CIO's responsibilities, conditions and values

From the success rate of ERP project, we can know that the Enterprise Informationization Road is long, from the enterprise to the investment enthusiasm of ERP, we can know Enterprise Informationization already is the Battle of life and death of enterprise. For the success of information technology, many experts and scholars are emphasizing "number one" project, ISO to "number One" project, customer relationship to "number one" project, and even fire to "number One" project, if such words may be as long as the Monkey King can have ubiquitous when the leader and decision-maker of the good business.

In fact, under the attention of "number one", enterprises need to have a good division of functions, the specific planning, decision-making, implementation of different directions to the function leader to do, it is based on such management ideas, Western enterprises have appeared the CEO, CFO, CCO, CIO and other roles in the Western Business management culture Exchange, Along with China's accession to the WTO, these roles are also being entered into Chinese enterprises, including local companies and foreign-invested enterprises.

The rationality of existence is relatively easy to understand, but what kind of existence state in line with the needs of enterprises to seriously think about, especially with information technology closely related to the CIO, can be said to be the product of the times, not more than 20 years, in the domestic ERP craze, e-commerce craze is really paid attention to by enterprises.

We are here to discuss the responsibilities, competencies, and values of the CIO role, and welcome all your friends to participate in the discussion.

CIO's Role analysis

Information or intelligence for the enterprise has always been an important value, intelligence officer is the military war for generals to provide decision-making helper, and no doubt CIO is the product of information, but also the enterprise into the information society as a symbol, CIO the role of the connotation and extension than the intelligence officer or IT director is much wider.

Brief review of Enterprise Informatization

If we do some analysis of the concept of information, we can find something interesting. In the war, the more typical is the intelligence, only to the enemy personnel layout, weapons and equipment, combat plan master, in the traditional enterprise, more known as the data, that is, many historical records or summary forms; After the advent of information theory, people in-depth study of the relationship between events, Discovering the interactive feedback process has contributed greatly to the development of things, so people are beginning to attach importance to the new concept of information.

The development of computer makes the communication between different groups and people in society increase rapidly, the information begins to affect people's decision-making, and is finally recognized by enterprises. The informationization of the enterprise becomes the important aspect of its development and forming the competitive power, especially in the enterprise group which takes the supply chain as the guideline of competition, the information is the link that sustains its cooperative relationship. However, the construction of information technology is a very difficult task for enterprises, because it involves the latest high-tech technology, but also involves the management of enterprises, with cross-functional characteristics.

Since the enterprise information resources in the development, can create a huge competitiveness for the enterprise. Especially in the supply chain competition environment, the information processing ability almost becomes the foundation which decides the enterprise development direction. From GE's capital operation, we can understand how the CEO uses the information to support decision-making, and the speed of strategic acquisition is based on the building of information, and the rapid information response ability brings the development opportunity of the enterprise.

a new role in the Information Age

The development of enterprises has the boss, the founder, in the continuous development of the formation of management, the formation of the highest level of the role of decision-making people. Formerly known as the deputy general manager responsible for a certain aspect, in the management concept of more modern enterprise Job division, the Financial Controller (CFO), marketing Director (CCO), technical Director (CTO) and other positions, for their responsibilities to the role of rectification.

CIO of the enterprise is also the information director, the same birth in this era, on the one hand is the clarity of management functions, on the other hand is the development of information technology, so that enterprise informatization becomes the basic investment of competitiveness, if the past enterprises only need to invest in plant, equipment, personnel to obtain productivity, Modern enterprises must invest in information technology, so that enterprises in the information platform to operate.

It is based on this social development, the role of the CIO can be said to be a new role in the enterprise, because the development of information technology is not very old things, information technology in the enterprise's application is only about 20 years of time. But we can really realize that many enterprises in the information-related problems, the value of information, planning, implementation are more confused, in turn, the role of information director is therefore clear.

share the burden of work for business leaders

CIOs, like CFOs and Cho, derive from specific functions, and are formed as businesses grow and compete. Now, some small and medium-sized enterprises are also in the establishment of such a post, in fact, just want to get the packaging effect, just like the country size, these enterprises need is the right to dialogue with large enterprises.

In the development of large enterprises, the role of CIO is to participate in enterprise information strategy planning, for the Enterprise informatization layout. As we have discussed in the previous pages, the emphasis here is on the global mindset that CIOs need to share the responsibilities of CEOs and boards.

