traffic delays, and reducing pollution.
One of the most promising new innovations in ITS is Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC), which “has a remarkable impact on traffic management and road safety by instantly using vehicular resources, such as computing, storage and internet for decision making,” (Whaiduzzaman, Sookhak, Gani & Buyya 2014, p. 325). Not only is VCC technologically feasible, it is also “economically viable,” easy to integrate into current highway systems and vehicles (Whaiduzzaman, Sookhak, Gani & Buyya, 2014, p. 325). For decades, advanced traffic management systems (ATMS), advanced traveler information systems (ATIS), commercial vehicle operations (CVO), and advanced vehicle control systems (AVCS) have already been implemented… Continue Reading...

Digitalization is enabled by pervasive computing (e.g., cyber systems and the internet of things), delivery models (e.g., cloud computing), data analytics, social media, and mobile computing (Heilig, Schwarze and Vob, 2017). These IT systems transform processes, information flows, and people by facilitating the collection, processing, management, retrieval, and distribution of data.
The digitalization of processes is essential for enhancing the customer experience, which consequently increases customer satisfaction (Deloitte, 2013). Though there is no universally accepted definition, customer satisfaction essentially means the extent to which the goods and services provided by a firm meet or exceed the expectations of customers (Kumar, 2016).

to their mail and accounts as is necessary. The ADP system is also important in cloud computing where a vendor will link their system or servers to the computers of a given organization for whom they store and manage data. This allows the client to easily access the data that is kept at the central server with ease without the risk of losing the data. This means the system helps in handling data automatically from the central point.
The ADP systems also allow for automatic data capture from the various official documents used in an organization like the invoices. The ADP systems use the optical… Continue Reading...
