Databases

• What did databases do?
• Improved Accessibility - I could get to the
  record I wanted faster
• There are database architectured computers
• They are fast at retrieval Mass of data, simple
  updates
• Slower at calculations Science, engineering and
  financial engineering
• Most computers are not designed as, they have a
  DBMS.

ENTERPRISE COLLABORATION

• Can also be thought of as a communicated company

Communicated

• What is a communicated company? It is one that
  can
• Rapidly transmit share ideas.
• It can digest ideas
• It achieves mutual understanding
• Thus achieving higher performance

11
Communicated

• Distance is less of a factor.
• The knowledge of the organization is available.
• Alexander Library
• Burning set us back 500 years??
• Or did it??

12
Communicated

• The organization reaches some understanding
  because there is discussion capability so I can
  explain to you
• But to fully use it also takes the ability to
  analyze.
• So the fullest benefit is reached when a Flexible
  or Informated company beco9mes communicated.
• No it has the communication tools and the
  Analytical tools

13
Communicated

• Note its not just technical or computer channels
• Traditional means work to
• Like walking down the hall and taking to you
• So does POTS

14
Internetworked Enterprise

• It all creates the internetworked Enterprise
• Everyone linked
• Partners
• Suppliers Distributors
• Customers
• Take a look at page 263 in your book

Then consider this diagram
Telecom Links
The user interface
External Info sources
Internal Info sources
Know-ledge, Operating Pro-duction Systems
The Computing environment
16
The Enterprise Information Infrastructure
In the preceding, we have talked about EWIS,
Some of the network, the interface the
computing environment but not the
Information Services or Communications Systems
17
The Enterprise Information Infrastructure
These are major components providing outside
internal and external information sources. They,
help make the company truly Communicated
18
The Enterprise Information Infrastructure
But it also takes Interface, Networks, Knowledge
Systems And Computing tools As well as the
integration of the production and operating
systems
19
The Enterprise Information Infrastructure

• What we have
• Are systems which provide constant feedback of
  the operations
• Have links to customers, for better understanding
  of needs
• Have the tools to analyze both, using both
  internal and external information
• And the ability to share the analyses, reach an
  understanding and derive a plan
• Then translate that plan rapidly into action

20
The Enterprise Information Infrastructure

• This is a thinking company
• It is consensus forming
• All knowledge is shared
• And all knowledge counts.

21
Where are we at

• Many are installing communication tools
• And knowledge systems
• Along with integrating systems
• But they fall short on their use, because they
  are still hierarchical, not consensus forming.
• They see the tools as reducing costs - cutting
  travel for example
• Or better communicating tops down.

22
Beware!!

• The cost studies sited by the book with 1000
  returns and nano second type paybacks have a lot
  of Soft saves in them.
• Soft means hard to quantify
• The CITI way ID save then book it (reduce the
  budget).

23
And

• No big systems are not going away. It is in fact
  easier/cheaper to use mid-range systems and
  midware.
• And massive parrell-processors will run the
  knowledge systems or serve as mega servers
• So the Mid-range server might be more powerful in
  a sense than the host.

24
Whats happening
25
Other

• But yes
• HTML is there
• TCP/IP is the protocol
• Web like interfaces are preferred Gives common
  interface