In other words, the CIO's position is the position of the enterprise decision-making and leadership, the responsibility of this level of management is not to complete a task, but to formulate the direction of the work, driving the development of enterprise in the direction of information technology, determine the investment in information technology, and to translate these inputs into the value of helping enterprises to operate.

CEO, CIO, CFO and so on are the driving force of business development, should have the cause of mission, initiative for the development of enterprises to undertake the task.

CIO's position in the enterprise

The CIO position comes as information technology grows in demand for enterprise applications, and CIO's position increases with the value of information technology in the enterprise. All of these factors are determined by their position in the enterprise resource element, so we see the CFO appearing, seeing the emergence of the CCO, and seeing the CTO emerge.

In fact, the CIO concept itself has taught us that this position is worthy of the establishment of companies that value information technology as a core competency in the development of enterprises. These enterprises should at least in the information technology to make strategic development positioning, with long-term development vision, to plan and realize their own information objectives.

So CIO is the enterprise's information strategy planners, and the complexity of promoting information system tells us that the real-time application of information systems is often number one project, CIO only become the left arm of the CEO, can coordinate information technology and Business unit cooperation, help enterprises to improve the level of information.

Some companies or companies that set up many cxo for bluffing are actually just jewelery, and they set up CIOs just to claim that they have become giants, and that the shells are actually just straws. It's also easy to identify, and these "CIOs" are either tinkering with the network or burying themselves in lines of code.

CIO's value contribution to the Enterprise

Enterprise competition is always talking about value concept, "Create value for customers" has become the most appealing expression, at least also "every day in the effort". Information technology personnel to survive in the enterprise, the same effort, can become a greater contribution to the enterprise CIO.

guiding enterprises to maintain competitive advantage in the information society

All of the analysis of the CIO's responsibilities here revolves around keeping the enterprise competitive in the information society, and even so, it is worth emphasizing the specific role of the CIO in this regard. After China's accession to the WTO, the foundation of international multinationals ' competitive advantage in China lies in the rich capital and advanced management experience, and another important aspect is the leading information technology.

The United States is undoubtedly the largest information technology exporter, with its strong capital, in the information technology to start earlier, China's first-class ERP system is still from the United States, and more than China's ERP products at least 15 years ahead. This phenomenon has fully explained that the U.S. enterprises in the development of information technology has been to what extent, because the United States software companies are not back to Shejinqiuyuan to develop China's market.

It is a development policy of China to promote industrialization by informationization. The formulation of this policy is based on the research and analysis of the dynamics of global economic development, which is of practical guiding significance for enterprises. Lenovo Group in the ERP project of huge investment, is not to obtain a halo, practice proves that no ERP investment, Lenovo Group can not achieve today's competitive position.

What we want to see is that the CIO of the enterprise must have a full understanding of this economic development situation and shoulder the task of guiding enterprises to maintain competitive advantage in the information society environment.

Mining Enterprise's information resources

Enterprise's living space is due to its ability to integrate resources to create, entrepreneurs invest in plant, equipment, production technology, staff and other resources, to create wealth for the community, access to development space. In the information age, the resources needed for enterprise development have changed, and all kinds of decisions are made after the collection and analysis of information, and the resource value of information is gradually recognized by enterprises.

In such times, information also naturally becomes an important resource in its operation and development, production activities, marketing activities and strategic decisions of enterprises are inseparable from the help of information resources. Enterprises need to have a special department to achieve the information resources collection, processing, management, analysis of the function, in the value of information becomes increasingly important, the direction of the manager has appeared, the specific work of the CIO is clear.

For enterprises, information resources include the means of production, personnel information, all kinds of information used to express the state of enterprise is the object of information mining. The information resources outside the enterprise are equally abundant, which is equally important to the various decision-making meanings of enterprises, such as market information, customer information, industry development and so on.

It can be said that tapping enterprise information resources is the historical mission of CIO, regards information as the resource of enterprise survival and development, and is also the newest idea of the Times, and will never be abandoned again.

improving the value of enterprise information resources

Under the environment of market economy, the core competence of enterprises is manifested in the direction of production capacity, innovation ability and marketing ability, and the resources needed include equipment, plant, personnel and information resources. Especially in the information age with the supply chain as the competitive link, the contribution of information resources to the enterprise, the contribution to the partners should not be neglected.

