This paper presents the design and implementation of the information system called Operational Risk Management that facilitates the quantification of operational risk. The system goal is the fulfillment of national and international standards of banking regulation that search controlling and manage the financial losses resulting from failures in processes, people, systems or external factors. In the...
Radiographic densitometry is a technique that allows us to evaluate bone density, using as reference an inert material, such as aluminum. Those techniques allow for the support of the diagnosis of diseases and bone abnormalities such as osteoporosis. To increase the technical precision, some authors proposed the use of mathematical equations, as the minimum square method, LaPlace's theorem and the...
Recently, information system operation becomes more important because of increasing size of information system and outsourcing the system operation. However, it is not easy for customers to judge the validity of the system operation cost. To provide information which helps the judgment, we analyzed factors which affect system operation cost. Working time of system operation service provider has the...
Situational Method Engineering aims at constructing methods adapted to a given situation, either by a construction from a set of predefined method components or by a customization of an existing method using different techniques: configuration, extension, reduction, and so on. However, these techniques are still limited in practice, as considered complicated and heavy to implement. In this paper,...
Technological infrastructure and mines in Colombia conditions do not meet the standards, promoting events that endanger the lives of miners. This paper presents the design and implementation of an information system for access control and management of priority information in a central mining exploitation. The developed system allows to control the access of the miners, with alarms that warn of possible...
In an increasingly competitive environment the successful functioning of any business requires continuous improvement of services, expanding the range of products and range of services, standardization, and implementation of new busines ideas, establishment and dissemination of innovative solutions on the market. The implementation of such measures were carried out in a well-developed business projects...
Agile software development methods have rapidly spread after their formal introduction in the agile manifesto at the dawn of the millennium. They rapidly gained support in the software industry and can be considered a standard today. Agile methods seem to improve software project success rates and offer developers the needed flexibility to adapt to changing user requirements. However, the use of agile...
Software project success rates are gradually improving over the last few years. However, this does not apply to large software projects as only 10 percent are successful. One of the most prominent reasons for high failure rates is resistance to change. Resistance to change has been studied for almost seven decades however a simple answer to this issue simply does not exist. In this paper, we present...
Recently, new Information Systems are being introduced to users on regular basis. At a certain point, users might deal with several systems producing overwhelming amount of information and resources. This is challenging on many levels, as the user has to look for information and resources in different Information Systems. One of the most important challenges here is the way to manage the resources...
In this paper the results of linguistic variables presentation: “Importance of job” and “Time of job”, which are basis of data input and processing modules in information systems of professional activity analysis and estimation are given.
An integrated enterprise system (IES) is essential to keep an enterprise growing and improving its productivity. Previous research relating to IES selection generally deals only with ERP solutions. The aim of this paper is to propose a fuzzy multi criteria decision making (MCDM) approach that could be followed to enable a given enterprise to select the most appropriate IES among the existing ones...
ERP systems have fundamentally changed the way of business data processing. These changes have affected the internal control system of ERP inevitably. Many traditional internal control testing approaches could not work well in ERP environment. In ERP systems, many control criteria and control procedures can be achieved by control data. In this paper, we proposed an applicable approach to test internal...
The paper presents a complex method for a synthesis of configuration variants of a geographic information system in archeology on the basis of morphological analysis. The calculations of some quantitative measures of similarity and differences between the heterogeneous information system components, which make it possible to determine typical and original elements of the system, have been proposed...
Currently, the information systems agility and the satisfaction of the dynamic environment requirements is essential challenges for companies. The purpose of this paper is to represent the existing approaches for achieving agility in software development as well as in production system. The objective is to identify the relevant metrics for evaluating information system agility. Then, we propose an...
In spite of an Enterprise Systems Implementation Methodology's (ESIM's) potential and significance for Enterprise Systems implementation, little attention has been paid to its evolution in ES literature. Moreover, current studies reveal contradictory findings and provide a fragmented understanding. The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework underpinned by a morphogenetic approach for explaining...
Information systems (IS) that foster collaboration in organizations, such as knowledge management systems (KMS), enterprise social software (ESS), and collaboration systems, have shown the potential to improve employees' work quality and performance. However, leveraging these benefits is highly dependent on the influence of cultural values within the organization. Furthermore, using such systems is...
Hardware ventures are emerging entrepreneurial firms that create new market offerings based on development of digital devices. These ventures are important elements in the global economy but have not yet received much attention in the literature. Our interest in examining hardware ventures is specifically in the role that information system (IS) resources play in enabling them. We ask how the role...
While workarounds are studied frequently in information systems research, a coherent and interrelated structure to organize the knowledge of the field is still missing. In this study, we provide a first step towards an ontology of workarounds in order to enable researchers to study the relationships among the core concepts. By identifying existing literature, we discover three gaps in workaround research:...
Domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) are key to empowering organizational experts in interacting with business information systems. For this task, developing DSMLs based on the Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become a popular option. However, a number of design decisions must be considered when developing UML-based DSMLs. In this paper, we extend a systematic literature review (SLR) to cover...
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, over the years, have evolved into integral business systems in both medium and large organizations. The strength of an ERP is that it is a computerized transactional information system, with a centralized data repository. This allows for significant data availability and seamless collaboration between business functions. Realizing associated benefits through...
