What is the nature of business?

I am student in college, I have to write project about company and understanding the security requirments based on the nature of its business. And
They need me to use the collected information about the company to design a suitable Information Security Policy. This is how i choose your company "Apple".
i want to ask some question and i hope to find answer?
The First question is What is the nature of business?

You can try the Apple corporate contact page: http://www.apple.com/contact but the areas you are talkng about, security, are not going to get a resonse.
There is some good background info, unofficial, in the book by Adam Lashinsky, Inside Apple: How America's Most Admired - and Secretive - Compay Really Works.  Apple does not share very much of its internal operations, including even an organization chart.

  • What is the difference between Business System and Business Service?

    Hi
    Please tell me what is the difference between Business System and Business Service...? In real time at what situation we will use Business System and in what situations we will use Business Service..? Please help me
    Best Regards

    HI,
    Business system:
    If you want to address a particular business system as the sender or receiver of messages, choose this service type.
    A business system is an actual application system in a system landscape. A business system (service) comprises information about the inbound and outbound interfaces and the software component versions of the business system.
    You usually use business system services when configuring internal company processes.
    Business Service:
    If you want to address an abstract business entity as the sender or receiver of messages, choose this service type.
    Using a business service, you can define the technical or business subunits of the companies involved and then assign them the relevant interfaces.
    You usually use business services when configuring cross-company processes. In this case, you only make your interfaces known to the business partners involved and either do not make any details about your own system landscape available, or only specific details. 
    For example, you can define RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes (PIPs) as business services.

  • What are the DATAPROVIDERS in Business Objects 6.5?

    What are the DATAPROVIDERS in Business Objects 6.5? When we use these data providers/

    Kishore,
    "Data Providers" is a term used to designate a concept of the "source(s)" for the report.  For instance, if you have a report that has a single query and in your report you have one (or n1) tab(s), then your report is a single data provider type of report.  Note that you can have multiple tabs with the data being displayed multiple ways, etc, etc, but since you have a single query, the report is still a single data provider.  Another scenario is that you have more than a single query (n1 query panels), then you have a report with multiple data providers.  Only upon inspecting the query panel side of the report can you determine the number of actual data providers.  You can have a single tabbed report with multiple data providers, or you can have a multiple tabbed report, but the point is that data providers are counted by the number of query panels being used and not necessarily the number of tabs.  I hope this explanation is clear, but if any questions arise, please post back.
    Thanks,

  • Can anyone help me what is the use of business and proxy service in osb?

    Hi,
    I am new in Osb what is the use of business service and proxy service in osb.
    I know little bit proxy service is used for actual message flow. I saw some project proxy service invoking the (using service callout,routing and publish) service,but the wsdl of the services of the proxy and business service is same.
    Please can anyone explain the flow while executing through soapUI?(that means it will hit 1st business services or proxy service)
    I have this project structure
    business service
    1.reference.biz----> this is the wsdl of ex:reference.wsdl
    2.external.biz----> this is the wsdl of ex:external.wsdl
    proxy service
    1.referece.proxy--->this is the wsdl of ex:reference.wsdl(in this proxy we are routing to reference.biz proxy service both contains same wsdls why?)
    xqueries of request and response.
    Best Regards,
    Raju.

    Hi Raju,
    Proxy Service - It is the starting point of you OSB application which deal with receiving messages, inducing logic in it like transformation, if-else, replace, java call outs,etc. You can put in your program logic here and then invoke a business service to route it to your Database or to any other queue as per your requirement.
    Business Service - It is generally used for routing purposes, like inserting the input in your Database or sending it to a different queue or BPEL process, etc..

  • What are the features of Business object.

    Hi Experts,
    Can any please give me  brief idea about Business object which one will going implent into BI . and what are the features of Business object.
    i will assign points if it is helpfull.
    Regards
    venu.

    Hi,
    Bussiness Object is the reporting tool of datawarehouse.BI is itself a data ware house.The next generation SAP BI will be using BO as reporting tool instead of BeX.BO is a Reporting tool. Presently we are using BI BEX tool for reporting. slowly BI BEX tool is replacing by BO.Use Netveawer and SAP BW for the Backend and Master data management or Use Data Integartor. For Front End Use BEX tools for QR$A or use the BO Suite.BO has many advantages over BEX tool like using BO we can creat crystal reports ets.
    Pls chk this links for detailed information abt Business Object:

  • What is the generally accepted Business Practice in developing Data Flow Edit Tasks in SSIS

    We have lots of data edits that we need to create for some 3rd party data that is coming into us. Is the generally accepted business practice to perform these data edits against our database in one Stored Procedure or multiple Data Flow Tasks?
    Kind of new to SSIS and just don't know what the most efficient means is to perform these edits and whether to create multiple Data Flow Tasks to perform these edits against our SQL Server Database or perform these edits in one whole SQL Server Stored Procedure.
    Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

    Like I have to perform some drill down edits on my 3rd party data against our SQL Server Database
    Does the First Name and Last name Match?
    Does the Zipcode Match?
    Does the Birth Date Match?
    Things of that nature. My feeling is to put it into a Stored Procedure. That way if we need to flex the matching criteria down the pike here, it's all in one place...rather than in a Stored Procedure and a Data Flow Task somewhere. Just seems to be more
    logical and organized to keep it all in one place and then call the Eedit Stored Procedure from SSIS.