The formation of the seller or buyer's market is not only determined by the balance of supply and demand, but also by the asymmetry of information and the adjustment of the position of the buyers and sellers. In the ERP market, we see that the market supply is already very rich, but because the manufacturing industry is not enough knowledge of ERP, product selection is also misleading.

In the cooperation with the enterprise upstream and downstream, the closure of information makes it possible to establish a cooperative relationship is destroyed, such as the clothing industry, because the supply chain of information supply is not enough to appear "bullwhip effect", unnecessarily enlarge the market demand information, information delays are misleading enterprises to stock, the results of enterprises assume many unnecessary risks, There have been cases that the largest Chinese apparel industry in the United States has collapsed.

From these aspects, the CIO responsible for enterprise informatization should take the burden of mining enterprise information resources for granted. This responsibility is not entirely technical, the understanding of competitive intelligence is just as important, need to master not only computer technology, but also know how to obtain information from the market business needs.

developing Enterprise Informatization strategy

The reason why enterprises should excavate information resources is because in the past management, all kinds of means of production play the role of operation instruction, then they become static archives data, which are used in enterprise decision-making more weakly. Through the central understanding and understanding of information, it is now emphasized that information flow, logistics and capital flow coordination, three kinds of elements running through the enterprise to synthesize, need to strengthen the mining of resources.

Information resources Mining is the fundamental driving force of enterprise informatization, because information technology uses the latest social development science and technology, information related to enterprise hardware investment, software investment, process reengineering, staffing and other aspects of the problem, CIOs face is not only a single technical problem, the road of information is not like factory, The direction that the device can be quickly implemented.

CIO in the enterprise to formulate information strategy of the role of nature, especially in the past few years after the investment boom, many enterprises have tasted the suffering of ERP, the face of information-based enterprise attitude has become "on the ERP is to find dead, not on the ERP is dead", information needs is not simple procurement, But a long-term enterprise development strategy, but also can support the realization of enterprise development strategy.

The thinking of information strategy, not only how to buy the system, how to buy software, more important is to grasp the value of information resources, and other resources of the enterprise fit, so that enterprises can step-by-step realization of the use of information technology, from the competition, the development of the platform to obtain support.

for the Enterprise informatization layout

Many enterprises in the ERP, the experience is the same as Waterloo failure, the crux of the problem lies in the implementation of this specific information technology objectives, did not do a good job in the development of the layout, thought to buy a set of management system, the consultant company in accordance with its methodology to launch a powerful offensive, things can go smoothly.

In this regard, the role of the CIO can not only be placed on the investment of the system, to the enterprise's information development layout, from the long-term development of the goal, the concept of ideas, personnel, information system layout, for the enterprise's decision-makers to introduce ideas for the enterprise staff to arrange training, grasp the information system project investment, Maximize the value of your investment.

In the Enterprise information layout, CIO needs to understand the relationship between enterprise development and various departments, according to the principle of value concept to achieve a variety of development goals, in response to the situation of enterprises using top-down, or bottom-up strategies to guide enterprises to achieve information, the ultimate goal is to achieve the integration of information flow, logistics and capital flow.

The CIO's understanding of the information layout should be viewed from the perspective of development, investment and efficiency. The value idea is asks why to do this, to the enterprise development contribution how? Can investment play an effective role? Is it a match with the informatization layout?

Maintain enterprise Informatization environment

Enterprise's information strategy, information planning, or to implement is a specific matter. Small things include buying a computer and troubleshooting users; Big things include developing an application system and purchasing an ERP project. These are the responsibility of the CIO, need to manage a team to ensure the normal operation of the enterprise information equipment or system, but also to ensure that there is a new information system and the development of enterprises to match.

Of course, it is the CIO's most important duty to operate the Informatization project from the angle of macroscopic development, including analyzing the process of the enterprise, compiling the analysis Report of enterprise flow status, researching the enterprise process and development, compiling the target planning report, organizing the Manpower inspection market, compiling the product supply and service selection report. , more pragmatic investment in the operation of the project to achieve "master plan, step-up implementation, efficiency first" goal.

The maintenance of information environment more broadly describes the role of CIO, in fact, for the development of enterprises to provide a full range of information services to help enterprises in the information environment to successfully complete the work, improve work efficiency. Computer has just entered the enterprise, the earliest role may be the processing of documents, the scope of application is very small, the business is irrelevant; After the Computer Management of network and information, the security and stability of the system is closely related to the operation of the enterprise, and there can be no mishap.

