Question 1
Identify one of the primary risks associated with end-user computing below.
◦ IS personnel will not have enough work to do if users develop their own systems.
◦ Systems that have not been adequately tested may be implemented.
◦ System costs may skyrocket.
◦ System development time may increase substantially.
Question 2
Which of the following about end-user computing is
true?
◦ System users know best what they need, so should be able to create their own applications.
◦ End-users, while knowledgeable about their job, are not trained to create systems applications, and should not be allowed to do so.
◦ It is inefficient and costly to ask the IS department to create basic applications that only a few users need to use.
◦ In most companies, the IS department doesn't want end-users to create their own applications, for fear IS won't have enough work to do.
