Information systems in the economy are presented in the form of organizational and technical systems designed to perform some computing work or services that meet the needs of the management system and its users (eg, management personnel, external users). They function within the framework of the management system and are fully subordinate to their goals.
Information systems in the economy are involved in activities related to the use of related products. A typical example of such work is the use of information management technologies.
Information systems in the economy have a methodological basis, represented by a systems approach, according to which various systems are a set of objects working in close cooperation to achieve one common goal.
Such systems can be a combination of some functional structure: mathematical, informational, organizational,personnel and technical support, combined into a whole system in order to collect, issue and process the necessary information when performing managerial functions.
Information systems in the economy provide the following data flows:
- From the external environment to the management system. On the one hand, this is a flow of information of a regulatory nature, which is created by government agencies within the framework of the current legislation, and on the other hand, data containing information on market conditions created by suppliers, consumers and competitors.
- The flow directed from the management system to the external environment in the form of reporting information provided to government agencies, creditors, investors and consumers, as well as marketing information to a certain circle of consumers.
- The flow of information from the management system, directed to the object, has the form of regulatory, planning and administrative information in the implementation of business processes.
The enterprise information system is capable of solving the following tasks:
- ensuring the required quality of enterprise management;
- increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of interaction between departments;
- achieving high quality of products;
- increasing the economic efficiency of the economic activity of the entity;
- creation of a statistical accounting system;
- implementationenterprise development forecast;
- creation of a system of operational and strategic planning, as well as forecasting.
Enterprise information systems are guided by the tactical direction of management. This includes analysis, medium-term planning, and organization of work over several weeks. An example is the planning and analysis of supplies, the preparation of production programs. This class of tasks is characterized by the regulation of the formation of final documents and a specific algorithm for solving such tasks as a list of orders when forming a production program and determining the requirements for materials based on the required specialization.
