2011). In a software development project, however, it is usually more useful when the project manager is considerably knowledgeable in software development and/or information technology in general (Mcmanus, 2005). This implies that the role of the project manager in a software development project may be much more active and complex compared to a construction project. This role would, for instance, involve understanding software requirements, creating a team of software engineers and designers, explaining the objectives of the software to the project team, reporting project status to senior management, supervising the installation of the new software, coordinating staff training, and monitoring the performance of the new system (Mcmanus, 2005).

numbers and employee identification numbers. Bhansali then points out, without getting into specifics, that "we layer a lot of information technology and security (ITS) technologies on top of that to reduce the risk." This approach is something of a shotgun approach, and Bhansali is not specific in the article about what particular apps are utilized. He is also not specific about whether cloud-based accounting companies should gain specific security certifications or not.
Comment 1: The security aspect of this article -- and most others I found -- is quite thin. It doesn't talk about multi-factor authentication, security certifications, or even what apps were in Bhansali's stack, despite alluding to… Continue Reading...
