In the previous chapter, what are the principles for establishing the informatization of Chinese enterprises? What are the criteria for judging the advantages and disadvantages of Enterprise Informatization? Then, how can we provide a complete solution to the informatization of Chinese enterprises? How do we think about this solution? What is the logic of thinking?

1,Design Enterprise Informatization into a system

The Development of Enterprise Informatization in China is no longer the beginning of the period. We have a lot of experience and lessons in enterprise informatization. Nowadays, many enterprises often focus on how to implement a specific project when carrying out enterprise informatization. Many people think that the more projects there are, the higher the level of enterprise informatization. It is this wrong idea that leads to the weakening of enterprises' overall grasp of informatization, leading to the disorder of internal informatization and the reduction of their attention to external information exchange and sharing (and some do not even pay attention to it ). This situation will seriously affect the development of enterprise informatization in China to a higher stage. How can we grasp Enterprise Informatization in general? The most important thing is that we must design enterprise informatization as a system. If we design enterprise informatization as a system, we may consider and solve all problems related to enterprise informatization within a system. So what is the name of a system when enterprise information is turned into a system? We temporarily call it the enterprise operating model system (EOMs ). Because the enterprise business model contains all the business activities of the enterprise, and the enterprise information is centered around the business activities of the enterprise. Of course, this system can also have other names, but the most important thing is that this system can solve all the information problems in enterprise business activities.

2,Objectives of Enterprise Informatization

The goal of enterprise informatization is to be consistent with the ultimate goal of enterprise operation, that is, to maximize enterprise profits. This profit may be short-term or long-term. That is to say, informatization should serve various business activities to maximize the profits of enterprises. If Enterprise Informatization hinders the realization of this goal, it is wrong or ahead of schedule. Therefore, we do not think that all informatization is a good thing. The key is to carry out the evaluation on specific enterprises, we must have a deep understanding of this. The enterprise informatization goal is the embodiment of the enterprise's business objectives in the informatization aspect:

1)Establish the overall architecture of Enterprise Informatization

In the future, all informatization work will be carried out within this framework to avoid disorderly development of enterprise informatization.

2)Gradually implement the electronic business and management process, minimizing the manual labor intensity of business personnel and management personnel, facilitating customers to purchase and provide customer services. (Recent goals)

3)Fast information flow and comprehensive sharing within an enterprise

4)Establishes information exchange and sharing between internal information systems of enterprises and external companies in the same industry, across industries, and the Internet.

5)Achieve integration of business and management processes through information technology, promote the improvement of enterprise business models, and further promote the forward development of enterprises (long-term goals)

The above is also the design goal of EOMs.

3,Separation of Business and Management

In the long-term process of enterprise informatization, we found that enterprise informatization often starts from reducing manual labor. Many enterprises started from the financial system, because the financial system can reduce the manual workload of writing creden, accounting, statistics, and report production, and the financial information can be conveniently saved and conveniently queried and processed after it enters the computer. With the development of enterprise informatization, enterprises will focus on business system construction and vigorously develop business systems. The business system contains many management functions, for example, a business system can generate statistical reports. It is characterized by a mix of business and management within a system. This is also related to the business model of enterprises. Many enterprises do not strictly divide business and management by region. Instead, they use a human-based system to meet individual requirements. If this system requires both business and management, this inevitably leads to a combination of business and management. With the further development of enterprise informatization, the enterprise business model is constantly evolving towards a specialized division of labor. The distinction between business and management is very obvious in actual work, it is manifested in the fact that enterprise managers are concerned about the timely acquisition of enterprise operation statistics, the acquisition of enterprise operation statistical analysis information, and the timely delivery of enterprise decision-making information. These business statistical information is not a single system information, but a comprehensive statistics of various system information. Objectively, it is necessary to establish a management information system to meet the requirements of managers. Therefore, the separation of business systems and management information systems is one of the symbols of the Enterprise Informatization Process. From the perspective of EOM, enterprise management is one of the seven elements of enterprise business activities and the highest level of enterprise business activities. Therefore, it is scientific and theoretical basis to divide Enterprise Informatization into business systems and management information systems.

Dividing an enterprise into business and management has the following meanings:

1)This enables scientific and logical division of enterprise operations, avoids the mixed business and management situations, and makes the business and management clearer.

2)Make the business more professional

Because the business is independent from the business operation, the role of the business in the business operation is more prominent, especially the product-centered enterprise, its role is more obvious. Enterprises can focus on resources to develop their businesses, and further segment their businesses into more professional ones. This makes business development the most important factor for enterprise development.

3)Makes management more prominent

Many enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, do not distinguish between business and management. Some managers do both management and business, and management is often drowned in the business. The requirement of modern enterprises is to strengthen management and promote management to a very high level. One principle is the independence of management. Therefore, the separation of management from business operations helps enterprises improve management awareness and management level, so as to cultivate a group of professional management personnel and form a group of professional managers in China.

4)Convenient Information Processing

(1)Two independent subsystems (BIS business information system and MIS Management Information System) can be formed under the EOMs framework)

(2)You can consider building two separate networks: Business Network and Management Network (small enterprises can not be separated) to ensure normal and preferential operation of bis, and the two systems do not interfere with each other.

4,Differentiation between business and management

In actual work, how can we distinguish between business activities, management activities, and our criteria?

We think that any specific activity involving employees in producing products and providing customer services is called a business activity. It has the following features:

1)Activity subject

Business subjects are enterprise employees (few senior managers) or enterprise customers.

2)Product and business problems

It is directly related to the design, production, sales, after-sales maintenance and other activities of products or services.

3)Data Source

Business activities generate data and result data of the business system.

4)Effectiveness

Business activities are usually real-time on the day, and business activities are generally not interrupted or postponed.

We believe that all managers at all levels of an enterprise and external supervisory authorities plan, analyze, direct, implement, direct, inspect, and supervise business activities of an enterprise. It has the following features:

1)Activity subjects are managers at all levels of an enterprise (few employees), or external organizations

2)Its management activities do not directly apply to products or services and related businesses.

3)Data Source

Generally, it comes from the business system. Processing of existing data

4)Effectiveness

Management activities are often held every other day or longer, and there is no urgency or unpredictability.

5,Large Management of Small Businesses

In actual classification of business and management, we must adhere to the big concept of enterprise operation. In enterprise operation, there must be business activities, management activities, and other activities, to ensure the integrity of business activities, we will define an extension of management activities, that is, non-business activities are called management activities. In this way, the business can be more professional, and the management scope can be expanded to ensure that enterprise information covers all business activities.

6,EOMsArchitecture Diagram

To sum up, from EOM, we can turn enterprise information into a system. This system is called the enterprise business model system EOMs, this system consists of business information system bis and Management Information System MIS. This is the highest level of EOMs architecture, which is the most important foundation for enterprise informatization.

With this scientific architecture, we can look at the current situation of enterprise informatization around us and check the architecture. From this, you can find many enterprise architecture problems.

 If we design bis, we will gradually give our design ideas on how to design MIS.
