Identify five different IT systems that have affected business in the past few years (i.e., business software applications, networks, hardware, internet-based technologies, databases). For each system, briefly note the following:

A name for the system

The area of business it affects

What challenges the system brought to the business world

What business processes changed because of the system

Likely future effect of the system

Create a diagram using Visio that lists the five different IT systems you identified. In your Visio document, use a rectangle to diagram the name of each system and the area of business it affects. Use a triangle to indicate the challenges and business processes changes. Use a rounded square to list likely future effects of the system.
