Enterprise Management Systems - EMS

 

Computer, electronics, communication, and audio video technologies have converged closely to produce a new style of operating business. The dynamic business environment of today is full of challenges and opportunities. The dependence on the information, as a driving energy source, is increasing. Every business activity has additional dimensions, viz., speed and time.  The business needs of today are beyond the transaction processing. It requires an instant real time response in every case, wherever it occurs.

 

The word enterprise is chosen to convey that it encompasses the larger business community covering all the players and their participation in the business.  The system is extended beyond the corporate boundaries.  In such a scenario, the system which you are designing is an enterprise wide. It must catch an event, interpret it and trigger the action, and communicate it across to the enterprise. Since, business is information hungry, it must have an ability to sense the situation and act accordingly. When the business requires on-line information to make the informed, knowledge-based decisions and have them executed in the business operations in a coordinated manner, it has to take support of many other systems.
