Systems theory is one of the most important and well-used concept to explain the phenomenon in social sciences. Therefore, systems science plays an important role in explaining many of the phenomena in information systems research. Enterprise Systems (ES), Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) and Enterprise Architecture (EA) are three such emerging technologies in which systems’ perspective plays an important role in explaining the growth and development of these technologies. However, there is lack of literature that illustrates the development and the impact of systems science in these three technologies. This research carefully collects and studies 106 existing literature in the field of ES, EA and EIS, and a summary review of all the latest developments in the ways systems theory has been implemented to these three fields as well as different areas of these three technologies. In the conclusion, three future trends are concluded from the review.

System design is an important phase of system engineering, determining system architecture to satisfy specific requirements. System design focuses on analyzing performance requirements, system modeling and prototyping, defining and optimizing system architecture, and studying system design tradeoffs and risks. Modern enterprise information systems (EIS) are distributed systems usually built on multitiered client server architectures, which can be modeled using well-known frameworks, such as Zachman enterprise architecture or open distributed processing reference model (RM-ODP). Both frameworks identify different system models, named views, corresponding to discrete stakeholder’s perspectives, specific viewpoints, and could serve as a basis for model-based system design. The main focus of this chapter is to explore the potential of model-based design for enterprise information systems (EIS). To this end, the basic requirements for model-based EIS design are identified, while three alternative approaches are discussed based on the above requirements, namely, rational unified process for systems engineering (RUP SE), UML4ODP and EIS design framework.

There is a generalised consensus on the notable role that information systems and technologies (IS/IT) play in organisational performance. This evidence has been widely explored and recognised by both business practice and academia; as a result, the literature on information systems has acquired considerable relevance in the field of business administration due to its major role in the strategic process. In order to observe the impact of information systems research on the scientific community, we carried out a bibliometric study based on an analysis of the concurrences of the key words used in publications on the subject. This type of quantitative analysis can reveal the structure that supports a certain topic in a discipline and its evolution, as well as the most relevant related concepts. Specifically, six theoretical clusters were observed and defined: 1) data analytics, 2) electronic intra and inter-organisational exchanges, 3) dynamic capabilities, 4) geographical agglomerations, sustainability and tourism, 5) ERP, and 6) quality.

ABSTRACT: How does technology maturity and adoption affect samples, research issues, and use of methodologies in information systems? What is a source of some research issues in strategic and emerging technologies? This paper addresses these questions and others using some frameworks generated by a well-known corporate research group. Gartner Group has been an icon to its corporate clients. However, Gartner has received only limited attention by academics. This paper examines three related frameworks used by Gartner for analyzing information systems (IS) and accounting information systems (AIS) research. Although researchers have previously examined the adoption curve, they generally have ignored the impact of the technology maturity curve and the interaction of the two curves. The paper generates a number of findings, including the finding that where a technology is on the maturity curve limits and facilitates the type of research questions that can be addressed regarding that technology. In addition, Gartner’s “strategic technologies” can provide a basis for understanding which technologies are likely to be appropriate for analysis by researchers.

An enduring question in information systems research and practice concerns evaluation of the impact of information systems (IS). It endures, as to date there is no ready solution. Focusing on one aspect, measuring IS success or effectiveness, there are ranges of measures available. At one end of the scale we have perceptual measures like use and user satisfaction; somewhere along that scale we have the more objective measures like quality; whilst at the other end we have objective measures like increased market share, price recovery and increased product quality.

This paper establishes an enterprise information system configuration management model based on graph theory. Comb all nodes support enterprise information systems for the application system, host, operating system, middleware, database, applications, a database instance, network devices, storage devices, virtual host, virtual platform,11 kinds of configuration items. And sort out the relationships between them to no effect, no effect of virtual relationship, positive impact, positive impact of virtual relationships, reverse impact, reverse impact of virtual relations,6 kinds of relationships. All configurations supporting enterprise information systems and the relationships of them is seen as a weighted digraph. Then the weighted digraph is represented as an edge weight matrix. The edge weight matrix of a particular application system configuration relationships graph is solved according to the edge weight matrix of global configuration relationships graph, Help Operations staff clearly identify the composition of the information systems. The edge weight matrix of the impact of a change on a configuration item is solved according to the edge weight matrix of global configuration relationships graph. Provides a valuable reference views to operations staff when they repair a configuration.

Department of Culture and Tourism of Tana Toraja is one of the technical agencies in the Government of Tana Toraja. One of the main functions of this institute are to develop tourism to get economic and social benefits from tourism activities. An enterprise information systems based on information technology should be planned to provide an overview of information systems to support business process services. The planning is used EAP models. EAP models will define the business requirements and the architecture. From the research mentioned above, it has found that the application required in the information system is tourism website, financial application, human resources department (HRD) application, and Controlling and Evaluation application
