Information as a Critical Success


Factor
Critical

success factor (CSF) was coined by


Ronald Daniel to identify a few key activities
that spell success or failure for any type of
organization.
Transaction processing system (TPS) is the
information system that gathers data
describing the firms activities, transforms the
data into information, and makes the
information available to users both inside and
outside the firm.

1st business application to be installed on computers.

System Overview
Distribution

system is a TPS used by


distribution firms.
Distribution firms distribute products or
services to their customers.
We will use data flow diagrams, or
DFDs, to document the system.
Figure 8.2 represents the highest level.
Figure 8.3 identifies the three major
subsystems.

Major Subsystems of
Distribution System (Contd)
Systems

that perform general ledger processes.

General ledger system is the accounting system


that combines data from other accounting systems
for the purpose of presenting a composite financial
picture of the firms operations.
General ledger is the file that contains the
combined accounting data.
Updated general ledger system posts records
that describe various actions and transactions to the
general ledger.
Prepare management reports system uses the
contents of the general ledger to prepare the
balance sheet, income statement, and other reports.

Organizational Information
Systems
Organizational

information systems
are developed to meet the needs for
information relating to those particular
parts of the organization.
Marketing information system
(MKIS) provides information that relates
to the firms marketing activities.
Consists of a combination of input and
output subsystems connected by a database.

Marketing Information
System

Output subsystems provide information about


critical elements in marketing mix.
Marketing mix consists of four main ingredients that
management manages in order to meet customers
needs at a profit.

Product subsystem provides information about the firms


products.
Place subsystem provides information about the firms
distribution network.
Promotion subsystem provides information about the
firms advertising and personal selling activities.
Price subsystem helps the manager make pricing decisions.
Integrated-mix subsystem enables the manager to
develop strategies that consider the combined effects of the
ingredients.

Marketing Information System


(Contd)
Database

is populated with data from the


three MKIS input subsystems.
Input subsystems

Transaction processing system gathers data


from both internal and environmental sources and
enters the data into the database.
Marketing research subsystem gathers internal
and environmental data by conducting special
studies.
Marketing intelligence subsystem gathers
environmental data that serves to keep
management informed of activities of the firms
competitors and customers and other elements that
can influence marketing operations.

The Executive Information


System
Executive

information system (EIS) is a


system that provides information to upperlevel managers on the overall performance
of the firm; also called Executive support
system (ESS).
Drill-down capability allows for executives
to bring up a summary display and then
successively display lower levels of detail
until executives are satisfied that they have
obtained as much detail as is necessary.

Customer Relationship
Management
Customer

relationship management
(CRM) is the management of the relationships
between the firm and its customers so that
both the firm and its customers receive
maximum value from the relationship.
CRM system accumulates customer data over
a long term5 years, 10 years, or more-and
uses that data to produce information for
users.
Uses a data warehouse.

Data Warehousing
Data

warehouse describes data storage that


has the following characteristics:
Storage capacity is very large.
Data are accumulated by adding new records, as
opposed to being kept current by updating existing
records with new information.
Date are easily retrievable.
Date are used solely for decision making, not for use
in the firms daily operations.

Data

mart is a database that contains data


describing only a segment of the firms
operations.

The Data Warehousing


System
Data

warehousing is the creation and


use of a data warehouse or data mart.
Primary data sources are TPS and data
obtained from other sources, both internal
and environmental; any data identified as
having potential value in decision making.
Staging area is where the data undergoes
extraction, transformation, and loading
(abbreviated as ETL process)

Data Warehousing System

Extraction

process combines data from the various

sources.
Transformation process cleans the data, puts it
into standardized format, and prepares summaries.
Data stored in both detail and summary form.

Loading

process involves the entry of the data into


the data warehouse repository.
Metadata

Data about data


Data that describes the data in the data repository
Tracks data as it flows through the data warehouse

Storing Data in the Warehouse


Data Repository
Dimension

tables store the identifying and


descriptive data.
Dimension provides the basis for viewing the
data from various perspectives or dimensions.

Fact

tables are separate tables containing


the quantitative measures of an entity.
Combined with dimension table data, various
analyses can be prepared.
Users can request information that involves any
combination of the dimensions and facts.

Information

package identifies all of the


dimensions that will be used in analyzing a
particular activity.
Star schema-for each dimension, a key
identifies the dimension and provides the link
to the information package that results in a
structure that is similar to the pattern of a star.
The warehouse data repository contains multiple
star schemas, one for each type of activity to be
analyzed.

Information Delivery
Drill

down-the process of navigating down


through the levels of detail.
Roll up-enables the user to begin with a
detail display and then summarizes the
details into increasingly higher summary
levels.
Drill across-moving from one data hierarchy
to another.
Drill through-going from a summary level to
the lowest level of detail.

OLAP

On-line analytical processing (OLAP) enables the


user to communicate with the data warehouse either
through a GUI or a Web interface and quickly produce
information in a variety of forms, including graphics.
Relational OLAP (ROLAP) uses a standard relational
database management system.
ROLAP data exists in detailed form.
Analyses must be performed to produce summaries.
Constrained to a limited number of dimensions.

Multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP) uses a special


multidimensional database management system.

MOLAP data are preprocessed to produce summaries at the


various levels of detail and arranged by the various dimensions.
Faster summary ability, can use many dimensions10 or more.

Data Mining
Data

mining is the process of finding


relationships in data that are unknown to the
user.
Hypothesis verification begins with the users
hypothesis of how data are related.
Retrieval process guided entirely by user.
Selected information can be no better than users
understanding of the data.
Traditional way to query a database.

Knowledge

discovery is when the data


warehousing system analyzes the warehouse
data repository, looking for groups with common
characteristics.
