Description
This text covers the "hot" computer technologies such as: right sizing; down sizing; outsourcing; re-engineering and re-use; client-server computing; and facilities management. Those concerned with developing corporate computer systems are having to plan for these and need to know how to implement them into new or existing information systems/structure. The author draws on practical experience and case studies from various companies such as United Distillers, Abbey National, Texas Instruments, British Parcel Force, Mothercare, Britannia Airways, Exxon, French Railways, American Express and others to demonstrate the practical issues/realities of the information technology and its management.
