Enterprise information system
Enterprise Information System (EIS) is a complex system that integrates and manages the various functions of an organization. It is designed to facilitate the flow of information between all business functions inside the boundaries of the organization and manage the connections to outside stakeholders.
Definition[edit | edit source]
An Enterprise Information System (EIS) is any kind of information system which improves the functions of enterprise business processes by integration. This means typically offering high quality of service, dealing with large volumes of data and capable of supporting some large and possibly complex organization or enterprise.
Components[edit | edit source]
An EIS typically includes a set of integrated database management systems, which provide the data needed for the system, and a set of applications for creating, storing, managing, analyzing, and visualizing data. These applications are designed to support the various functions of the enterprise, such as finance, marketing, sales, production, and human resources.
Benefits[edit | edit source]
The main benefits of an EIS include improved efficiency, better access to information, improved decision making, and increased organizational control. These benefits are achieved through the integration of all aspects of the enterprise, including its people, processes, and technology.
Implementation[edit | edit source]
Implementing an EIS can be a complex and costly process. It requires careful planning, a clear understanding of the organization's business processes, and a commitment to change management. The implementation process typically involves the selection of an EIS vendor, the customization of the system to meet the organization's needs, the migration of data from existing systems, and the training of users.
Challenges[edit | edit source]
Despite the potential benefits, implementing an EIS can also present a number of challenges. These include the high cost of the system, the complexity of the implementation process, the need for ongoing maintenance and support, and the risk of failure if the system does not meet the organization's needs.
