Knowledge in IT and its Relation to Implementation of Strategic Information System
Knowledge related to the business strategy is one of the most important intervening factors for an organization to continue to operate in an increasing competitive marketplace locally or globally. Workers in all business area must be well prepared, equipped with proper knowledge and skill. Significant contribution require from them to ensure the organization remain efficient and effective to face today high tech and modern word. Poor knowledge in information system will affected the interrelation among workers, customers, suppliers, and other key business parameters.
Successfully Story of Information System (IS)
Developing a Computerized Model with Proper Knowledge.
High competition in the building design require for new methods and facilities to help the firm scheduling, estimating and drafting the propose design and achieve the basic project objectives of economy, timeliness and quality. Knowledge needed to have excess to computerized tool but due to poor or lack of knowledge some gaps was found regarding the integration of these tools into a unified system. Obtaining, handling and distributing information among entrepreneurs, designers, consultant’s contractors and vendors in the business today become more complicated and difficult with the complexity of the business and project.
This article was showing us the advantages of having the computer-based information system. We need to agreed that the existing method such as job design, work flow, reporting system, accounting procedures and control mechanism soon will be replace with the new method called ASAP ( automation system for architectural practices ) that was newly develops to improve traditional method, with the IT implementation it was enhancing technical and managerial decisions. ASAP provides new data base utilities and managerial tools:
- A flexible cost estimation function
- An effective planning and control function
- Comprehensive databases for standards, specifications, codes and regulations.
- Additional databases for library, communication, archive services and project approval process, legal and technical documentations.
All the above advantages require some period of implementation stage and developing the workers skill where with the new facilities it will enhancing organization efficiency and effectiveness.
An Example of the Successful IS and Communication Technologies.
Information and communication technology plays a vital role for the success story of the mobile city Bremen in Germany. This is clear example of the efficient and effective organization where dealing with modern technologies make this state recognize as a high tech region. Being a high tech location means that they need to:
- professionalize research and understand science also as a service,
- organize efficient transfer of innovations from academia to industry.
- provide scientific excellence to attract companies for long term partnership.
- synchronize research strategies with the overall development strategy of the state and vice versa.
Center of computing technologies and Mobile Research Center, Bremen providing unique range of services for interdisciplinary scientific research, developing modern infrastructure, marketing, computing, communication technologies, and high frequency technologies and developing innovative mobile solutions. The living Lab Mobile City dealing with scientific quality and innovations and at the same time the mobile Research Centre provides powerful research network, perform development for new products and collaborates with business partners to commercialize such product.
The mobile city of Bremen set an example of the successfully Information System and communication technologies when put in practice. Failure to maintain and keeping all this advantages will discontinue the excellent track record.
The World is Going Fast in Online Learning.
Higher education received major benefit and becoming a big business when the IT providing efficient facilities, with the new facilities a lot of opens universities that provides courses on line through Internet. Data mining can be viewed as a result of the natural evolution of the information technology and its application is a major component of the whole content management system. Data mining enables difference managerial levels to understand, tracking and managing the wealth of the information stored in multiple data sources.
Data mining tool perform data analysis and may uncover important data patterns, contributing greatly to business strategies, knowledge bases, scientific and medical research.
IT in South Korea - The World’s Most Technologically and Digitally Connected Country

The fast growing IT companies need to establish the right organization culture for success. Innovation takes place only in organizations where organization culture empowers individuals and accepts taking risk.
Challenges – Difference Company facing difference challenges in IT start-up, they need to rectify their unique problem and came out with the proper action
Identifying Risk during Information System Development.
Improving and developing the information and communication technologies has given the opportunity to derive direct business benefits to the customers and suppliers. A critical time for the relationship within organization and costumer which is using the information and communication technology is when the provider of the services decides to up grade their information system. The change over to the new information system may create:
- Risks associated with new technology.
- Risks associated with project size.
- Risk of failure, ie; the damage that can be done.
Through the case study in this article, it was proposed to develop a risk analysis methodology consisting two major tasks to be carried out.
- The elements of risk which are specific to the area under study have to be identified.
- Those elements of risk have to be measured and given value all the potential risk need to carefully analyzed and managed.
Failure to put extra responsibility on IT developers, make it more visible and smooth transition from old to the new system may result subsequent lost of business. Migrating from traditional method to the information technologies and communication technologies may lead to the same risk and failure. Insufficient knowledge should be review.
Planning and Managing the IS with Proper Knowledge.
IS normally developed as part the strategic plan in the efficient and effective organization, when developing an IS that there are fundamental contexts in which our analysis must be placed prior to the development.
- The culture of the organization.
- The business life cycle.
- Levels of information decision making strategic, tactical, and operational.
IS are costly and slow to develop. Learning and developing fundamental knowledge’s become a basic requirement before investing time and money to select the most suitable and effective system. Such a system should integrate a number of interrelated functions and activities to ensure efficient reporting and analysis of business and environmental transactions.
Network Information Resources Management System based on Knowledge Mining.
The rapid development of information network, computer technology and globalization help managers to obtaining information through network such as Network Information Resources Management System (NIRMS). NIRMS is a cooperative and interactive man machine process where the role of human intelligence in the information flow was combined with information resources. NIRSM as a knowledge mining tool will offer users survey via the network, users message board, BBS, network call an online discussion area.
A Knowledge-based System as Design Aid for Quality Assurance Information Systems
In the process of protecting company profit and interest, customer satisfaction and need must be fulfilled and one of the methods is through an effective quality assurance system. New technologies or new customer expectation/satisfaction level and demands require the quality assurance to work hard and improve their knowledge. The quality assurance system as a sub-system of the manufacturing system can be facilitated with appropriate computer base decision support system (DSS).
Knowledge based decision system (KBS), as a problem processing system, are to retrieve information from a knowledge system and to use this information to generate useful results. The application of the expert system and widespread of PC usage provide an ideal network for disseminating knowledge through the organization.
Use of an expert system in the design of quality insurance information system will allow
- Experts and managers to concentrate on more complex problem and issues
- Helping non-technical specialist to reach and make correct decisions in an effective and efficient manner.
Knowledge Management and Organizational Competitiveness: a Framework for Human Capital Analysis.

Planning a Revenue Stream System in an E-Business Environment.
Global competition requires much organization to adopting an integrated approach to implement and managing the e- business. Integrated revenue systems should be integrated in single, non redundant data repository. One of the major benefits an integrated system is single up-dating and storing at one place and provide single source of reports. The ability to leverage knowledge about customer such as deep understanding on customer satisfaction will generate sustainable and profitable relationship.
Implementing an integrated revenue system are risky and costly but can create value for organization by building and maintaining customer loyalty especially in the business to customer sector.
