Study Notes
Enterprise Systems in Organizations
- Organizations struggle to manage complexity with traditional information systems.
- Integrated information systems are crucial for organizational success.
- Information Systems automate business functions such as accounting and marketing.
### Management Pyramid with Information Requirements
- Information requirements can be structured, semi-structured, or unstructured.
- Structured information is stored in a database, while unstructured information is informal (e.g., social media).
- Information systems support different levels of management: operational, management, and strategic.
- Operational level: Short-term decisions using structured data.
- Management level: Medium-term decisions using semi-structured information.
- Strategic level: Long-term decisions based on unstructured information.
Information Silos and Systems Integration
- Traditional "silos" are isolated systems within organizations.
- Silos hinder data sharing and communication, leading to inefficiencies and redundancy.
- Integrated systems allow for data sharing across departments for improved communication and customer focus.
Move from Silo Architecture to Integration System
- Silo architecture uses separate databases for each system, making integration difficult.
- Integration systems utilize one central database for data sharing, simplifying management.
- Integrated systems promote communication and collaboration between different modules.
Information Systems - Integrated Systems (IS): Introduction
- Integrated systems, like ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) are essential for modern organizations.
- They connect various business functions and integrate with external systems (e.g., partners, suppliers).
- Integrated IS aim to improve information flow, increase usefulness, and add value.
- Integrated systems have a layered architecture, including:
- Clients (e.g., browser)
- Internet for communication
- Integrated system modules
- Central database
Business Processes and IS
- Information Systems can significantly influence business processes (BP).
- Organizations must either adapt BP to fit the IS software or modify the IS to match existing processes.
- Odoo is a system that helps streamline business processes (AS-IS to TO-BE).
Move from AS-IS to TO-BE - Business Processes Re-engineering
- Re-engineering involves analyzing existing processes (AS-IS) and optimizing them for efficiency (TO-BE).
- Re-engineering aims to eliminate redundancies, streamline workflows, and modernize business practices.
