Study Notes
Introduction to Enterprise Information Systems (EIS)
- EIS encompass all the rules, resources, and processes determining an organization's information flow, storage, use, and dissemination.
- Components of an EIS include guidelines, data, people, hardware, and software.
EIS Component #1: Rules and Protocols
- Organizations establish guidelines for information access, usage, protection, and privacy.
- These guidelines determine who can access data, how they can use it, and safeguards for sensitive information.
- Key considerations include data security, privacy, access controls, and distribution protocols.
EIS Component #2: People
- Diverse roles contribute to managing and utilizing information within an organization.
- Key roles include Data Administrator, Data Protection Officer, Business Intelligence Analyst, IT Project Manager, Data Scientist, Enterprise Architect, Network Administrator, Business Analyst, Software Developer, Information Security Manager, IT Director, and Chief Information Officer (CIO).
EIS Component #3: Hardware
- Hardware comprises physical assets used for data processing, storage, communication, and application interaction.
- This includes computers, servers, laptops, printers, robotics, heating and cooling systems, and even everyday objects like hammers and toasters.
- Determining the scope of EIS hardware depends on the organization's business model and needs.
EIS Component #4: Software
- Software enables the collection, storage, processing, and dissemination of information within an organization.
- Examples include operating systems, databases, applications, and software tools that support data management and analysis.
EIS Component #5: Data
- Data includes all information collected, stored, processed, and disseminated by the organization.
- This can encompass various formats, such as text documents, spreadsheets, databases, multimedia files, and more.
Internet Infrastructure
- The internet functions as a global network of interconnected servers, computers, data centers, and protocols.
- It relies on hardware, software, protocols, and infrastructure for information transmission.
- Key components include servers, client workstations, peer workstations, network interface cards (NICs), gateways, and routers.
The Internet's Origins: ARPANET
- ARPANET was the first decentralized network, developed in the 1960s by the U.S. Department of Defense.
- Its purpose was to create a communication network resilient to nuclear attack, as traditional communication lines would be disrupted.
- It started with four nodes at universities and expanded over time to encompass a global network.
- The internet's decentralized structure and rapid growth have contributed to its global reach and impact.
