3. IT PART OF THE MANAGERIAL STRATEGY
The making of an information system is meant to support the decisional deed at all
levels. The increase of information, its quality, and its getting promptness are strong
arguments to determine a quality leap undertaken by the knowledge-based society.
Based on these reasons, the implementation of an information system must generate
positive effects both for its users and especially for its direct beneficiaries of the
processed information.
In order to obtain this desideratum, within the making process, is needed the
application of all the requirements regarding the management of quality of the
information system. It is also necessary to make the audit of the information system in
order to obtain the guarantee that this one is correctly and completely making the
processing for which it’s been designed, and any data combination, other than the
correct and complete one, is reported and it’s not generating side effects in medium
and long term.
Within the making of audit processes regarding the information systems’
development, it’s necessary to take into account the features of the organization for
which the system is designed and first, the stability of the organization. The
development of the information systems is made in the context of the evolution of
socio-economic environment. No matter their dimension, the dynamics of the changes
within the organization requires the adaptation of development methods of the
information systems to the latest requirements or the appearance of some new
concepts and methods of developing the information systems.
The developing organization, in English emerging organizations, are the organizations
whose constant is the continue attempt of adaptation to fluctuant environments but
they never reach the stability for which they are acting.
This type of organization is very different from the stable ones. Because of the
fundamentally different hypothesis regarding the reality and the development of the
information systems, the processes of making the information systems for stable
organizations, respectively emerging ones are different. In fact, the objectives of the
two processes are contradictory.
The development of the information systems for stable organizations takes into
account the following objectives:
• the economic advantages of a detailed analysis;
• the satisfaction of the users;
• abstract requirements;
• complete specifications and without ambiguity.
The proposed objectives for the development of the information systems designed for
the emerging organizations are:
• the dynamic analysis;
• the negotiation of the dynamic requirements;
• useful but ambiguous and incomplete specifications;
• continue redevelopment.
