Description
This book will help reluctant computer managers to think about their computing facilities in a positive and constructive way. It provides practical advice that will not only help them to control current operations but also to plan for the future. Although they may have pursued a completely different professional career, and had the role of DP manager thrust upon them, this book will show them how to turn this to their advantage by mastering the principles of commonsense computer management. The author explains how, if attention is paid to just a small number of points, even the most reluctant DP manager can become a competent professional. He sets out the basic principles of good computer management which are applicable no matter which computer system has been installed in the office. Ray Franks is a qualified accountant. He is a co-founder and director of AFK Associates Ltd, a company which specialises in the provision and implementation of accountancy and related systems. He was the consultant editor of "Management Information Systems Briefing 1".