Although we can all feel the significance of information, but also accept the "information-driven industrialization" concept of development. But to the enterprise decision-maker, the question that needs to answer more is how to realize informationization, realize the contribution of informationization to enterprise development.

In fact, as long as it is possible to assess the value of information on enterprise development, understand the role of each investment can play a clear understanding of the investment benefits, it is not difficult to make decisions. CIOs need to play an important role in helping the company's entire decision-making team to evaluate the value of information, and not just in theory, but to establish quantitative models to justify this value, and to assess the size of that value.

Evaluate the value of informatization, and then guide enterprises to invest in information technology to achieve the goal of informatization. That is, to have the value theory of doing things, to find information in the enterprise operation chain of value, and quantified out, not by qualitative judgment to arrange information-based projects, all to value as the basis to grasp the information process.

It is a great challenge for the CIO to undertake the value evaluation of information, and the quantitative value analysis method needs hard work, because it is too convenient to look at the neighbors to decide the informatization.

Complete procurement tasks for information products

Information technology is inseparable from the hardware system and software system, the CIO will naturally assume the task of completing the procurement of information products for enterprises. The completion of the procurement of information products requires a full understanding of the market operation mode, in order to go beyond the negotiations, for system integrators, software vendors and enterprises to create a win-winning situation. Of course, companies will be the biggest winners.

In the business environment that focuses on outsourcing, the procurement of information products is still not a package in the end, the CIO really represents the interests of the enterprise, outsourced more planning and technical support part. The procurement management of information products has the same place as other purchases, and there are also different places.

In the aspect of hardware integration, it is necessary to focus on the direction of technology development. Through tendering, supplier qualification management, etc., can be more effective to ensure the investment benefits of enterprises, there are many very accurate and clear technical standards can help judge the price of products, for enterprises to buy the right products, complete integration tasks.

In the procurement of software systems, the issues involved include business process reengineering, staffing and other aspects of the enterprise management level. Understanding the application value of ERP, SCM, CRM and other software systems, product selection, project implementation, to cooperate with software suppliers to establish the enterprise information system, is the CIO's important responsibility.

responsible for the integration of information flow, logistics and capital flows

On the road of Enterprise Informationization, building Internal network, company website, purchasing ERP and other software systems is only a start to realize the informatization goal, the real informatization goal is to integrate the information flow, logistics and capital flow of enterprise, and provide decision information for enterprise decision-makers by establishing the information-based working environment.

The integration of information flow, logistics and capital flow will completely change the decision-making system and execution system of enterprises, and the emphasis of enterprise number one is indeed the precondition of success, and the specific responsibility to realize this kind of integration is more to the CIO. Complete this task needs to understand the operation and management of the enterprise, strategic development and daily business, but also need to understand the role of information systems, Master planning, step-up implementation of the working methods.

The establishment of ERP and other enterprise information management system, just from the positive and use of data to help enterprises to advance a step, and realize the integration of information flow, logistics, capital flow, for enterprises is based on business process reengineering objectives of the Enterprise revolution, must have lofty momentum and courage, but also to have a down-to-earth spirit, There are scientific decision-making theories and methodological guidelines.

If the enterprise was founded in about 5 years, at the beginning of the venture will inevitably invest in information systems, this integration task is not difficult, it will become a basic business Operation model. But for companies that have had decades or more than 10 of years of history, this integration is more challenging and the biggest test for CIOs.

ensure enterprises do not lag behind the Times

Backward will be beaten, in the enterprise development, that is, will be ruthless competition. The core meaning of the information age is that the information resources have become the part of the enterprises to participate in the competition to seek development, and only by paying enough attention to the excavation of the information resources, the integration of the enterprise flow, logistics and capital flows, enterprises can gain the opportunity of development.

The CIO's responsibility is to continue to promote the process of enterprise informatization, this responsibility is a sense of mission, rather than to complete a CEO's task, in the corporate leadership decision-making circle, all direction of the Director should be the direction of the business is the driving force, not just to obey the CEO.

Informatization and make the enterprise future development strategy important component, not only CIO to devote all the effort to the information construction, even the CEO also need to implement information strategy as an important work content, ERP project number one project meaning is here.

The CIO's role is also to look at the development of the industry in a strategic perspective, to find competitors in the information-based investment strategy, and to formulate a corresponding competitive investment program to ensure that the core competitiveness of enterprises, not because of the neglect of information and be hit.

