1) Your agency provides courier services throughout a large
urban area, and you cater to the legal and financial community
where proof-of-delivery, timeliness, and package tracking are
essential requirements. You’re working with a business partner to
upgrade your company’s courier service software with the goal of

available to clients for real-time updates and legally defensible

batch processing OR blockchain OR
data collection
Partner:
Due to the nature of the packages we deliver, I'm concerned about
the security of our documented updates. How can we assure our
customers that chain of custody, proof of delivery, and other
attestations are reliable?
You:
We can incorporate _________ technology that uses a distributed
ledger system and guarantees records are not falsified or altered
after creation.
Options (Choose one for above blank): data
correction OR blockchain OR
incident management OR document
production
When transactions entered into one system are processed, they
create new transactions that flow into another system. Some systems
might be developed using in-house resources, some may be developed
by outside contractors, and others might be off-the-shelf software
packages.
2.
Identify which type of system is most relevant to each
