Excerpt from Top Priorities for the Information Systems Function
Computer systems have become critical to the daily operation of most large companies. In fact for many corporations, computer-based information systems have become key to competitiveness in the marketplace. In addition to supporting the routine operational functions, computer-based information systems are being used more and more to support the information needs of managers.
In a continually changing technical environment, information systems are also changing the nature of their relationship with the rest of the company. It is thus critical that the informa tion systems (i/s) function be well-managed. The i/s depart ment must allocate its resources, particularly its scarce management and personnel resources, in order to best meet the company' 5 business needs. For i/s planning to be relevant and effectively implemented, senior and middle level user managers must be involved in assessing success, setting priorities, and allocating resources. The company's top priorities for the information systems function must be understood and endorsed by both i/s and user management.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the role of Information Systems (I/S) functions in corporations, providing a practical method for assessing I/S success in a business context. The author presents a 'success pattern' across 26 specific I/S criteria, identifying relative strengths and weaknesses against industry norms. This success pattern reveals successful I/S departments prioritize technical activities (e.g., data security), while less successful ones struggle with user-oriented activities (e.g., training programs). Using performance and importance ratings from user and I/S professionals, the author finds a problematic gap between the importance of tasks and their actual performance â" a key driver of I/S's low success rate. The book concludes by establishing top priorities to address this gap, with a focus on improving responsiveness to user needs and developing systems that enhance user involvement and expertise. The actionable insights offered guide I/S leaders in maximizing their department's success, ultimately driving business growth and efficiency.