CIO's Quality and ability

The ability to comprehend the development trend of information technology

China is the input of information technology, especially after the accession to the WTO, our enterprises in order to cooperate with international multinational companies, in the information-based production of strong demand. In this context, we even propose to use information to promote industrialization, there is no doubt that CIOs need to provide enterprises with strategic planning of information technology objectives.

CIO's task and the high-tech content of information technology show that CIOs must have the ability to comprehend the trend of information technology, the more accurately foresee the development direction of information technology, the more the value of Informationization can be played out in time, the more the enterprise's core competitiveness will be strengthened.

With the rapid development of information technology, the well-known Moore's Law has confused the older managers, including professionals, and the speed of information technology has actually surpassed the foresight ability of normal people, and the business concept which is closely connected with information technology emerges from one after another. Open the Information Management System product catalog, everywhere MRP, Mrp-ii, ERP, SCM, CRM, TOC, BPR and so on.

How to make these systems in the appropriate time into the enterprise, as a part of the enterprise Informatization, the development of information technology and evaluation of the value of the CIO is one of the tasks on the shoulder. Only by fully understanding these concepts, the value of specific products can be a good way for enterprises to grasp the direction of information-based investment.

rich knowledge of modern enterprise management

We can find the role of CIO from various angles, has evolved from the technical level to the management level of the enterprise, the specific information management system, regardless of hardware, software or network integration in the direction of outsourcing, professional firms to provide comprehensive solutions for enterprises, and assist enterprises to implement.

However, the planning tasks of these systems, enterprises in the information needs of the enterprise is not entirely clear from the outside, the information to study is not only the system operating platform, software development platform, more important is to study the production and management model of enterprises, management form, figuring out how the enterprise's decision-making system and implementation system is operating, On these basis, we can find the value of information system for enterprises to play a point.

Analysis of the information flow, logistics, capital flow is not simply from the business unit to find the report, but also need to understand the production characteristics of enterprises, internal and external aspects of the value chain is how to form, their dependence on the relationship. These understanding needs is the enterprise operation management Knowledge, the value analysis is the most important analysis tool, the CIO needs these qualities only from the understanding and the design system is not enough, needs the thorough study and grasps the modern enterprise management knowledge.

the comprehensive analysis ability of enterprise development

After the ERP, SCM, CRM and other systems to the enterprise application, the international multinational company first realized the importance of informatization to the development of enterprises, the United States GE e-commerce and Six Sigma Management as an enterprise to create value, lay the foundation of its future development of the two major platforms. In other words, informatization is not static, but continuous improvement.

CIO for the Enterprise planning information strategy, the same should be able to develop the problem, with the comprehensive analysis of enterprise development ability, not static observation of the current situation of enterprises, but also to analyze the external development opportunities of enterprises, how is information and enterprise development strategy is closely linked together.

This comprehensive analysis of the CIO is certainly more in the evaluation of the value of the information system, the more excellent aspects include the understanding of enterprise process reengineering, Enterprise Alliance Strategy Understanding, Enterprise acquisition and operation of understanding, new product development strategy understanding. These aspects are the driving force of enterprise development, Informatization is always a platform tool, to help enterprises in these strategic actions to establish a suitable information system.

Enterprise development is not isolated, and information development is not isolated. The development of Informationization to enhance the enterprise's decision-making system and the efficiency of the implementation system, the development of enterprises for information technology to provide the necessary human and material Foundation, the role of CIO is to coordinate their relationship, with the ability to analyze the value of information investment.

technical capability Background conditions

In the role of CIO, our focus on management capabilities and the overall concept of enterprise development. However, it is important to emphasize the technical competence background of the CIO, as well as the experience of project development, implementation experience and planning experience.

In the field of information technology, including hardware and software, the hardware aspect is the design and construction of computer network, and the software aspect is the specific development, planning and implementation of information system. The CIO's technical ability is not simply to know the computer maintenance, network cable Connection or program development, the higher level of content reflected in the Enterprise computer network to provide service stability, security evaluation ability, software is the application of the direction of planning ability.

The informatization of the enterprise is composed of computer network and information management system, the planning of computer network is more emphasis on technology, need to have sharp tentacles to new technology new products. Information management system involves the understanding of enterprise management, product selection, the implementation of many other aspects of the project, the CIO's technical capabilities in particular can be integrated within and outside the enterprise resources, the planning of information projects.

