A cyber mall is a system with sales products, a means of choosing products, and a way for connecting the first two. It is the new e-commerce whereby the user can purchase items at the comfort of their home and have it delivered to them.
There are several types of cyber malls, including the shopping cart model and the portal model. The shopping cart model, a buyer, can select products from several suppliers and can manage and purchase several items at a go. example amazon.com
In the portal model, the user can search for the product through a search engine, and it shows several distributors of a single item . an example being google.com.

Therefore, the website must be easily navigated through the mobile phone. Secondly, one should have an easy checkout process, therefore, should have good usability and functionality.moreover, one should easily and securely sign up into the site to ensure users don’t get bored when using lengthy procedures in signing up.

- Discuss why transaction processing systems cannot have downtime.
The reason why transaction processing systems cannot have downtime is that they form the foundation of the business. All jobs depend on income and proper representation of what they earn in comparison to the expenditure. If payments arent processed in real-time the transaction process would be lengthened, leading to loss of income.imagine if a client must waste valuable time. It is estimated that if it takes more than an hour to process or approve the purchase of fewer than twenty dollars, there is a 70% probability that the buyer will cancel the transaction.

- Discuss different types of MIS reports. Who typically uses each story, and why?
The management information system provides information.
There are several kinds of management information system reports, including sales report typically prepared by marketing and sales division, it gives an analysis of products sold in different geographical areas. The sales division uses it as it shows the difference between actual sales and budgeted sales. Secondly, we have a a production report created by the manufacturing division because of it shows production targets achieved by the production department and its variation to its real to budgeted production achievement.Funds flow statement that is prepared by the accounting department indicates sources of funding and their application areas during any period in time.

Then, using the Internet, determine the technical infrastructure that you will need to build the site. Choose specific hardware components, software components, and electronic payment systems that you will use for your business and
Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
The e-commerce website we will be designing will be a business to business website B2B meaning it will enable transaction between businesses such as producer to wholesaler and wholesaler to retailer it is between companies rather than individuals.E-commerce infrastraacture is the software nad hardware required to accommodate the e-commerce platform.one may get a hosted platform whwre your host is incharge of security and so on or self host e key infrastructures that are needed to support EC applications are networks, Web servers, Web server support and software, electronic catalogs, Web page design, and Internet access components.
Hardware:
A Web server hardware platform is one of the major components of the E-commerce infrastructure on which the performance of the whole E-commerce application depends. Servers, proxy servers, load balancing systems. Firewalls, encryption devices and interactive voice response units etc.For this e-commerce we will use the Dual Intel Xeon
Dual Intel® Xeon® 2 x E5-2620V2 2.10 GHz
8 vCore
2 x 1000GB HDD
32GB RAM
Electronic payment system
We will give the software in the order of how it operates in the payment process after a buyer clicks buy button. We will use infusion soft which is involved in taking the payment. Secondly we will usethe payment gateway software authorize.net and the payment processor or merchant accout card connect. We will use this specific process with this software wordpress website framework which we will acquire from a hosting company. We will also use woo commerce which is a plugin working together with wordpress to intergrate to wordpress market place to give our website the e commerce structure allowing us to add products and services and images and it also helps majorly in setting individual price poibts for each product in our company store it also enables us to plugin the payment gateway .we will also use a payment gateway which plugs it into woo commerce gateway it securely takes credit card holder data from the customer and forwards it to the processing company , we will also use a merchant account which connects to the e commerce gateway we will use card connect.and finally we will have our bank account connected to the merchant account which receives the money sent by the buyers.
software
The software we will be using will be wordpress. With support apps such as communications, contacts and marketing apps. This is because this software enables social bookmarking with social icons including twiter tweets and facebook likes and share that bring more traffic to the website.it also enables search engine optimization page analysis that generates reports and helps avoid non- search engine friendly mistakes.It also has an email cloacker that protects my email address from auto-bots.It also creates mobile website so it is approachable through pc and mobile devices for more exposure.It also allows one to insert multiple pages and quick pages in few clicks saving time.

explain your reasoning for choosing those products or services in a 1–2 page paper.
Dual Intel Xeon
Dual Intel® Xeon® 2 x E5-2620V2 2.10 GHz
8 vCore
2 x 1000GB HDD
32GB RAM
So the question is why do I want to use these components the 8 core will enable the computer to work properly as it has to deal with both the systems operating system as well as the website itself as well as the components the computer will be using.the two terabyte of data may be in excess but also it will be hosting the database of the data it will be hosting this is because the database will consume a lot of content. The new products also will have ample accommodation space.32 gigabytes of memory will also seem to be in excess but we are in agreement that website applications are memory hungry moreover 16 gigabytes could also work but idf we require this website to be relevant in the next four or more years the improvements and new advancements will be still used.The operating system updates and software updates will be surely be in the safe with this ram space.
Software this software we will be using will have an sssl certificate that ensures that the data is safe from anyone who tries to hijach it in transit or trying to steal the data in it.it also enables easy for one to insert new products fast and easily.
This transaction process is the most efficient and the best as it enables one to use credit cards which account for up to 70%. This means that this method is fast and secure. Whike considering the process shown above this process ocurrs within seconds therefore making the transactions fast and transaction completes in seconds .it is also reliable since it deals with the users bank account and charges a small transaction fee which is cheap considering the efficiency of the transaction.
