Download or read book Inter organizational Information Systems in the Internet Age written by Sean B. Eom and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the U.S. Department of Defense initiated the development of networked computers in 1969, Internet technologies have rapidly advanced and revolutionized the way we communicate and conduct business. The second wave of the technological revolution came with intranet technology in the mid-1990s. With the intranet, organizations have strengthened the powers and speed of data gathering and sharing, communication, collaboration, and decision making within a firewall-protected organizational boundary. The third wave of this technological evolution, extranets, began in the second half of the 1990s. Many believe that it is the key technology enabler that is triggering a revolution in the structure and operations of many organizations in the new Internet-driven global economy. In addition to maturing Internet technologies, several technology drivers, as well as business drivers, further pushed the emergence of new types of organizations--virtual corporations, virtual organizations, extended enterprises, and trans-enterprise systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the term Customer Relationship Management (CRM) companies such as Siebel Systems offer solutions geared at optimising customer processes. These companies claim high customer satisfaction and reduced costs. Traditional software giants like SAP and Oracle have also begun to provide software solutions in the areas of marketing, sales and service. For many enterprises, the re-organisation of so-called front-office-processes is new ground. But what must a company consider when it initiates a CRM project? It is important to start with the customer needs before moving on to customer relationships as a whole. This book describes customer relationships using the concept of Customer Buying Cycle and thus creates a neutral orientation framework for CRM projects.

Download or read book Information Logistics Decentralized Approaches of Information Allocation in Information Exchange Networks written by Sven Grolik and published by ibidem-Verlag / ibidem Press. This book was released on 2012-02-24 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of modern planning and optimization systems for process synchronization in value networks requires the optimal information exchange between the entities involved. The central focus of Sven Grolik's study is the development of efficient mechanisms for the coordination of information allocation by the example of interconnected transportation marketplaces. Unlike traditional information allocation algorithms, the algorithms developed in his analysis are based on update mechanisms which maintain a weak consistency of replicated information in the network. Sven Grolik shows that these algorithms enable savings concerning the update costs as well as increase the performance within the network, but at the same time guarantee compliance with quality of service levels concerning the currency of information. The focus of this work is the development of decentralized, online algorithms which make a logically distributed computation possible on the basis of local information. The development of these innovative algorithms is based on approaches of multi-agent system theory as well as distributed simulated annealing techniques.

Download or read book Information Logistics in Supply Chain Networks written by Markus Fricke and published by ibidem-Verlag / ibidem Press. This book was released on 2004-06-28 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can inter-organizational cooperation’s in supply chains be improved? This book analyzes the interdependencies between the use of information and communication technologies and the efficient form of IT-based coordination in supply chains and/or supply chain networks. Using the results of an empirical survey done in the European automotive industry, the status quo and the future of different information and communication technologies used to support supply chain operations is shown. The results on a general level were complemented by case studies which give examples demonstrating the specific behavior of individual companies and technological concepts in the automotive industry. On the methodological basis of transaction costs theory, network effect theory and empirical findings, an economic model of “information logistics” is developed, that can be applied to determine optimal IT-configuration and information flows and thus to analyze efficiency of networked cooperation forms. At the example of vehiclespecific supply chains and industry networks it is shown, how the overall network costs necessary to exchange information between business partners can be improved.
