tion Plan
This means that during ISP you (or, more likely, senior IS
managers responsible for the IS plan) must model current and
future organization informational needs and develop strategies
and project plans to migrate the current information systems
and technologies to their desired future state.
ISP is a top-down process that takes into account the outside
forcesindustry, economic, relative size, geographic region,
and so onthat are critical to the success of the firm.
ISP methodologies
Methodologies such as Business Systems Planning (BSP)
and Information Engineering (IE) have been developed
to support the ISP process most contain the following
three key activities:
1. Describe the current situation.
The most widely used approach for describing the
current organizational situation is generically referred
to as top-down planning. Top-down planning
attempts to gain a broad understanding of the
informational needs of the entire organization.
The approach begins by conducting an extensive
analysis of the organizations mission, objectives, and
strategy
and
determining
the
information
requirements needed to meet each objective. This
approach to ISP implies by its name a high-level
SP Methodology
2. Describing the target situation, trends, and constraints.
After describing the current situation, the next step in the ISP
process is to define the target situation that reflects the
desired future state of the organization. This means that the
target situation consists of the desired state of the locations,
units, functions, processes, data, and information systems
Characteristics of IS plan
The top-down (or plan-driven) projects join a set of bottomup or needs-driven projects submitted as system service
requests from managers to form the short-term systems
development
Risks in Information
System
IT security risk is the harm to a process or the
related
information
resulting
from
some
purposeful or accidental event that negatively
impacts the process or the related information.
Software Needs
Computer software is divided into two parts:
1. Application Software- like MS word, C, C+
+
2. System Software DOS, Windows
Application Software
3. General Purpose Application Programs
4. Application Specific Programs

5. System Management Programs
6. System Development Programs
Procurement
The act of obtaining or buying goods or services.
Process includes preparation and processing of
demand as well as end receipt and approval of
payment.
It
involves:
Purchase
planning,
determination,
development
The process of acquisition of goods or services
required as raw material (direct procurement) or for
operational purposes (indirect procurement) for a
company or a person can be called procurement. The
procurement process not only involves the purchasing
of commodities but also quality and quantity checks
Procurement Options
Procurement can be defined as the
purchase of merchandise or services at
the optimum possible total cost in the
correct amount and quality. These good
and services are also purchased at the
correct time and location for the express
gain or use of government, company,
business, or individuals by signing a
contract
Your volume
The fixed costs associated with making
(e.g., the tooling that must be bought)
The per-unit direct costs of making
The per-unit landed cost from a
supplier
So, you plug these numbers into a
couple of formulas:
Outsourcing as an option
CTB = V * LC and CTM = FC + (PUDC * V)
Where,
CTB = Cost To Buy
V = Volume
LC = Supplier's Per Unit Landed Cost
CTM = Cost To Make
FC = Fixed Costs (of making)
PUDC = Per Unit Direct Cost (of making)
If CTM exceeds CTB, then it is more financially desirable to buy. If CTB
exceeds CTM, the opposite is true..
