Stages in IT Infrastructure Evolution
The typical computing configurations characterise each of the five eras of IT infrastructure evolution

,Corporate Network Infrastructure
Today’s hospitality network infrastructure is a collection of many different networks from the public
switched telephone network, to the Internet, to corporate local area networks linking workgroups,
departments or office floors

Standards in Computing
Why are standards important?
o Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP)
o Ethernet

Trends in Computer Hardware
• Grid computing
• Autonomic computing
• Virtualization
• Multicore processors
• Cloud computing
• Quantum computing

Transaction to New Systems
Legacy systems designed for mainframe computers are generally expensive to redesign, but it is not
always needed when designing and making a new system and this system is hard to replace

Data Base Management Systems (DBMS) (chapter 6)
The Database Approach to Data Management:
• Database serves many applications by centralizing data and controlling redundant data
• Database Management System (DBMS): interfaces between applications and physical data
files; separates logical and physical views of data; solves problems of traditional file
environment, such as controls redundancy, eliminates inconsistency, uncouples programs and
data and enables organizations to centrally manage data and data security

Human Resource Database with Multiple Views

information requirements of the user. Illustrated here are two possible views, one of interest to a
benefits specialist and one of interest to a member of the company’s payroll department

Big data = massive sets of unstructured or semi-structured data from web traffic, social media, sensors
o Petabytes, exabytes of data, volumes are too great for typical DBMS
o Big data can reveal more patterns and anomalies

Dimensions of Management Information Systems
• Managerial dimension: involves issues such as leadership, strategy and management behaviour
• Technological dimension: consists of computer hardware, software, data management
technology and networking/telecommunications technology (including the Internet)
• Organizational dimension: involves issues such as organization’s hierarchy, functional
specialties, business processes, culture and political interest groups

Vision, Mission and Strategy
From a business perspective, information systems are part of a series of value-adding activities for
acquiring, transforming and distributing information that managers can use to improve decision-making,
enhance organizational performance and ultimately increase the firm’s profitability




Legacy Systems = older TPS created for mainframes that would be too costly to replace or redesign

What is Cloud Computing?
In cloud computing, hardware and software capabilities are a pool of virtualized resources provided
over a network, often the Internet. Businesses and employees have access to applications and IT
infrastructure anywhere, at any time and on any device

Consulting and System Integration Services
Implementing new infrastructure requires significant changes in business processes and procedures,
training and education and software integration. This is a task that firms struggle to achieve on their
own, which drives the need for these services

Software integration = ensuring new infrastructure works with legacy systems
