Currently companies are looking for a way to make technological updates that do not affect our environment and that in turn give us very good benefits. Today environmental care has become very popular among companies, suppliers and customers by not taking care of the environment they have a negative impact. As a result customers or consumers lean towards other companies that do respect and help take care of our planet. Currently taking care of the environment is no longer an option if not an obligation companies have taken advantage of the use of good strategies to supply consumers [34].
The authors analyzed the impact of the use of social networks as a means of communication for the use of professional and daily life. They identified that the product service is very fundamental for users who prefer to share their experiences of an application or a visited place; the majority of companies publish publications to promote their product and thus the message reaches more people according to the appeal of the publication. We would use entropy to calculate the trust of users. We would review the rating of emotional characteristics and a unification to calculate an overall trust [35].

Therefore before they can be implemented efforts should be considered in the quality of public products [38].
The management of hierarchical services allows the client to let us know his experience of quality of service through a report and consultation. An application containing smart city travel services, air pollution detection and response exceeds service management protocols. Most IoT devices are mobile and they connect through the internet depending on where you are and the power status device management trust is necessary as not all devices will be trusted and others may be malicious to the cloud service [39].

3. Results
The results we have proposed for this phase based on studies to improve the quality of service, security and technologies that were implemented are:
- Mixed Conceptual Model of Quality of Service Approach.
- Dual-security architecture for business management.
- Control of algorithms with processes for the quality of services.
- Control of algorithms with information filter.
3.1. Mixed Conceptual Model of Quality of Service Approach
The presented model of new prototypes for the management of engineering and ICT companies to improve the quality of services is represented in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Conceptual model
Figure 1 shows the conceptual model segmentation in prototypes that have been referenced in three sectors called data security, quality of services and methodologies. There are different application scenarios, keys and techniques in that analyses and designs are applied with knowledge platforms and an algorithmic to optimize customer-oriented activities and improve service according to the management of company engineering.
The mathematical basis for measuring the conceptual model presented is expressed in the following formula (1):
here:
ADMC is the amount of reliance on managed companies.
ADB is the number of direct beneficiaries.
ACO is the number of control offices.
AIOC is the number of reports per control office.
AIB is the number of indirect beneficiaries.
Formula (1) is applied to measure the conceptual model: Six scenarios were identified in the implementation according to business management; in the first scenario agricultural engineering was established with a measure of 97.62%; for systems engineering you have a measure of 82.99%; industrial engineering has a measure of 98.77%; electrical engineering has a measurement of 94.34%; in mechanical engineering a measure of 84.03% was obtained and in electronic engineering a measure of 90.03% is available.
Figure 2: Measuring the conceptual model
Figure 2 shows the percentages of measurement of the management of engineering companies taking into account certain value indicators. Results allow you to have a view of the percentage-level comparisons of each engineering segmentation by approach to each management.
3.2. Dual-security architecture for business management
We proposed an architecture for business management in this case in the field of engineering. The participation of actors such as: Parent company, entity, branches and suppliers is established. Participants have an individual role according to process management, configuration management, control and supervision in the exchange process.
Figure 3 shows the architectural proposal for business management consists of the following parts: Information platform, application, matrix, distribution, protocol filter and evaluation with information risk calculation.
The Blockchain architecture we propose is established according to immutable information, audited information and encrypted data. Consensus among participants that update the information. Participants have an authentication certificate.
Figure 3: Dual-security architecture for business management
All actors will have a copy of the information in the Blockchain and localities are authorized to enter information related to the management of their area. In the operation of the management model branches have a general identifier for querying data.
We propose that the Blockchain be on the platform in order to intervene between the matrix and the corresponding entities; the model establishes authentication to determine network entry and update information if necessary; these actors aim to give their consent to update the data to form the consensus.
Figure 4: Four-layer architecture model
Figure 4 shows a layered architecture consisting of four levels to perform a successful process with data exchange with the company address.
Presentation layer is assigned the search, navigation, publication, collaboration and preparation of a final report.
Processing layer query and analysis processes, report management, performance management, modeling, monitoring and alerts are established.
Information integration layer is the foundation of service knowledge management, integrated information and other data with integrated information.
Data layer are databases for data manipulation, structured data and unstructured data all data is stored here.
