Efficiency of page The processing payment page always buffer and the customer will wait and only waste their time and giving a bad impression on GSC efficiency. Therefore, I would like to recommend that GSC have to improve in faster and quick improvement in processing.

Part B
1. The benefits of viewing database reports on paper are save cost we no need to have
the machine such as computer, printer or even networks etc. Paper reports can be share in meetings. Moreover, the user can compare various items side by side in ways that would be difficult to do on the computer, For example, manager might just compare two reports easily. It is because in an organization, there might be lack of computer knowledge employees. Without paper copies, one must have a large projector or large screen to view reports with groups such as management meetings. Besides that, it is a system where everyone knows how to use the paper database and it is more secure way of doing things, as it cannot be hacked.

2. The benefits of being able to interact with the data online makes easier for everyone. For example by interact with the data online centre manager is able to view, up to date of the balance sheet and income reports immediately online rather than waiting for the paper reports at end of the month. Not only had it saved on costs related to processing, printing and delivering the paper reports. Furthermore the data the in the bank usually will be seen in charts and column but now it can even been seen in bar charts of mismatches. Other than that it computers also generates a lot of useful information that can really be helpful in many ways. Moreover, using online data online can have a timeliness of results. The data can be immediately available, and results be monitored even while the project is on-going. Analysis and reports are available with a new timeliness.

3. Huntington employees reacted so strongly because all this while they have been working with paper reports system. A sudden change of the system makes their life harder because some of them are not used to computers. They prefer data on paper reports. Some of them think that this has just doubled their workload. Where else even the management might have issues with this because if their people are unable to do their job the management have to do them. This makes things harder for everyone.

4. An organization should also change from fax to email service. Business can break this vicious cycle and save piles of paper in the process by switching the fax number over to an e-mail conversion service. New faxes will come directly to email inbox instead of that paper spewing fail machine in the break room. Moreover, an organization can also have an online backup and record keeping. The data and the record will be stored in the system and changes be made to the data when needed.
