their adaptation (such as the relationship of a web application with cash registers – a problem that is not widely discussed) are also reviewed. A discussion of various options for improving both the technological model of the information system in enterprises and specific guidelines for the quantification of the proposed approaches to reduce costs is made.
TL;DR: The objectives of the CARDIOMEDIA project were to develop and evaluate the feasibility of a coronary multimedia data record stored on an optical card and communicable on Intranet within the hospital.
TL;DR: The proposed scheme presents a scheme that can manage database efficiently based on Delphi to dynamically visit the database and inquire the historical data, and a mechanism of data - transmission which implements the mechanisms of data between client and server is designed.
Abstract: This paper presents a scheme to integrate information and web services based on Delphi. The proposed scheme presents a scheme that can manage database efficiently based on Delphi to dynamically visit the database and inquire the historical data, and we design a mechanism of data - transmission which implements the mechanism of data between client and server. What's more, a WEB server is designed to meet the needs of clients to visit the data within the framework of Intraweb. The tests show that the sharing and monitoring system works well, and the data-transmission is of high reliability. It proves that the scheme can realize the sharing and monitoring system effectively.
