摘要:

The concept of the integrated services digital network (ISDN) could revolutionize information management. The purpose of the ISDN is to provide a worldwide network that offers end-to-end digital connectivity supporting a wide variety of communications services. ISDN subscribers will have direct access to a high-speed digital pipeline capable of supporting simultaneous voice, data, facsimile, and various other services and calling features.

摘要:

Extensive project simulation and monitoring provides a cost-effective evaluation of system functions much earlier than any other method. This prompt feedback enables MIS manager to effectively reschedule, restaff, and redesign the project as necessary. This article discusses the implementation of one type of simulation system.

摘要:

Although erroneous data transmissions are inevitable, the MIS manager can minimize their effect by understanding their causes. This article describes the integrity requirements of a data communications system, explains error-rate determination and performance factors, and reviews the causes of various transmission impairments.

摘要:

The comprehensive information management system (CIMS) is a new concept in MIS departments. Its basic goal is to integrate data base management systems with state-of-the-art data dictionaries, computer languages, design systems, and end-user software to create the most efficient and effective information management system possible. The result will be the creation of a more effective environment for the delivery and use of information.

摘要:

In past columns we have discussed how MIS can encourage an organization without a strategic plan to develop one (the objective being for MIS to gain guidance in formulating its own strategic plan). In this column, however, we consider an organization ready and eager to modify its own strategic plan to meet new conditions. This is a golden opportunity for MIS to aid in the organization's strategic planning activity by contributing information that policymaking executives can use to craft a new strategy.

摘要:

Many systems developers believe that programs can be coded almost as simply as giving a monkey a terminal and a manual. By demoting the status of coding, this attitude places a heavier burden on project managers and their staffs. This column looks at how software coding can be used to minimize maintenance and maximize performance through control and flexibility.
