Study Notes
Information Systems Architecture
- This presentation covers information systems architecture, specifically focusing on strategy, methodology, and challenges.
- A four-year ESIEA degree is the context of the course.
- The speaker, Tanguy Giton, is an ESIEA alumnus from 2018, with further qualifications from SKEMA in project management. He is also an IT consultant.
Information System Components
- An information system is organized to collect, process, store, and disseminate information.
- Key functions include collecting information at its source, processing data into useful information, storing it securely and accessibly, and distributing it effectively.
- Protection of the information's confidentiality and integrity is crucial.
- Information systems need to support all aspects of a business.
Components of an Information System
- A system has several key components that are linked through the flow of information.
- Users, represented by clients, employees, and partners, interact with the system.
- Applications, such as an Enterprise Resource Management system (ERM), interact with the data.
- Infrastructure provides the technological support including servers, networks, and security.
- Data from various sources flows between different business processes, such as sales, production, and support, and applications.
The System, Value Creator
- Information systems are not just tools; they are value creators for businesses.
- Raw data is turned into useful information, used in decision making, and strategic choices.
- Examples of how this is done include personalized customer experiences, predictive maintenance, and optimized inventory management.
Modern Bank Information System (SI)
- This covers the structure of a modern banking system.
- The system is organized into front, middle, and back-office. Clients directly interact with front office services. Middleware supports risk control. Back-office includes processes like accounting, reporting.
- Data centrally stores accounts and transactions, critical for all interactions.
Information Flow in a Modern System
- Information flows in different formats and in real-time and through batch processes in a modern system.
- Data sources from clients, partners, and internal systems flow to processing nodes (API gateways).
- Processing can be real-time or through batch jobs.
- Data warehousing/data lakes are common in storing analyzed information.
- The data is used for various purposes (KPIs, reporting, analytics, etc) and is distributed to different users and applications.
Challenges Facing Information Systems (2024)
- Modern systems often inherit legacy systems, demanding a transformation strategy.
- Present trends include coexistence of old and new (hybrid), agility, DevOps, and microservices.
- Future trends include cloud native, serverless, and event-driven architectures. Specific challenges will include maintenance, costs, and rigidity, while future trends bring new challenges in terms of AI, edge computing and talent.
Urbanization of Information Systems (SI)
- This refers to organizing and designing an information system in layers.
- Layering is used to improve understanding of each functional area and how they connect.
- Each layer, from infrastructure to applications, processes, and the overall strategy, affects the organization.
- The methodology involves mapping the current state, defining the target state, creating a transition plan and carrying it out.
System Architecture Evolution
- System architectures have evolved substantially over time.
- There have been shifts from monolithic, to layered monolith, to microservices architecture.
Application Architecture (Monolithic)
- An early approach where all functionality is in a single codebase; this leads to coupled systems, rigid development, significant deployment delays and high costs.
Application Architecture (Layered Monoliths)
- A structured improvement over spaghetti architecture using design patterns to isolate functionality, leading to more maintainable code. It still carries weaknesses, however, particularly when trying to evolve or scale.
Application Architecture (Microservices)
- This architecture has components that are designed independently and can scale independently, making them ideal for the modern approach to managing complexity in system.
- Important characteristics are independence, flexibility, and loose coupling.
Microservices and Cloud Computing
- This presentation is about microservices architecture and how it's related to modern cloud-computing.
Agenda Examples
- Presentation titles about cloud computing, concepts, architectures and implementation methodology.
- Key topics like introduction to Information Systems (IS) and cloud architectures.
Other Individuals and Companies Mentioned
- Tanguy Giton, ESIEA Alumni
- Capgemini, a global consulting company.
