Organizations often ignore the use information technology infrastructure, Business Intelligence and ERP software to improvise their decision making process due to which organizational agility is suffered. Such organizations fail to make decisions according to the needs of the market that leads to the loss of market share. Based on the contingency theory, conceptual model of this study was developed using the constructs of IT Infrastructure Flexibility, Business Intelligence Use, ERP Assimilation, and Organizational Agility. Survey method was used to collect the data from the managers and executives, who are involved in the key decision making process in any organization. Total 253 out of 265 responses were considered valid and PLS SEM approach was used to test the direct and indirect effects. Results indicate that mediating effect of Business Intelligence Use and ERP Assimilation between IT Infrastructure Flexibility and Organizational Agility has been substantiated. Findings of this study conclude that IT Infrastructure should be improvised, specifically when organization is going to adopt the ERP systems and Business Intelligence to make the timely decisions according to the requirements of the market that ultimately affects the Organizational Agility.

This article mainly investigates the impact of information technology (IT) infrastructure on organizational agility. Primary data collected from 300 business and IT executives working in various publicly owned banking groups functioning across India have been used for this study and a structural equation modelling (SEM) is employed to assess the IT-agility link. This article reports two-folded research findings. First, IT infrastructure enables both the sensing and responding components of organizational agility. Second, firms should not overlook the IT-agility contradiction, that is, the impeding role of IT towards achieving augmented agility. This study greatly contributes to the information systems (IS) literature as it has meticulously explored the much discussed but understudied human IT-agility linkage. The present research has successfully established the significant positive relationship between the critical dimensions of agile human IT infrastructure, namely, business functions, interpersonal management, technology management expertise and organizational sensing and responding agilities.

The case centers on Shilling & Smith's acquisition of Xteria Inc. and the resulting need to quickly scale the company's IT infrastructure to accommodate the acquisition. The case is based on a real leasing problem faced by a major retail firm in the Chicago area when it purchased a small credit card processing firm and scaled the operations to handle the retail firm's credit card transactions. The CIO of Shilling & Smith needs to determine which lease option is the best means of providing the technical infrastructure needed to support the firm after the acquisition of Xteria. Several issues will drive this decision, including the value and useful life of the equipment, as well as the strategic context of the firm. This case examines how to evaluate different lease options when acquiring data center information technology infrastructure. Specifically, the case addresses software vs. hardware leasing, different lease terms, and choosing between different lease structures depending on the strategy and needs of a company. This case enables students to understand the different types of technology leases and in which situations these leases would be employed.The Shilling & Smith case examines how to evaluate different lease options when acquiring data center information technology infrastructure.

Many organizations are struggling with a vast amount of data in order to gain valuable insights and get support in their decision-making process. Decision-making quality depends increasingly on information and the systems that deliver this information. These services are vulnerable and risky from security aspects, and they have to satisfy several requirements, like transparency, availability, accessibility, convenience, and compliance. IT environments are more and more complex and fragmented, which means additional security risks. Business intelligence solutions provide assistance in these complex business situations. Their main goal is to assist organizations to make better decisions. Better decisions means that these solutions support the management of risks, and they have a key role in raising revenue and in reducing cost. The objectives of this chapter are to give an overview of the business intelligence field and its future trends, to demonstrate the most important business intelligence solutions, meanwhile highlighting their risks, business continuity challenges, and IT audit issues. In spite of the fact that this chapter focuses on the business intelligence solutions and their specialities, risk management and the related IT audit approach can be applied for other categories of information systems. IT audit guidelines, best practices, and standards are presented as well, because they give effective tools in controlling process of business intelligence systems.

In recent years, the increase of average waiting times in waiting lists is an issue that has been felt in health institutions. Thus, the implementation of new administrative measures to improve the management of these organizations may be required. Hereupon, the aim of this present work is to support the decision-making process in appointments and surgeries waiting lists in a hospital located in the north of Portugal, through a pervasive Business Intelligence platform that can be accessed anywhere and anytime by any device connected within the hospital's private network. By representing information that facilitate the analysis of information and knowledge extraction, the Web tool allows the identification in real-time of average waiting times outside the outlined patterns. Thereby, the developed platform permits their identification, enabling their further understanding in order to take the necessary measures. Thus, the main purpose is to enable the reduction of average waiting times through the analysis of information in order to, subsequently, ensure the satisfaction of patients.

Growing pressure on increasing decision-making speed in all spheres of human life is one of the basic phenomena of today. Immediately after the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic, we can consider the ability of making good decisions quickly as one of the most important aspects of our being. The main objective of this article is to find out the utilization rate of several basic decision-making approaches in selected companies with an emphasis on newly used methods such as data analysis and business intelligence tools. The first part of the article presents a short introduction of the decision-making process and an overview of hitherto known and used tools facilitating the whole procedure. The submitted study of available literature leads to the presentation of own classification of the most widely used decisionmaking methods. Based on a questionnaire survey, in the second section, the pilot research examines the involvement of five different groups of methods in business decision-making, such as intuition and previous experiences, consultation with colleagues, data analysis (historical), MCDM methods and consultation with experts. Afterwards, the most common obstacles that employees must face in introducing new tools have been identified. In general, the results show that time and the associated pressure on decision-making speed play a crucial role in the decision-making process.
