1 Information Systems CSM21 Strategic Information Management Introduction Matthew Casey What are Information Systems? Systems used to manage, collate and distribute information Essential for modern organisations Foundation of business processes They are not technology Such systems could be manual, rather than technological However, manual systems are impractical for the volume of information that is processed daily by an organisation Spring 2007 Matthew Casey 2 Business process examples: Developing a new product, Generating and fulfilling an order, Hiring staff. Distribution of knowledge example of UniS Intranet. Contains information for staff and students, library services, research applications, job vacancies. Matthew Casey 1 Matthew Casey 2
2 IT and IS Data and Information What is Information Technology? Any form of technology used by people to handle information What are Information Systems? Integrated components processing, storing and disseminating information Interdisciplinary study of systems that provide information to users in organisations Data Streams of raw facts Information Data interpreted in a meaningful way Informatics The study of information, information systems and information technology Pyle, I.C. & Illingworth, V. (Eds) (1996). Oxford Dictionary of Computing, 4 th Edition. Oxford / New York: Oxford University Press Spring 2007 Matthew Casey 3 Spring 2007 Matthew Casey 4 Information Systems: interrelated components working together to collect, process, store, and disseminate information to support decision making, coordination, control, analysis, and visualization in an organization For example, a set of numbers is data, whereas information is interpreting these numbers as a set of exam marks. Information Technology: the foundation upon which IS are built. Matthew Casey 3 Matthew Casey 4
3 Experiences of IT and IS Examples of IT Hardware (PC, UNIX server) Software ( , Internet, Windows, Word) Consumer devices (mobiles) Examples of IS e-commerce systems Enterprise business systems, such as student record systems Uses technology to integrate the business MIS Management Information Systems The study of information systems focusing on their use in business and management Approaches Technical Behavioural Sociotechnical Traditionally MIS was concerned with managers Now covers organisations in a broader sense As IT professionals you need to appreciate the context in which technology is used Spring 2007 Matthew Casey 5 Spring 2007 Matthew Casey 6 IT infrastructure is the foundation upon which IS are built. Matthew Casey 5 Matthew Casey 6
4 Why is IS Important? Global Economy For an organisation to survive and prosper, it needs: Information at different locations Support for product and service delivery Improved efficiency and reduced costs to meet legislative / ethical / moral constraints Environment: Global economy Knowledge- or information-based society Modern business structure Technology as an opportunity for businesses Spring 2007 Matthew Casey 7 Growing percentage of UK economy relies upon import and export Organisations have become international In the UK in 2004 (Mahajan, 2006): We imported more than exported (by 35.0b) Goods deficit 60.9b and services surplus 25.9b The export of goods is falling, services is growing Computer services ranked as the top growth industry in the last 10 years Mahajan, S. (Ed) (2006). United Kingdom Input-Output Analyses, 2006 Edition. London, UK: Office for National Statistics. [Accessed ] Spring 2007 Matthew Casey 8 The emergence of the Internet provided new business models, such as e-business and e-commerce. Furthermore, this trend is increasing, especially with web services and the like. Such global IT infrastructure is eliminating technical, geographic and cost carriers for global organisations. Most organisations require IS to operate (core). Some even have IS as their reason for operating, for example e-commerce web sites. More traditional examples include companies that have adopted IS to run their business, such as IBM. Digital links include e-commerce, e-business and business-to-business (b2b).

7 Modern Business Structure Technology The way businesses operate has changed significantly Change from hierarchical organisations to a flatter structure Customer focus and the need for flexibility to capitalise on markets and beat competition Relies on instant information Technology as a means to deliver information at the right time to the right place Spring 2007 Matthew Casey 13 Technology can make an organisation: Flexible More efficient Some completely depend upon technology Is IT a commodity (Carr 2003)? On a par with railways, electricity supply, No longer providing competitive advantage Carr, N.G. (2003). IT Doesn t Matter. Harvard Business Review, vol. 81(5), pp Carr, N.G. (2005). The End of Corporate Computing. MIT Sloan Management Review, vol. 46(3), pp Spring 2007 Matthew Casey 14 Hierarchical business organisations had people in specific roles working to specific Standard Operating Procedures. In order to be flexible and competitive, businesses now have more flattened structures where people have more general roles, relying on the access to (near) instant information to fulfil the role they are performing at any given time. For example, a task force set up to produce a proposal for work, learning about the opportunity and targeting the customer s needs. For example, such flatter organisations have been implemented by AT&T, IBM and General Motors, removing approximately middle managers. This, of course, brings in ethical considerations. Technology now underpins all aspects of business. Carr (2003) argues that it has developed into an infrastructural technology, like railways, electricity, etc. As such, no competitive advantage is gained explicitly by using IT, but businesses would not be able to operate without out. Furthermore, IT can no longer been seen as a matter for strategy, just like a company does not consider electricity supply as a matter of strategy. Advantage may only be gained for a short time.
