Architecture of Integrated Information Systems
Author: August-Wilhelm Scheer
language: en
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Release Date: 2012-12-06
The creation and implementation of integrated information systems involves a variety of collaborators including people from specialist departments. informatics. external advisers and manufacturers. They need clear rules and l1mits within which they can process their individual sub-tasks. in order to ensure the logical consistency of the entire project. An architecture therefore needs to be established to determine the components that make up the information system and the methods to be used to deSCribe it. Whereas previously. individual descriptive viewpoints such as the functional representation or the data model have dominated. this book creates an architecture within which the function. organization. and data views of an information system throughout the development phases of the requirements definition. design specification and the implementation deSCription can be given equal treatment. The ARIS architecture thereby developed is deSCribed in concrete terms as an information model within the entity-relationship approach. This information model provides the basis for the systematic and rational application of methods in the development of information systems. Furthermore. it is also the basis for a repository in which the enterprise's application-specific data. organization and function models can be stored. An essential property of the ARIS architecture is that the various views are not only considered in isolation. but a control view also represents their relationships with each other. As a result. new developments such as distributed databases or object-oriented approaches can be incorporated in the architecture. I would like to thank Irene Cameron for her careful translation of the German original.
Records Management
Focusing on the systems approach to managing information in any form (particularly paper, microfilm, and electronic records), this text presents practical guidelines for establishing a records management system.
Information Systems Strategic Management
This fully revised and updated second edition of Information Systems Strategic Management continues to provide an accessible yet critical analysis of the strategic aspects of information systems. The second edition again covers the relevant practical and theoretical material of information systems, supported by extensive case studies, student activities, and problem scenarios. The ISS issues will be fully integrated into current thinking about corporate strategy, addressing the fact that a range of emerging strategic issues are often ill addressed in IS strategy books, which also fail to differentiate between IT, the application of technology, and IS, the participative, human-centred approaches to information and knowledge management. Specific changes include Expansion and internationalisation of case studies Broader focus beyond social and critical theory New chapters on strategy and e-business, strategic management as a technical or social process, strategic implications of information security, applications portfolio, and technology management. The focus on strategic issues and the integration of IT and IS issues ensures this text is ideal for MBA students studying MIS, as well as being suitable for MSC students in IS/IT.
