PLANNING INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Byte size learning skills course of 1 comprehensive
session
IT has powerful effects in a globally-networked world. IT-based
information systems have enormous potential to enhance important business
features such as productivity, profitability, quality, customer service,
creativity, and decision making. We now need to consider what we have to
do if we want to successfully implement IT-based information systems.
We see how they must be planned for, justified, constructed, operated,
maintained and protected if they are to enable and support the business.
We also explore the concerns that managers face as they deal with
information systems.
This
course concentrates on what must be
done before we begin the development of any information system; to plan.
