, MODULE I: INTRODUCTION TO ICT MANAGEMENT
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO ICT
1.1. ICT IN A BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
1.1.1. IMPORTANCE OF ICT MANAGEMENT
Information systems are everywhere
→ Information systems are everywhere like for example: Businesses, Hospitals, Power plants and cars
- Efficiency improvements
- New products and services
- Source of economic growth
An organization is a system
Input Output
A few business functions of many classic businesses are (5):
- Marketing and sales
- Research and development
- Production
- Financial management and administration
- Human resources management
3
,→Marketing and sales
• Create customer offer
o Determine configuration
o Fix prices
o Determine discount
o Make financial report on offer
o Send offer to customer
o Present offer to customer
• Accept customer offer
• Enter order
• Make invoice
→Research and development
→Production
→Financial management and administration
• Make budget
• Book payment
• Manage accounts
• General ledger
• Receivable accounts ledger
→Human resource management
• Selection and recruitment
o Place job advertisements
o Receive applications and input applications into system
o First assessment applications
o Contact applicant
o Interview application
o Inform applicant
o Contract proposal
o Hire
• Payroll administration
• Employee data management
• Employee evaluation

,The value chain
- Optimize the supply chain: supply chain management
- Use information systems!
1.1.2. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN BUSINESS
3 ways to use ICT in business:
1. Data processing
2. Task automation
3. Integrated information systems
Data processing supports isolated processes
- Cash books supporting accounting
- The use of a PC with a text processor application to create a report
- The elaboration of a business plan using a spreadsheet program
Task automation supports groups of processes or business functions
→Task automation often supports groups of processes, sometimes even complete business functions.
→Task automation requires a strong integration.
- Accounting software, supporting accounting and general ledger
- An application for the management of student data at a university
- A customer relationship management (CRM) system, managing all information pertaining to the
customers of an organization
- Production planning software, used for planning and follow-up of production
Integrated information systems automate complete business processes along the value chain
(value system/supply chain)
- Integrated information systems are difficult to implement!
- Example: SAP
5
,To start implementing Integrated information systems
1. Whole organization: activities, customers, products…
2. A structured approach (methodology)
3. Underlying architecture – Overall design
4. Vision of the system to support the organization
5. Change hardware, software & business processes
6. Phases-manageable parts-limited time & finance
7. Not only IT specialists
Benefits of information systems
- Operational benefits
o Daily business processes more efficiently
o E.g. Time savings, better supply management, lower communication costs, …
- Tactical benefits
o Organization can better realize its goals
o E.g. Marketing campaigns, on-line knowledge databases, on-line parcel tracking
- Strategic benefits
o The business develops a better strategy
o E.g. Internet companies
→Not all benefits can be expressed in terms of money:
- Quantifiable benefits
o Represent an amount of money
o Can be estimated in advance
o Can be compared to the cost
o E.g. Stock decreases, personnel savings
- Non-quantifiable benefits
o Cannot (or can hardly) be expressed in money
o May however be important
o Should also be weighed in against the cost
o E.g. Better customer service, high tech image
ICT and competitive advantage
- IT can be used for competitive advantage
- IT resources, abundantly available on the market
- IT capabilities, takes years to develop, make a difference!
- See slides 27-31 for examples

,1.1.3. MAIN COMPONENTS OF ICT MANAGEMENT
Information system domains
Business processes
→Collection of structured activities to be carried out with a common goal of creating value for an organization.
• Resources (digital, system or human) are needed.
• Constraint by business rules.
• What happens in the organization?
• How are activities carried out?
• What rules and constraints are there?
• What are the results?
Applications
• Applications = software
• Structure and functionality
Data
• Business data → business processes (very structured)
• Application data → applications
• Content and structure of data
• Relations, rules, constraints
Infrastructure
• Hardware
• Software
• Communications (networks)
• a DMZ, or demilitarized zone, is a physical or logical subnet that separates a local area network (LAN) from other untrusted
networks -- usually, the public internet. DMZs are also known as perimeter networks or screened subnetworks.

,ICT strategy
- Business-IT alignment
- Set up, maintain IT decision structures
- Exert control
The business and system concerns
→3 concerns:
1. Stakeholders concerns
2. Business concerns
3. System concerns
→The concerns should be considered throughout the lifecycle
Stakeholders concerns
Business concerns → Worries and issues
→ Relates to stakeholders
• Products and Services
o How are they affected?
o How can we support existing products and services in a better
way?
o How can we improve the product and/or service?
• Economic aspects
o Project cost
o Operational (recurring) cost
o Benefits
• Compliance
o With laws (e.g., GDPR)
o With regulations (external, internal)
System concerns → Minimum quality requirements
→Quantitative thus measurable
• Service levels
o Availability & Reliability
o Capacity & Performance
o Support & Administration
• Usability
o User friendliness
o Maintainability
o Administrator
o Scalability
• Security
o Authentication : Who is who?
o Authorization : What are you allowed to do and what not?
o Confidentiality : You should not see what you are not allowed to
