Study Notes

Enterprise Information System Definition

  • An Enterprise Information System (EIS) is the combined rules, resources, and procedures determining information flow within an organization. This includes how information enters, is stored/used, and leaves the organization.

Components of an EIS

  • Rules, Guidelines, and Protocols: The established procedures for information flow within the organization – essentially everything dictating how information moves.
  • Information (Data): All data collected, stored, used, and shared by the organization.
  • Human Resources: All individuals involved in collecting, storing, using, or disseminating information within the organization.
  • Hardware: All physical equipment used to collect, store, use, or disseminate information. This can include computers, but also physical items like folders, papers, and pencils. Even sticks & clay tablets from earlier times were hardware.

Importance of Hardware Across Time

  • EIS hardware isn't necessarily limited to high-tech items like computers.
  • Organizations from the past, such as early Sumerian merchants, also had information systems with physical components such as sticks and clay tablets.
