Building IS (A)
Concerned with the technology to be used in the system. The team needs to assess whether the technology to support the new system is available or feasible to implement
During this phase, the solution is transferred from paper to action, and the team configures the system and procures components for it.
Draws on concepts of organizational learning, organizational culture, and best practices to convert tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge, create a knowledge-sharing culture in an organization, and eliminate obstacles to sharing knowledge
Consists of the processes a company uses to track and organize its contacts with customers. It improves services offered to customers and uses customer contact information for targeted marketing
When end users develop their own information systems, with little or no formal assistance from the information systems team. These users might not know how to write programming code, but they are typically skilled enough to use off-the-shelf software, such as spreadsheet and database packages, to produce custom-built applications.
Is similar to XP in focusing on an incremental development process and timely delivery of working software. However, there is less emphasis on team coding and more emphasis on limiting the project’s scope.
During this phase, the information system is operating, enhancements and modifications to the system have been developed and tested, and hardware and software components have been added or replaced.
An integrated system that collects and processes data and manages and coordinates resources, information, and functions throughout an organization
A third-party exchange (B2B model) that provides a platform for buyers and sellers to interact with each other and trade more efficiently online
Tools automate parts of the application development process. These tools are particularly helpful for investigation and analysis in large-scale projects because they automate parts of the design phase
What is computer-aided systems engineering (CASE) ?
Includes activities required to plan, manage and control the creation and delivery of an information system.
An organization hires an external vendor or consultant who specializes in providing development services
A process that creates a physical object from a three-dimensional digital mode by laying down many successive layers of material.
Enables business partners to send and receive information on business transactions
Concentrates on user involvement and continuous interaction between users and designers. It combines the planning and analysis phases into one phase and develops a prototype of the system. It uses an iterative process (also called “incremental development”) that repeats the design, development, and testing steps as needed, based on feedback from users.
A measure of how well the proposed solution will work in the organization and how internal and external customers will react to it.
The analyst introduces the system in only a limited area of the organization, such as a division or department. If the system works correctly, it is implemented in the rest of the organization in stages or all at once.
An integrated network consisting of an organization, its suppliers, transportation companies, and brokers used to deliver goods and services to customers.
It is an enterprise resource planning component that tracks information such as budget allocations and debits and credits.
Used to coordinate supply chain members through point-of-sale (POS) data sharing and joint planning
What is Collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment (CPFR) ?
A method for developing software applications and information system projects in which the project is divided into smaller functions and developers cannot go on to the next phase until the current phase is finished. Each function of the overall project is developed in a step-by-step fashion.
As each module of the new system is converted, the corresponding part of the old system is retired. This process continues until the entire system is operational.
The process of working with suppliers and other partners in the supply chain to improve procedures for delivering products and services
It is the act of getting a customer to buy additional products.
By using the Internet, this brings traditional auctions to customers around the globe and makes it possible to sell far more goods and services than at a traditional auction