The choice of CIOs is to consider all these aspects of experience, rich experience and experience can reduce the risk of exploration, is the CIO's contribution to the enterprise.

Management Competency Background conditions

The process of enterprise informatization is not only the completion of the routine maintenance tasks of IT department, but also many construction tasks need detailed planning, coordination with production, procurement, sales and other departments to complete, there are many tasks that need to be outsourced. As an enterprise CIO, there is a particular need for experience and competence in project management, goal management, and value management.

Project management: The information construction involves the software engineering, the BPR project is has the time, the one-off project task, moreover the control difficulty is extremely high, many ERP projects have failed to reach the target within the control scope. The accumulation of project management experience can not rely on a short period of time to learn, the basic requirements of project management certification are 4,000 hours of project experience.

Goal management: In the General Enterprise, IT department plays the role of service, with the business objectives to play a value, passively waiting for the call may be a common phenomenon. This passive way of working, the contribution to the enterprise is very limited, the goal management emphasizes the initiative to improve performance, the experience of the goal management can be considered as another condition of the CIO.

Value Management: IT departments are often seen as the money-making sector, especially the advent of the dotcom bubble, which makes it more affected. The basic task of changing this idea is to find the value point of informatization to Enterprise, and to put forward the argument from the point of value contribution of any work. CIOs should have value management concepts and experience.

Learning Ability Background conditions

21st century is called the information Age, because the development of information technology has made a huge breakthrough, information technology to enterprises to bring new opportunities and challenges, information products are in accordance with Moore's law than people think of the speed of ascension, learning and mastering information technology is much greater than any other industry.

The CIO of an enterprise is entrusted with the task of planning information strategy for enterprises, and learning ability is one of the most important considerations. In the field of information, the life cycle of knowledge is just 18 months, and all the knowledge of the past can be ineffective in a short time. Learning is the life-long task of CIOs, and information technology, management technology, planning and implementation techniques are all aspects to be learned.

Diversification of information technology and information systems also requires that the CIO's learning is not mechanical, need to integrate knowledge of other disciplines, if the service for the production enterprises need to master the knowledge of production management, understand the production model of enterprises, grasp the enterprise procurement cycle, production cycle and sales cycle of information flow relationship If the service for the circulation enterprise, need to understand the sales analysis, logistics management knowledge.

ERP Project has industry solutions, but the CIO of this position may not have the division of the industry, with CIO quality talent in the enterprise, need to quickly understand the operation of the enterprise, the key condition is learning ability.

Innovative and Bold

In the promotion of information technology, we can see a lot of business model into the life, e-commerce form from enterprise-to-business, g2b to consumer business, e-commerce has been predicted as no e-commerce enterprises can not business, and now may not go so far to the point, But information technology is indeed creating an information business model that creates one economic miracle after another.
The presence of CIO has already indicated that the information technology occupies more and more important position in the enterprise development, CIO not only must guarantee the normal operation of the computer network, more importantly is participates in the enterprise's development plan, fixes the road for the enterprise development, prepares the good car.

To participate in enterprise development planning, CIOs need not only information technology knowledge, innovation awareness and courage is equally important, the new business model of course is the new information system framework, through the information system construction for the enterprise's decision-making system and implementation system services.

It is entirely foreseeable that the challenges faced by CIOs are not geared towards the past, but to the future. Many unknown and unprecedented information technology will appear before us, the choice of technology to enter the end of the road to support the development of enterprises, the enterprise may be just the beginning of a nightmare.

Be familiar with decision theory and methodology

We have seen the CIO face the challenges of the future, many unknown situations to appear on the CIO's desk, to solve planning problems, project implementation issues, not emotional, subjective, strict decision-making theory and methodology is to ensure the success of the information base.

Therefore, the CIO must be familiar with the decision theory and methodology, through careful research, analysis and judgment to determine the direction of the development of enterprise information, specifically determine the investment orientation of information projects, even including the choice of excellent external partners. In the specific work, it will be more to reflect the importance of the methodology.

For example, Enterprise ERP project selection, need to judge the scale of investment, benefit forecast, risk assessment, need to choose products, consulting services and partners, need to make a lot of decisions, its complexity will not renmin personal marriage, or enterprise recruitment.

The same is the implementation of ERP projects, not to install the system can play a role for the enterprise, the need for system configuration, personnel training, data preparation, simulation and other stages, the implementation of the project in the scientific methodology of guidance, to avoid risk, to promote the success of the project.
