1. Introduction to Cloud ComputingWhen you store your

photos online instead of on your home computer, or use

webmail or a social networking site, you are using a

cloud computing service. If you are an organization,

and you want to use, for example, an online invoicing

service instead of updating the in-house one you have

been using for many years, that online invoicing service

is a cloud computing service. Cloud computing refers

to the delivery of computing resources over the Internet.

Instead of keeping data on your own hard drive or

updating applications for your needs, you use a service

over the Internet, at another location, to store your

information or use its applications. Doing so may give

rise to certain privacy implications.For that reason the

Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) has

prepared some responses to Frequently Asked Questions

(FAQs). We have also developed a Fact Sheet that

provides detailed information on cloud computing and

the

computing services over the Internet. Cloud services

allow individuals and businesses to use software and

hardware that are managed by third parties at remote

locations. Examples of cloud services include online file

storage, social networking sites, webmail, and online

business applications. The cloud computing model

allows access to information and computer resources

from anywhere that a network connection is available.

Cloud computing provides a shared pool of resources,

including

data

storage

space,

networks,

computer

processing power, and specialized corporate and user

applications.Cloud services are popular because they

can reduce the cost and complexity of owning and

operating computers and networks. Since cloud users do

not

have

to

invest

in

information

technology

infrastructure, purchase hardware, or buy software

licences, the benefits are low up-front costs, rapid return

on

investment,

rapid

deployment,

customization,

flexible use, and solutions that can make use of new

innovations. In addition, cloud providers that have

specialized in a particular area (such as e-mail) can

bring advanced services that a single company might not

be able to afford or develop. Some other benefits to users

include scalability, reliability, and efficiency. Scalability

means that cloud computing offers unlimited processing

and storage capacity. The cloud is reliable in that it

enables access to applications and documents anywhere

in the world via the Internet. Cloud computing is often

considered efficient because it allows organizations to

free up resources to focus on innovation and product

development. Another potential benefit is that personal

information may be better protected in the cloud.

Specifically, cloud computing may improve efforts to

build privacy protection into technology from the start

and the use of better security mechanisms. Cloud

computing will enable more flexible IT acquisition and

Widespread use of the cloud may also encourage open

standards for cloud computing that will establish

baseline data security features common across different

services and providers. Cloud computing may also allow

for better audit trails.

2.Alipay is well known in China and the world is a very wellknown applications. It is a new payment method.Then the
widespread use of this app is how to support business
operations .Why Alipay Network Technology Co., Ltd. by using
the app to become China 's leading third-party payment

platform.We can know app for a business operations of great

help.Now we talk about online application.
App operation Mainly refers to the network marketing system
with all app operator promotion related work, including app flow
monitoring analysis, the contents of the target user behavior
research, APP daily update and edit content, network marketing
planning and promotion. APP here is the meaning of the
application . APP marketing is through the use of special mobile
phones, communities, SNS and other platforms to run the
application to carry out marketing activities. APP refers to the
operation of the network marketing system in all the work related
to the late operation of the site is now the mainstream of mobile
marketing.
Then the marketing features of app are low cost, sustainable and
comprehensive information, promote sales, brand building, at
any time, across time, precision marketing, interactive, user
stickiness.These features can save the operation cost and can
make use of the number of rapid growth, expand the scope of
use.Its marketing model is the advertising implant, transplant
model, user participation, content marketing, marketing strategy,
the difference between.This will be able to form a strong brand
penetration and marketing strategy of diversification.

