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.
