Information and Knowledge Management using ArcGIS ModelBuilder

9. Conclusion
Elena Serova
At present, business technologies, along with information and communication technologies, overlap
more and more closely. In Russia, as well as worldwide IT became a critical element of the chain of
the product or service design and profit. Earnings of companies are growing not only due to a
significant cost reduction and management optimization, but also due to the implementation of
modern information technologies and systems.
Although each enterprise is unique in its financial and economic activities, there are a number of
problems common to all enterprises. These include the management of material and financial
resources, procurement, marketing and much more. ERP-systems provide comprehensive
management of key aspects of financial, industrial and commercial activity of enterprises. These
systems provide managers with complete and timely information for management decisions and
ensure effective data exchange with business partners.
Strengthening of integration processes in the business world leads to the fact that companies are now
involved in the environment that combines inner sphere of the company's business, all business
partners and customers. In the future the decisions in the sphere of information technologies, should
allow to integrate people, information and business processes into a unified information system in a
single complex of technological solutions more effectively.