Because the app is mainly used in the mobile phone so Alipay

app also has a different version applicable to all major mobile
phone app platform are apple system version iOS, Android
Android, Microsoft windowsphone, Symbian version
.Comprehensive coverage of the mobile phone market.
With the popularity of mobile devices like smartphones and the
iPad, people became more accustomed to the use of Internet
client app, and present the major domestic electricity supplier, all
have the their own client app. This marks the commercial use of
client app, has begun the burgeoning.
APP is not only a mobile client device so simple, now, in many
devices can have wireless control of different products to
download the official APP software vendors.
Not only that, with the rise of the mobile Internet, more and more
Internet companies, electronic business platform will be APP as
one of the main battlefield of the sale. Data show that APP is not
only to bring the flow of mobile phone business far more than the
traditional Internet traffic, profit by APP is also the development
direction of the major electronic business platform. As a matter of
fact the major business platform to the tilt of the mobile app is
very obvious, not just because of the daily increase of traffic,
more important is because the mobile phone terminal is
9

convenient, for the enterprise has accumulated more user, more

user experience good app allows the user loyalty, activity has
been greatly improved, so as to plays a key role in the enterprise
income and future development.

3.Now we will introduce how to use this application

teambition.
First : log on to your project management.
You

should

visit

the

domain

https://www.teambition.com/project/5357a23143344afe7d2
b1051/home to enters the teambitions website. You can
also enter the website by clicking the linkcompany OA.
Then you can click the login button in the upper right corner
of page. Fill the corresponding user email and password in
login screen input box .

Secondly: Task allocation

Click on the task sheet on the navigation bar, get into the
project management panel. We assumption this project
management mainly divided into four major management
sector. They are respectively task assignment, underway
10

(task), complete (tasks) and for suspension (task).

Just as its name implies , "task distribution" is a new task to
deployment. Click on the "tasks" plate under the "add task",
the you can create a task. Then you enter into the task
allocation core stage, at this stage you should fill the task
content, set the task deadline, set the importance of the
mission, etc. For instance, if you want to create a new task,
you just need to click on the "tasks" input box, and then
input to create the task of content. After finishing that, if you
want to confirm to create, and just click "create" button to
confirm. It is very easy.

Thirdly : Add the created task to the " underway " to tell the
practitioners to accomplish the task.
After you create the tasks, you should add the tasks to the
underway, so the practitioners will accomplish the task. It
is very easy, click the left mouse button to select the task you
want to add (do not loose the button after you clicked ), then
drag the mouse to the " underway " .

Fourthly: add the mission has been finished to the "finish"

plate to tell the team the task has been completed
11

The method is the same as above, just click the left mouse
button to selected tasks under the "underway", then drag
the them to complete plate .
If there is a fault in missions, you are forced to suspend the
task, you can temporarily added to the task " suspension "
plate.

Finally : we will introduce the importance of setting deadline

and practitioners
Click the deadline button, then choose the deadline in the
popup form. Click the button add practitioners, choose
the practitioners in the popup drop-down list of team
members.

Q4 Screen capture of your usage of the application

How to Take a Screen Capture with Windows and Mac
Youve seen screenshots, the web equivalent of a photograph of
web content that has been taken and then transferred to another
document or image. You can use them to save the bar codes for
gift cards, to share chat conversations you have with your
children or others, or to save an image that you wish to use as the
background for your computer or cell phone screen.
12

Screenshots should therefore be regarded as a basic function for

internet users. If you have never taken a screenshot yourself, here
from soup-to-nuts is the process you will need to follow to master
this essential skill. Like many processes on the Internet, it is far
easier than you might have imagined, and after your first few
successes, youll wonder how you ever got along without it, and
why you waited so long to learn. Lets begin.
Screen Capture with Windows
If you take a moment to look at your computer keyboard, you will
be reminded that there are a wealth of keys that sit neglected, off
in the margins, envious of the letter keys that see all the action,
and waiting for their moment in the sun.
One of these, in the upper-right corner, has two lines of writing
on it: PrtScn on the top, and Sysrq on the bottom. In some
cases these terms will be abbreviated differently. To its right is
ScrLk, and to the right of ScrLk is Pause/Break. That should be
enough to identify the PrtScn/Sysrq key.If you press that
PrtScn/Sysrq key, Windows will capture the entire screen, and
copy it to your clipboard. The clipboard of course is term for a
data holding area where information you may wish to transfer
elsewhere is kept until you make the transfer.
