Information Technologies
- major highlight
Database Technology (Chapter 5)
– Relational model reduces redundancy and dependence by
providing a centralized data framework
Data Mining (Chapter 10)
– Innovative techniques used to discover patterns and correlations
hidden in massive data sets.
OLAP: Online Analytical Processing (Chapter 10)
– Technologies allow large amounts of data to be processed and
analyzed interactively instead of with pre-developed reports.
Artificial Intelligence (Chapter 10)
– Category of technologies that simulate human-like ability to solve
problems, learn, and “think.”
Information Technologies
- examples from lab
Database Technology
– Lab 4: Databases vs. Spreadsheets
– Lab 5: Tables, Records, Relationships, Queries, etc.
Data Mining
– Lab 9: Using advanced queries to discover the best
transaction (Decision Support). Best transactions
were difficult to find with basic reports and graphs.
OLAP: Online Analytical Processing
– Lab 10: Pivot Charts let us slice and dice the data to
develop an expert system that would predict when Dr.
B will play.
Information Technologies
- student presentation examples
Data Mining
– Dan Haemmerle talked about advanced
Scout; data mining in basketball, and other
applications like casinos.”
Artificial Intelligence
– Chris Allen, Travis Smith & Guillaume Dufau
talked about the Lexus that could parallel park
itself (Human-like ability)
Systems for Functional Areas
- examples from class
Accounting Systems
– Frank Leone and Robyn Freeman talked about
Quickbooks an out-of-the-box, inexpensive system
perfect for small businesses.
– Be sure to read pp 121-122
While functional systems are still around,
systems that integrate different functional
areas are more valuable. Why?
Systems for Functional Areas
- examples from class
Marketing Systems
– Tara Maloney and Todd Crounse talk about the major
components: (1) Managing Customers, (2) Targeted
Marketing, (3) Automating the Sales Force
– Be sure to read pp 111- 116
– Mathias Besse and Bryan Li talked about a CRM
system (SalesForce?), a CRM is really an Enterprise
Marketing System that integrates other functional
areas.
– Be sure to read pp 135-142

Key Concepts
- Role of IS’s
• Competitive Advantage
– Companies use IS’s to leverage advantages
– Force competition to invest in IS’s or sink
• Strategic Advantage
– IS’s transform data into valuable information
that help companies make better “big”
decisions.
– Misconcept: IS’s only help make “small”
operational decisions.
Key Concepts
- Role of IS’s
• Business Improvement vs. Business
Process Re-engineering
– Better information lead to incremental
continuous improvement in each functional
area. This is why functional systems are still
valuable.
– Integrating system and information allows
companies to completely re-engineer at the
highest levels (BPR). This is why Enterprise
systems are so valuable.
Key Concepts
- Role of IS’s
• Business/Enterprise Intelligence
– In large businesses, no single person could process
all the available information to make intelligent
decisions.
– IS’s all a large group of people to get the right
information so that the company has a collective
intelligence that is great than the sum of its parts.
• Enterprise Agility
– IS’s allow information to move faster from the
operational level to the strategic level and vice versa
enabling companies to move faster.
