Information doesn't just provide a window on the business, increasingly it is the business. The global economy is moving from products to services which are described almost entirely electronically. Even those businesses that are traditionally associated with making things are less concerned with managing the manufacturing process (which is largely outsourced) than they are with maintaining their intellectual property. Information-Driven Business helps you to understand this change and find the value in your data. Hillard explains techniques that organizations can use and how businesses can apply them immediately. For example, simple changes to the way data is described will let staff support their customers much more quickly; and two simple measures let executives know whether they will be able to use the content of a database before it is even built. This book provides the foundation on which analytical and data rich organizations can be created. Innovative and revealing, this book provides a robust description of Information Management theory and how you can pragmatically apply it to real business problems, with almost instant benefits. Information-Driven Business comprehensively tackles the challenge of managing information, starting with why information has become important and how it is encoded, through to how to measure its use.

Information systems often fail because their requirements are poorly defined. This book shows IT professionals how to specify more precisely and more effectively what their systems need to do. The key lies in the discovery and application of what are called business rules. A business rule is a compact and simple statement that represents some important aspect of a business. By capturing the rules for your business—the logic that governs its operation—you will gain the ability to create systems fully aligned with your business needs. In this book, Tony Morgan provides a thorough introduction to business rules, as well as a practical framework for integrating them into information systems. He shows you how to identify and express business rules, offers practical strategies for their use, and explains the key elements of logic that underpin their application. Topics covered include: Understanding the role of business rules and models in information systems development Using models to structure and manage business activities, including e-commerce Defining and discovering business rules Controlling business rule quality Fitting business rules into varied technical architectures Implementing business rules using available technology Whether you are an analyst, designer, developer, or technical manager, the in-depth information and practical perspective in this valuable resource will guide you in your efforts to build rule-centered information systems that fully support the goals of your organization.

More and more businesses have become critically dependent on their information systems. This implies that such systems should be designed, developed and managed with great care. Strategic vision, a global architecture and proper governance are becoming the basic ingredients for the successful deployment and operation of suitable information systems in businesses. The role of the information expert is thereby gradually shifting from a technological expert to an expert in business processes, a solutions architect and an IT service delivery manager. In this book, the techniques, methodologies and activities concerned with business information management are brought together in an overall framework. This framework not only includes the strategy, the architecture and the design of information systems, but also the management of the operational IT systems and the IT governance at the corporate level. By using this framework, business information management becomes a competence instead of an art: IT managers do not have to improvise to manage their IT but should use the framework to organize their IT management in a structured and sound way. This book gives an overview of the phases in the life cycle of an IT system and of the techniques and methodologies used during each phase. It describes IT strategy development and the architecture and development of business information systems. In addition, several aspects of IT management are discussed, including governance with CobiT and operational management with ITIL. Finally, a number of economic aspects of IT are discussed, such as the evaluation of the costs and the benefits of IT and the charge-out of the operational IT systems cost.
