Understanding Information Systems

INFORMATION SYSTEMS
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
An Information System is a collection of hardware, software,
data, people and procedures designed to support data-intensive
applications and generate information that supports the day-to-
day, short-range, and long-range activities of users in an
organization.
CATEGORIES OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS
•Office information systems
Enhance work flow and facilitate communications among employees.
•Transaction processing systems
Captures and processes data generated during an organization’s day-to-day
transactions.
•Management information systems
Generates accurate, timely and organized information so managers and other
users can make decisions, solve problems, supervise activities, and track
progress.
•Decision support systems
Designed to help users reach a decision when a decision-making situation arises.
•Expert systems
Captures and stores the knowledge of human experts and then imitates human
reasoning and decision-making processes for those who have less expertise.
EVOLUTION OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS
1. The Manual Process Model
The manual process model is the oldest and most traditional form of accounting
systems. Manual systems constitute the physical events, resources, and personnel that
characterize many business processes. Traditionally, this model also includes the
physical task of record keeping. Nowadays manual records are rarely used in practices.
2. The Flat File Model
The flat file approach is most often associated with so-called legacy
systems. The flat file model describes an environment in which individual data
files are not related to other files. End users in this environment own their
data files rather than share them with other users.
Data processing is thus performed by standalone applications rather than
integrated systems. When multiple users need the same data for different
purposes, they must obtain separate data sets structured to their specific
needs. These results to data redundancy which contributes to three
significant problems in the flat file environment: data storage, data updating
and currency of information.
3. The Database Model
An organization can overcome the problems associated with flat files by implementing the database model to data
management. Access to the data resource is controlled by a database management system (DBMS). The DBMS is a special software
system that is programmed to know which data elements each user is authorized to access. Through data sharing, the following
traditional problems associated with the flat file approach may be overcome.
Flat file and early database systems are called traditional systems. Within this context, the term ‘traditional” means that the
organization’s information systems applications (its programs) function independently of each other rather than as an integrated
whole. These models were inflexible and did not permit the degree of data sharing that is found in modern database systems.
True integration, however, would not be possible until the arrival of the relational database model. These flexible database
approach permits the design of integrated systems applications capable of supporting the information needs of multiple users from a
common set of integrated tables.
4. The REA Model
REA is an accounting framework for modeling an organization’s critical Resources, Events and Agents (REA) and the relationship
between them. Once specified, both accounting and non-accounting data about these phenomena can be identified, captured and
stored in a relational database. From this repository, user views can be constructed that meet the needs of all users in the organization.
The availability of multiple views allows flexible use of transaction data and permits the development of accounting information
systems that promote integration.
REA is a conceptual model, not a physical system. The most notable application of REA philosophy is seen in the proliferation of
ERP systems.
5. The ERP Model
Enterprise Resource Planning is an information system model that enables an organization to automate and integrate its key
business processes.
ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING
(ERP)
ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING
WHAT IS ERP?
ERP which stands for Enterprise Resource Planning is business management
software that allows an organization to use a system of integrated applications to
manage the business. It aims to serve as a backbone for your whole business. ERP
software integrates all facets of an operation, including product planning,
development, manufacturing processes, sales and marketing.
The leader in ERP market share, and the one that invented the market to an
extent, is the German company SAP AG with its R/3 software. Other big players
include PeopleSoft Inc., Oracle Corp., Baan Co. NV and J.D. Edwards & Co.
ADVANTAGES OF ERP
One can say that the biggest advantage of an ERP system lies with its real
time capabilities and the ability to see what is going on with your company as it
happens.

What is SAP?
SYSTEMS, APPLICATIONS & PRODUCTS
SAP was founded in June 1972 as Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung ("System Analysis and Program Development") by five former IBM
engineers in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg: Dietmar Hopp, Klaus Tschira, Hans-Werner Hector, Hasso Plattner, and Claus Wellenreuther
As part of the Xerox exit strategy from the computer industry, Xerox retained IBM to migrate their business systems to IBM technology. As part
of IBM's compensation for the migration, IBM acquired the SDS/SAPE software, reportedly for a contract credit of $80,000. The SAPE software was given
by IBM to the founding ex-IBM employees in exchange for founding stock provided to IBM, reportedly 8%. Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) was SAP's
first ever customer in 1972.