3.3. Control of algorithms with quality of service processes
We proposed an algorithm as a guide in the process of new prototypes for the management of engineering and ICT companies to improve the quality of services; the algorithm aims to improve the steps of the methodology to avoid risks in information.
Figure 5: Information control algorithm
Figure 5 shows the application steps of the Quality of Service algorithm as a start to estimating the quality of functionality. The algorithm values the process of managing the operation of parameters. The system validates the quality of service condition and estimates under an internal range to report the quality of the service. If the system does not meet the requirements the causes are reported and the level is validated to the appropriate quality standards; after the transaction is successful the system generates a report on the quality of the final product.
The mathematical basis for measuring the improvement in the quality of service as a final product is expressed in the formula (2):
here:
CS is the quality of services.
AS is the number of surveys.
AM is the amount of tracking.
AA is the number of alerts.
AC is the number of collaborators.
LF is the level of functionality.
For the measurement of the algorithm an example was made and the formula (2). Was applied the following example shows the use of the formula. For the improvement of the data a 31% was obtained; for the improvement of satisfaction you have a measurement of 25%. For the improvement of efficiency was obtained 17% and for the measurement of the productivity improvement 29% was obtained.
Figure 6: Information filter control
Figure 6 shows the measurement percentages of the improvement in quality of service in order to propose a prototype focused on different areas of engineering. You get an increase in data improvement by 31% over existing quality within the company and also improves satisfaction, efficiency and productivity. This was achieved through data collection through surveys, partner tracking and the level of functionality.
3.4. Control of algorithms with quality of service processes
We proposed an algorithm for engineering and ICT company management processes to improve the quality of services. The algorithm aims to improve the steps of the methodology to avoid risks in the control of information.
A process is maintained in that filters based on information and communication technologies are adopted to have greater control of the database. In the execution of this network of filters could be estimated an improvement in the process and obtain an increase in the quality of service. Information is partitioned into four stages such as blocking, processing, storing and exchanging it.
It should be noted that the algorithm process we have in mind can be applied to several management engineering companies in order to obtain an increase in favor of the data collected before obtaining it. This refers to that after applying the established algorithm could be reference to great power of quality information since in this way the results obtained can be measured more reliably.
Figure 7: Control algorithm for information
Figure 7 shows the implementation steps of the control algorithm for information. First we have the input of information here is the input of all the parameter information. Risk detection finds the process of detecting anomalies in the data. In the process of a filtering network runs through Blockchain and its ICT-based use to analyze threats. A threat detection process is executed if the system detects the information is blocked then the information is processed according to the parameters the information is stored and shared. If the condition is met the information if the system does not detect a threat on the network is saved in a database engine and the process ends.
The mathematical basis for measuring control for the information presented is expressed in the formula (3):
Here:
AUP is the amount of ICT-based Blockchain usage process.
AIE is the amount of information entered.
ARD is the amount of risk detected.
AFN is the amount of filter on the network.
Formula (3) was used for the measurement of the information control algorithm; for blocked information a measure of 71% was established; for the information processed the measure was 7%; for stored information a measure of 33% was established and for shared information a measure of 13%.
Figure 8: Filter control measurement information
Figure 8 shows the measurement percentages of the information filter control taking into account certain value indicators. This allows you to have a glimpse of the filtration process via Blockchain.
4. Discussion
To propose the results of this research we adopt Blockchain technology [2] to give a higher level of security consistency to the information that is generated and to avoid malicious actions in the handling of information. We also adopt architecture and reference information [3]. We even take quality management models [14] and along with modeling the quality of services [19]. Collecting future relevant data through the established prototype.
The results obtained were mainly criteria for the security of company management in systems that prioritize data security. Quality of services through encryption and protocol.
In the research process an algorithm scheme was determined they used flowchart techniques as an option for information control in business management; the manufactured prototype can be used as a reference for other quality of service management companies. A second algorithm scheme was obtained using flowchart techniques as a process option to obtain the quality of services as a final product.
5. Future Work and Conclusions
In the future we proposed that the integration of the Engineering Companies and the ICTs be carried out to improve the quality of the services of internal and external users. The results obtained in this investigation are considered as an alternative.
It was concluded that Blockchain is determined as a fundamental option to provide greater control, as well as robustness in the face of malicious failures and attacks. The reliability of the information serves to get a better detail of the report along with the availability that handles a data rate and thus its immutability and security would obtain an improved final product.
