The previous chapter describes the problems of Enterprise Informatization in China. How can we solve these problems? If we cannot first propose the principles of informatization in China (these principles are the criteria for judging the advantages and disadvantages of Enterprise Informatization), then we cannot propose an effective solution for informatization of Chinese enterprises. Only when this solution complies with these principles can we consider that this solution can solve the existing problems and enable the informatization of Chinese enterprises to further develop. The following are the top ten principles for establishing enterprise informatization in China:
1. Planning Principles
At present, Enterprise Informatization in China is still in a spontaneous and disordered development state. From disorder to order is an inevitable process of development. To solve the disordered problem, we must first adhere to the planning principle, which means that planning is required for enterprise informatization. This plan can be explained from two aspects: on the one hand, enterprises must have plans for designing enterprise informatization, and on the other hand, they must have plans for the national development of enterprise informatization, in addition, enterprise planning should meet the requirements of national planning. Here, we did not emphasize the content of the plan, but did not describe what the plan was. We stressed the need for planning. Therefore, if an enterprise has no plans, no matter how many computer systems it runs, the Enterprise will still be spontaneous and out-of-order in information technology. If an enterprise has its own plan but does not comply with the national plan, or the country has no plan, the enterprise informationization in this enterprise or this country is still spontaneous and disordered. The establishment of national enterprise informatization planning and the establishment of Enterprise Informatization Planning are the primary conditions for China's enterprise informatization to move towards an orderly stage. How to plan is the subject of EOM research.
2. Global Principles
At present, most of our enterprise informatization construction projects are designed to meet the enterprise's own needs. However, our enterprise is not an isolated unit. It needs to share and exchange information with its external environment. These external environments include State administration agencies, enterprises in the same industry, and associated enterprises; with the development of enterprises, sharing and communication become more and more important and necessary. Therefore, if information sharing and exchange with the external environment is not considered during the establishment of enterprise informatization, this enterprise informatization is short-sighted and cannot meet the requirements of future enterprise development. Therefore, enterprises must have a global view of their informatization. Why does EOM stick to the global principle.
3. Layered Principle
How can we achieve the global principle? Enterprises must establish enterprise informatization at three levels: Cross-Industry, intra-industry, and intra-enterprise. That is to say, when an enterprise establishes its own informatization, it is far from enough if it only considers the needs of the enterprise. When developing an application system, you must consider how the same industry is done, and if you do it yourself, what is the impact on the same industry. In addition to the same industry, we must also consider cross-industry issues.
4. Architecture Principles
Adhering to the architecture principle is to divide any project or application system or cross-industry or intra-industry informatization into two parts: Architecture and content. The organization that partially completes the system is the main part of the system, which is relatively unchanged and easy to share. The content part is the final implementation of specific requirements under the framework. Currently, enterprises do not consider the architecture of application systems when developing application systems, but do not consider the informatization architecture of the entire enterprise, or have no architecture awareness. Most application systems are implemented overnight (regardless of the architecture and content), as long as the requirements are met. Because the country has no plans, it is impossible to talk about the informatization architecture across industries and the same industry. To judge the informatization level of an enterprise, we need to check whether the enterprise's application system has divided the system into two parts: Architecture and content. If there is no specific part, it indicates that the level is quite low. There will be repeated development of functions between application systems and confusion in function settings.
5. Principles of commonality and individuality
The so-called commonalities refer to the common characteristics of enterprise informatization. Personality refers to the special characteristics of enterprise informatization. The combination of commonality and individuality forms various things in enterprise informatization. When establishing or judging enterprise informatization, we must adhere to the principles of commonality and individuality. Adhering to the principle of commonality requires us to find out the common characteristics of things to the maximum extent. For example, if we want to find out the common characteristics of cross-industry enterprises, we need to find out the common characteristics of enterprises in the same industry, we need to find out the common features of information, functions, and architecture among various systems within the enterprise. Adhering to the individuality principle is to find out the particularity of things to the maximum extent. For example, we need to find out the particularity of information and functions between various systems of an enterprise.
Many people insist that every enterprise has different requirements, so it is impossible to have the same application system. In fact, this is to mix the commonalities and personalities of things into personalities. However, we separate the commonality and individuality of things to solve the problem of commonality, that is, how to implement individuality on the basis of commonality. If we solve the above problems, we have reason to think that different enterprises can use the same system. What are the commonalities and personalities of Enterprise Informatization? This is the solution that EOM brings to us.
6. Principles of commercialized software
Commercial Software refers to software that can be used by more than one enterprise. Commercial Software here is relative to customized software. The use of commercialized software in enterprise informatization is the only way for enterprise informatization development. Commercialization software share is another important indicator of an enterprise's informatization level. However, most enterprises currently use customized software. In addition, even if there are commercialized software, the number of users in the enterprise is very small. Therefore, many people think that personalized demands for Enterprise Informatization cannot be achieved through commercial software. Some people believe that commercial software may be used by enterprises in the same industry, but commercial software across industries cannot exist.
However, we have seen commercial office software being used across industries and financial software being used in the same industry. We have seen that database, Bi, middleware and other software are widely used in enterprise informatization, we have reason to believe that many commercialized software will be used across industries and the same industry in the future. Only commercialized software can solve the problems brought about by customized software. Only commercialized software can reduce the cost of enterprise informatization. Only by reducing the cost of enterprise informatization can we ensure the accelerated development and balanced development of Chinese enterprise informatization.
So what kind of commercial software does Chinese Enterprise Informatization need? Can these commercialized software meet the personalized needs of enterprises? EOM is the answer to this question.
7. Principles of Advancement
To establish enterprise informatization, we must adhere to the advanced nature, first, enterprises must adopt advanced enterprise management methods, establish an advanced enterprise informatization architecture, and adopt advanced commercialized software and software. Without these advanced features, its informatization level will not be too high. At present, due to the tight development time requirements, most developers have only one industry business programming experience, no cross-industry experience, and most of their needs are average, therefore, most of the customized software is neither advanced nor advanced in technology.
8. scalability Principle
To establish enterprise informatization, we must adhere to the principle of scalability and require an application system to be scalable and adapt to the requirements of future enterprise development, rather than regular system upgrades.
9. standardization principles
Many people think that standardization is the key to enterprise informatization. This indeed demonstrates the importance of standardization. Enterprises should adopt standardization to the maximum extent, so the degree of standardization reflects the level of enterprise informatization. But what is standardization in enterprise informatization and how to achieve standardization is a very difficult question to answer. Because many enterprises do not care about standardization and do not have the ability to standardize, this leads to information duplication, duplicate functions, and other chaotic situations. While EOM will try to explain what is standardization in enterprise informatization, What is the content of standardization, what is standardization classification, and how to implement standardization.
10. Standardize Business Principles
The establishment of enterprise informatization should not only replace manual work with computers, but more importantly, adopt the most advanced business models and processes through enterprise informatization to standardize the business, in this way, the overall operating level of the enterprise is improved. If an enterprise fails to standardize its business through informatization, its informatization level is still in its initial stage.
With the ten principles for establishing and judging the informatization of Chinese enterprises, we can evaluate the informatization level of various enterprises, but this is not our purpose. Our goal is to establish the overall enterprise informatization architecture and specific implementation methods in China based on these principles and EOM theory.