The acronym was later changed to stand for Systeme, Anwendungen und Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung ("Systems, Applications and
Products in Data Processing").
In 1976, "SAP GmbH" founded, and moved its headquarters the following year to Walldorf. SAP AG became the company's official name after
the 2005 annual general meeting. AG is short for Aktiengesellschaft (corporation). In August 1988, SAP GmbH transferred into SAP AG (a corporation by
German law), and public trading started 4 November. Shares are listed on the Frankfurt and Stuttgart stock exchanges.
In 1995, SAP was included in the German stock index DAX. On 22 September 2003, SAP was included in the Dow Jones STOXX 50. In 1991, Prof.
Dr. Henning Kagermann joined the board; Dr. Peter Zencke became a board member in 1993. Claus Heinrich, and Gerhard Oswald have been members
of the SAP Executive Board since 1996. Two years later, in 1998, the first change at the helm took place. Dietmar Hopp and Klaus Tschira moved to the
supervisory board and Dietmar Hopp was appointed Chairman of the supervisory board. Henning Kagermann was appointed as Co-Chairman and CEO of
SAP next to Hasso Plattner. Werner Brandt joined SAP in 2001 as a member of the SAP Executive Board and Chief Financial Officer. Léo Apotheker was a
member of the SAP Executive Board and president of Global Customer Solutions & Operations from 2002, and was appointed Deputy CEO in 2007.
Apotheker became co-CEO alongside Kagermann in 2008.
Henning Kagermann became the sole CEO of SAP in 2003.[9] In February 2007, his contract was extended until 2009. After continuous disputes
over the responsibility of the development organization, Shai Agassi, a member of the executive board who had been named as a potential successor to
Kagermann, left the organization. In April 2008, along with the announcement of Apotheker as co-CEO, the SAP supervisory board also appointed three
new members to the SAP Executive Board, effective 1 July 2008: Corporate Officers Erwin Gunst, Bill McDermott, and Jim Hagemann Snabe. With the
retirement of Kagermann in May 2009, Apotheker took over as the sole CEO. He was replaced by new co-CEOs Bill McDermott, head of field
organization, and Jim Hagemann Snabe, head of product development, effective 7 February.

  • 1. © SAP 2007 / <Course Number and Course Title ABC123 Overiew> ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEM using SAP Business One
  • 2. Understanding Information Systems 1. Introduction to AIS 2. ERP Systems
  • 4. INFORMATION SYSTEMS An Information System is a collection of hardware, software, data, people and procedures designed to support data-intensive applications and generate information that supports the day-to- day, short-range, and long-range activities of users in an organization.
  • 5. CATEGORIES OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS •Office information systems Enhance work flow and facilitate communications among employees. •Transaction processing systems Captures and processes data generated during an organization’s day-to-day transactions. •Management information systems Generates accurate, timely and organized information so managers and other users can make decisions, solve problems, supervise activities, and track progress. •Decision support systems Designed to help users reach a decision when a decision-making situation arises. •Expert systems Captures and stores the knowledge of human experts and then imitates human reasoning and decision-making processes for those who have less expertise.
  • 6. EVOLUTION OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS 1. The Manual Process Model The manual process model is the oldest and most traditional form of accounting systems. Manual systems constitute the physical events, resources, and personnel that characterize many business processes. Traditionally, this model also includes the physical task of record keeping. Nowadays manual records are rarely used in practices. 2. The Flat File Model The flat file approach is most often associated with so-called legacy systems. The flat file model describes an environment in which individual data files are not related to other files. End users in this environment own their data files rather than share them with other users. Data processing is thus performed by standalone applications rather than integrated systems. When multiple users need the same data for different purposes, they must obtain separate data sets structured to their specific needs. These results to data redundancy which contributes to three significant problems in the flat file environment: data storage, data updating and currency of information.
