Enterprise- An Overview Sonali Chauhan UDIT 2009-10 Topic Introduction Integrated Management Information Business Modeling Integrated Data Model University Department Of Information Technology Sonali C. 2 Introduction What is Enterprise? Enterprise is a group of people with a common goal, Which has certain resources at its disposal to achieved that goal. Enterprise acts PEOPLE GOAL AND OBJECTIVE as an entity.

So information is available only TOP Management (only summary) and not to other department. Ultimately, various department end up in different direction instead taking orgniz towards common Goal. Coz other department does not know what other department is doing. Eg sales n market people want more product variety to satisfy needs of customers, but production department wants to limit the product variety to cut down costs. University Department Of Information Technology Sonali C. 5 Cont… For Enterprise Entire organization is ONE SYSTEM, department is SUBSYSTEM Information is store centrally n available to all department University Department Of Information Technology Sonali C. 6 2
- 3. 7/3/2010 Cont… Each subsystem knows what other is doing, and why they r doing and what should be done to achieve common goal. In ERP, information is integrated with smooth and seamless flow of information across department University Department Of Information Technology Sonali C. 7 Integrated Management Information In information system there is logical flow of information, that is Input Processed Output data supplied to system – manipulated – transformed into information University Department Of Information Technology Sonali C. 8 Cont… Management Information System is an integrated information system One of the popular subsystem/ technology used in ERP It provided information system for decision- making in organization MIS elements Transaction process (collecting, storing, processing) Reporting System (gives reports. Charts, graphs) Decision support system University Department Of Information Technology Sonali C. 9 3
- 4. 7/3/2010 Cont… This satisfies the need of managers at operational level. But they work at departmental level. Each department has its own db and inf system This will produce its own report. University Department Of Information Technology Sonali C. 10 DISADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT INFORMATION: People in one department do not have any information what is happening in other department Top level mangers will circulate the report to other department but that department will fail to capture real picture.

Accounting department-Account Managmnt System, finance department-Finance Managmnt System etc. Work in isolation If person wants report from 2 deprtmnt he has to go thru both system n correlate them and combine the data University Department Of Information Technology Sonali C. 12 4

Approach will reduce redundancy n provide update information to entire organization. University Department Of Information Technology Sonali C. 17 Integrated Data Model (cont…) For integrated database to be effective Clearly Depict organization Reflect day to day transaction update continuously Should give snap-shot of organization any time Eg. Order is entered, sale is done, goods is dispatched, db shld reflect those changes. Inventory shld be reduced and account shld be increased. (reflect instantaneously and automatically) University Department Of Information Technology Sonali C. 18 6
