SPREP Information management requirements : evaluation and recommendations / prepared by Nesh Petrovic

Abstract

Information Technology has had an extraordinary pace of change in this decade including hardware and software advances and most of all, the adoption and use of the Internet. However, some fundamental principles about Information Systems remain the same and are even more important because of the fast changing, more demanding and much more global environments in which business organisations operate today. One of these principles is that the essential purpose of Information Systems is to support the business in pursuing its vision and achieving its goals and objectives. The other principle is simply that Information Systems are about information and data and how to best manage it in order to maximise its value for the organisation.
