von Karl E. Kurbel

591 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Information systems (IS) are the backbone of any organization today, supporting all major business processes.

This book deals with the question: how do these systems come into existence? It gives a comprehensive coverage of managerial, methodological and technological aspects including:

Management decisions before and during IS development, acquisition and implementation

Project management

Requirements engineering and design using UML

Implementation, testing and customization

Software architecture and platforms

Tool support (CASE tools, IDEs, collaboration tools)

The book takes into account that for most organizations today, inhouse development is only one of several options to obtain an IS. A good deal of IS development has moved to software vendors – be it domestic, offshore or multinational software firms. Since an increasing share of this work is done in Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Africa, the making of information systems is discussed within a global context.