  • 7. 3. The Database Model An organization can overcome the problems associated with flat files by implementing the database model to data management. Access to the data resource is controlled by a database management system (DBMS). The DBMS is a special software system that is programmed to know which data elements each user is authorized to access. Through data sharing, the following traditional problems associated with the flat file approach may be overcome. Flat file and early database systems are called traditional systems. Within this context, the term ‘traditional” means that the organization’s information systems applications (its programs) function independently of each other rather than as an integrated whole. These models were inflexible and did not permit the degree of data sharing that is found in modern database systems. True integration, however, would not be possible until the arrival of the relational database model. These flexible database approach permits the design of integrated systems applications capable of supporting the information needs of multiple users from a common set of integrated tables. 4. The REA Model REA is an accounting framework for modeling an organization’s critical Resources, Events and Agents (REA) and the relationship between them. Once specified, both accounting and non-accounting data about these phenomena can be identified, captured and stored in a relational database. From this repository, user views can be constructed that meet the needs of all users in the organization. The availability of multiple views allows flexible use of transaction data and permits the development of accounting information systems that promote integration. REA is a conceptual model, not a physical system. The most notable application of REA philosophy is seen in the proliferation of ERP systems. 5. The ERP Model Enterprise Resource Planning is an information system model that enables an organization to automate and integrate its key business processes.
  • 9. ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING WHAT IS ERP? ERP which stands for Enterprise Resource Planning is business management software that allows an organization to use a system of integrated applications to manage the business. It aims to serve as a backbone for your whole business. ERP software integrates all facets of an operation, including product planning, development, manufacturing processes, sales and marketing. The leader in ERP market share, and the one that invented the market to an extent, is the German company SAP AG with its R/3 software. Other big players include PeopleSoft Inc., Oracle Corp., Baan Co. NV and J.D. Edwards & Co.
  • 10. ADVANTAGES OF ERP One can say that the biggest advantage of an ERP system lies with its real time capabilities and the ability to see what is going on with your company as it happens. Efficiency Cost Reduction Fewer Personnel Accuracy Integration
  • 13. SYSTEMS, APPLICATIONS & PRODUCTS SAP was founded in June 1972 as Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung ("System Analysis and Program Development") by five former IBM engineers in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg: Dietmar Hopp, Klaus Tschira, Hans-Werner Hector, Hasso Plattner, and Claus Wellenreuther As part of the Xerox exit strategy from the computer industry, Xerox retained IBM to migrate their business systems to IBM technology. As part of IBM's compensation for the migration, IBM acquired the SDS/SAPE software, reportedly for a contract credit of $80,000. The SAPE software was given by IBM to the founding ex-IBM employees in exchange for founding stock provided to IBM, reportedly 8%. Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) was SAP's first ever customer in 1972. The acronym was later changed to stand for Systeme, Anwendungen und Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung ("Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing"). In 1976, "SAP GmbH" founded, and moved its headquarters the following year to Walldorf. SAP AG became the company's official name after the 2005 annual general meeting. AG is short for Aktiengesellschaft (corporation). In August 1988, SAP GmbH transferred into SAP AG (a corporation by German law), and public trading started 4 November. Shares are listed on the Frankfurt and Stuttgart stock exchanges. In 1995, SAP was included in the German stock index DAX. On 22 September 2003, SAP was included in the Dow Jones STOXX 50. In 1991, Prof. Dr. Henning Kagermann joined the board; Dr. Peter Zencke became a board member in 1993. Claus Heinrich, and Gerhard Oswald have been members of the SAP Executive Board since 1996. Two years later, in 1998, the first change at the helm took place. Dietmar Hopp and Klaus Tschira moved to the supervisory board and Dietmar Hopp was appointed Chairman of the supervisory board. Henning Kagermann was appointed as Co-Chairman and CEO of SAP next to Hasso Plattner. Werner Brandt joined SAP in 2001 as a member of the SAP Executive Board and Chief Financial Officer. Léo Apotheker was a member of the SAP Executive Board and president of Global Customer Solutions & Operations from 2002, and was appointed Deputy CEO in 2007. Apotheker became co-CEO alongside Kagermann in 2008. Henning Kagermann became the sole CEO of SAP in 2003.[9] In February 2007, his contract was extended until 2009. After continuous disputes over the responsibility of the development organization, Shai Agassi, a member of the executive board who had been named as a potential successor to Kagermann, left the organization. In April 2008, along with the announcement of Apotheker as co-CEO, the SAP supervisory board also appointed three new members to the SAP Executive Board, effective 1 July 2008: Corporate Officers Erwin Gunst, Bill McDermott, and Jim Hagemann Snabe. With the retirement of Kagermann in May 2009, Apotheker took over as the sole CEO. He was replaced by new co-CEOs Bill McDermott, head of field organization, and Jim Hagemann Snabe, head of product development, effective 7 February.