  • What is the impact of business area and cost center in the sales document

    Hi all
    I have small doubt regarding what is the impact of bussiness area and cost center in the sales document... what is the uses of these (bussiness area, cost center) is help full for sd module
    can any one reply plz....
    Thanking you

    Hi,
    Business Area determines where the revenue should be allocated when you sell a material or a service.
    For eg: If your customer is in say Mumbai and he is ordering for a service in Delhi (say DIAL - Delhi International Airport Limited) then based on the terminology.
    Your customer would belong to B Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS COMING FROM or WHERE YOUR CUSTOMER BELONGS TO (SALES OFFICE).
    Whereas your DIAL sales will belong to A Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS GOING TO.
    Cost Center would determine where your allocate your cost to.
    Say Rounding Off can be used as a cost element, because some sort of revenue is lost when figures are roudned off..
    Hope it clarifies your doubt.
    Reward points if satisfactory
    Regards

    Hello Dhruvin,
    I think you shall have a look on the current help about this issue as it is a Complex ssue meaning "extense" and also one of the basic Points on the customizing and deployment of a CRM System:
    Organizational Management in SAP CRM - SAP Library
    Basically the Sales Area Data identifies your BP in your Sales Organization.
    You define your sales organization so its fits your business requirements and real structure. f
    Having this information properly defined helps to link data between SD and CRM so you can have for example: - The proper price for a customer when creating and Oportunity/ Sales Order.
                  - To restrict the access of the information of an employee.
    Hope these hints help..

  • What is the biggest SAP Business One database you have ever seen?

    Hi All
    I'm trying to determine what capabilities of how big a SAP Business One database can become without it becomming to slow to work with... The reason for this question is that have a customer with a database of 27GB ... The customer have only been in production for one year, but because they roughly place 1500 sales orders each day the growth rate is big...
    So the question is simple how many GB is your largest customer and how does the system manage?

    Hi Rasmus,
    I'd agree with the above, the overall size isn't as important as the hardware that they are using. I've seen a 75GB database system which was suffering badly because they hadn't specc'd the disk I/O correctly although memory and CPU were fine (we didn't spec this, it was a site we were called in to help on when they started having issues). Of course, a larger database is going to have other issues (eg backup and restore times, patch upgrade times etc) and you'd probably want to be more proactive on database maintenance than on a smaller database (eg you don't want to have autogrow kicking in during the day so you'd need to make sure that there is sufficient space in the database at all times).
    If you are concerned about database size then one option is to clear the history tables. This can reduce the database up to 50% but, of course, you'll lose the change history.
    Database archiving is still rumoured to be coming out in the next version.
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

    Hi Venkat Mallela,
    Sorry to say this, but you must stop rewarding your own threads. A user registered today (10/25//2007) and posted many threads and always rewarded you as thread completed. I dodn't think it is a coincidence.
    If every SDN member starts playing this dirty trick, then there is no meaning to use SDN. SDN is for the people who share their good project experiences by helping other members by answering the issue.
    As I mentioned before, I should take up this issue with SAP officials if this happens again.
    Not only you, some other members were also recently started practicing the same trick, which is not a good thing.
    Hope you understood the voice of other forum members like me.

  • What is the role of Business Objects in BPC

    Dear Experts,
    A quick question. Why has SAP changed expanded form of BPC - from Business Planning & Consolidation to Businessobjects Planning and Consolidation. Is this just a re-branding excercise or is BPC using Business Objects components for reporting?
    As far as I understand, after watching demos on Businessobjects Planning and Consolidation, I dont see any business objects interface?
    Can anyone please help me in understanding this right?
    Regards
    Rupa

    Hi,
    When you take BPC alone into consideration then their is no much difference with the interface. They have changed name from BPC to SAP Buisness Objects Planning and Consolidation, version for SAP NetWeaver. With the next versions they have integrated few of the Business Objects tools like Xcelsius, Voyager, WebI, Crystal, BOBJ CMS and SSO etc. With the integration of these tools you can display or report the BPC data in these tools like for e.g. you can report on BPC data in Xcelsius etc. So this is the reason why they have given the new name to BPC. I would say functionality wise ,  yes their are many improvements in the upcoming version.
    I hope this helps.
    regards,
    Sushma
