Its a system in big organisations that allows them to input what assets they have. So they can input a record of all the computers they own so they know where everything is and when it was baught etc. Assets can be hardware, software, employees or anything the company owns

I was looking through the rest of the paper after Q3 to see how many questions were high markers and for easy questions to do first. I've seen all the past papers but never realised how much paper is just there for answers.
Nonetheless I did most of the questions (even if I tried to explain the microsoft hearts game for Q 4(b)) but skipped a 4 mark and ran out of time on Q 4(a).

By far the best question was the 20 mark Q on social networking consequences.

The data arise question is the only one that I feel i didnt do as well on persoanlly. I wrote about the results of experiments, serveys, qestionaires, social media etc. It made me laught when the standards question came up since that same question came.up last year
For data arise question you had to talk about indirect and direct data (primary and secondary) and had to give an example for each e.g direct could be counting cars in a car park and indirect when data is used for another purpose e.g using customer bank details for promotion.
